I made wall hangings this year along with the tree ornaments. I had an idea to crochet small 'snowflakes' out of white crochet thread not yarn.
I also wanted a snowman and a tree. After auditioning several fabrics for the snowman, I liked glittered felt best of all.
After, again, auditioning several fabrics for the tree, I settled on white brocade. It just completed the picture better than say a dark fabric or even a fabric that simulated a birch tree.
I used the machine with a zigzag stitch to attach the snowman and the tree, but after pressing the crocheted pieces with starch I hand stitched them to the background.
And speaking of background, after trying several plain colors, a dark blue fit the best. Here's what it looks like...
Although it doesn't show up both the snowman and the tree sparkly in daylight.
I hope to get the tree up this weekend but as I said before, that may be the extent of the decorations although I have been making things like the magazine tree which I will share next week.
Enjoy your weekend and take time for yourself...
Talk with you next week...
