Rylee's Peacock Ball Ornament

I started this yesterday while I was making salt dough ornaments.  This is a new pattern that I am working on.  I still have a lot of process improvements, but I think it is coming along nicely.

My great niece loves Peacocks, so I am making a peacock ball ornament pattern named after her.  She will be so excited.

As you noticed, I sat the vintage mitten pattern aside, again.  Round 1 is just not matching all the other rounds and I either make too many stitches based from what I am reading and the holes for the ribbon to run through don't match up.

I can understand why one would not want to pick up this form of art during this era.  I can sit down and design and create something, but to read the vintage crochet patterns, ugg. I am determined though, I will not give up, it will get done in given time.

Today, I am ending a little early.  I worked on making a gazillion salt dough ornaments and ended up not getting to bed until really late.  Loved every minute of it.

Have a great day or evening, where ever you may be,

Salt Dough Snowflake Ornaments

This day consisted of making salt dough ornaments.  Here is a small sample of what I did.  I bought this large rubber stamp with different snowflakes all over it and thought it would be cute to have snowflakes stamped on a snowflake.

Love the stamp.  Now to sand down and cover with a protective clear gloss.

I need to learn how to stamp on both sides without ruining the shape of the ornament.

I'm ready for winter,
