Happy New Year

I bought some sparkly yarn I have been eying for ages, and I splurged a bit and bought one. I made a rather lovely little snowflake, but since I was a bit late in buying the yarn they did not have any white sparkly left so my snowflake looks a lot more like a star. But none the less it is festive and blends in with the rest o the sparkly decor. 

I followed a recipe from a book I bought just before Christmas, there were lots of nice little things to crochet and knit in it, but I have forgotten the name of the book. Maybe I will tell you another time because now I am off into the new year.

So Happy New Year!

The Blue Angel

There might not become more than one, perhaps two of these angels, they really are hard work. Today I have done mostly stitching on this project and I am not halfway there... Not by a long shot.... But she does look rather fancy in her dress? :)

And IF I make more than one angel, the others will not have gold hems on their dresses, the only gold will be the star in one of the recipes. So be warned, though the gold makes her look more regal and heavenly.
