I told you I've been busy. Hard at work, straining my poor eyes, with felt, seed-beads and thread. But it's been worth it, because these decorations are wonderful. I am inordinately proud of them, like a parent whose child manages to remember their lines in the school nativity play. Silly really, but so worth it.

A star, made from red felt, with a mirror in the middle and seed-beads at the tips.



And a tree in rich coniferous green, beaded with care and pride. A little bell at the top, so it will jingle whenever the dog walks past.
