Hello my dear friends,
I should have shared this post months ago when it was still July and therefore "Christmas in July" was still that time year and when I made what I am sharing today but for some reason I didn't get to it but like I sometimes say, it better late than never.
I was up early again, sitting quietly drinking a cup of tea, wanting to be creative but not knowing what I really wanted to do but that didn't last for long thankfully. I don't know what made me think of my newest making but the thought of Christmas in July just wouldn't get out of my head, so I gave in. I love to combine different things but still keep it simple but then also beautiful and then again maybe even a little rustic. I basically wanted a bit of every look I love and to use things I love. Easy but also a little difficult at the same time to balance it just right with the right bits and pieces. I have made tassels before just not as Christmas tree ornaments and I think I have found the right balance for my Christmas/Winter sari silk tassels. I like that the don't shout out Christmas but just gently tell you it instead. I used some sari silk ribbon in a beautiful shade of rich cream and a hue of pale blue in a few places. I combine it with hemp string and gold eyelash yarn from Martha Stewart. I added a golden colored larger pine cone charm and because of Christmas, I also added some little golden jingle bells too. I am so pleased with the way they have turned out, everything is just right and I like the look of them so much.
And this is what I came up with ...

ReplyDeleteYou're created another winner Karen - I wouldn't strictly use these at Christmas because I think they'd be perfect all winter long.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Karen! Christmas can come!
