He's a star!

Our 7 year old is a bit of a star when it comes to making his bed and generally keeping his room tidy.

His brother and sister?

 Well let's just say, NOT so tidy.

Here is a little star garland I crocheted for his tidy room.

See, bed all made, cushions in place. Light streaming in.

Good boy!

Sorry the evening light is not fantastic.

(but, I did make the bean bag and cushion too, that's another story).

These starts were quick and easy to do.

The pattern is from over here.

I tell you, It's Friday night and my inner granny can't wait to finish tea and hit the couch so I can have some serious crochet time!

More homemade decorations

Here are a few more handmade goodies I have been busy with...

Clay star tag.

Lace and burlap pom poms.

Star garland.

The pattern is from here and I found it through Tina from Rubie's Place.

Some little birdies Miss B and I made last weekend.

Hope you have some handmade goodness too!

Deck the halls....

Well sort of ...

There were no boughs of holly to be found

tr la la la...

Yes we got the hint. (See previous post)

And set to work over the weekend putting up and decorating the tree.

(Please excuse dodgy power cord shots)

One of my clay tags made especially for the tree.

A bit of sparkle larkle!

This is our angel. She sits on the tree every year.

There is a current debate between Miss B and Big boy regarding who actually made her.

A bit of hall tablescaping.

Complete with raggy wreath.

Another project worked on with Miss B.

And a few strategically placed candles.

All works were done under the supervision of these 3 blokes.

We also made a crocheted star garland (See Rubie's place for more details)

and some cute little white birdies.

And some pom pom thingy's to put on the presents.

(See A Room for Everyone for inspiration)

All in all a very productive weekend.

(except for the ironing, it will just have to wait)

I'll post some pics when I get some decent ones.

If anyone has any ideas on how to centre my blog header please sing out.

I have tried going into template designer and altering the CSS to no avail.

Ahhhhhhhhh......
