"Those are amazing. I thought for sure the reindeer and the snowflake were handmade until I saw how she did it. I might not go to the dollar store for Christmas towels, but I might have something here that will work. I don't want to put more money into it, so I wonder if I could fake it with a piece cut from a styrofoam tray?"

"I guess I have never tried to unroll a cotton ball, but why not? This is a rather unique method of making a snowman, but it looks great in her pictures. The top hat is snazzy, too, and the candy cane and the rest make it look so cute! I have to do it."

"That's really very pretty. It's amazing what you can find at a dollar store, but it's so easy to overlook things there (at least for me). I actually have a grape vine in the back yard that I think I could make a wreath from. I have thought about it before, but it's time to give it a try!"

"Autumn Amish Acorn Banner Once again, someone on your staff needs to be in charge of using the word Amish. This offends many people, including me, since I understand that the Amish don't "decorate". They would never make such a decoration!"

"At first I thought "what a neat gift" but I would keep these for myself! The jars she used might be hard to find, especially if they're tempered to withstand heat. I think it would look good to use those half pint or pint sized wide mouth canning jars, too. I have seen some old squarish type half pints that would be great for this."

It has been years since I crochet and have been wanting to get back into it. This cute cuddly crochet koala bear may just be the one to get my started back. It is so cute and just the right size for a little one. A good tutorial to follow. This looks easy enough for a beginner too. I love the bow or bowtie because that is where you can add color. Thats for the inspiration to get back into crocheting.

This is a cute little lovey that is quick to work up. It is just the right size for a little one to play with. I personally would not add the fur type yarn to the ears if making this for a baby. Babies put everything in their mouths, and some of these yarns shed.
