CHAINED WREATH ORNAMENT

How cute....how easy...how fun!

...think how many of these you could make in an evening...

they would be cute hanging up anywhere, or tied onto

Christmas gifts or jars or bags of holiday treats....

I think I will make some with a bow made out of

string for a nice little country look....

here is where I found these:

TEDDY ORNAMENTS

These are just so cute I can't wait to make some of them...

they look easy to make too so maybe I will make more than one!

...they would be so cute on a tree or gift package or just

hanging up anywhere....I can picture this becoming a special little

toy for a special little child too....they all would love these...

(of course if making for a really young child you would want to go with
safe eyes for these)

...you can find the pattern for these and more cute crochet things here:

CROCHET SNOW SWIRLS

This is a really nice idea...snow swirls to hang on your

Christmas tree....I have to make some of these and I think

it would be fun to add some pretty little beads to them also..

I know they will be quick and easy to make....I used to

crochet swirly little pretties like this for my daughter's hair

when she was a little girl and these are made the same way

as those...

I think they would also be pretty hung under kitchen

cabinets or under bookcase shelves too...how about from a

curtain rod at the top of doorways...lots of ways these would add

a festive snowy look to your Christmas decorating....

...enjoy!

...here is the easy pattern for these...

think how quickly you could make up a dozen of them!

GRAHAM CRACKER BITES

Oh my!  Graham crackers, coconut and marshmallows all mixed

together in one little treat....how can anyone resist that...

these would be great for filling up a pretty gift container with a big

red bow or to serve on a platter at Christmas gatherings.....

I love graham crackers so I would have a hard time stopping

munching on these....

I found this great recipe here:
