Do you like my tree ornament? I made several of these and they sold like crazy at craft fairs. Also have one hanging on our daughter's tree and it looks so cute. Can also be put on Christmas packages as a cute, little decoration.

That tree ornament is really cute! What are its dimensions, by the way? Maybe I will copy it--I wish! The arthritis in my hands is so bad I can hardly hold a needle...but I can try, right? I used to crochet and do embroidery, but those are just memories now. Thanks for sharing your cute little candle....

Don't think I actually kept notes for any sort of pattern on this one. When I make them without an actual pattern, it's pretty much guess work. So sorry to hear about the arthritis in your hands. Thanks for responding.

I did use 7 mesh, clear plastic canvas. Cheap at Walmart.

That's really lovely! And it reminds me of ornaments my mother in law used to make; she was "crafty" too :-)

It was a fun project and didn't take that long to complete. The difficult part is securing all the pieces together. Thanks for responding.

That is too adorable hon! I love it! I wish I had the patience and the talent to do crafts like that, but I never made it past the simple latch hook kits that are for kids. LOL! Awesome job sweetie.

Thanks so much for the nice compliment. I find this type of craft very relaxing. I do like detailed work that involves concentration. Keeps my brain from becoming pickled...lol Thanks for responding.
