This past year I found this sweet little tree. It is marked "Japan" on the bottom. I like to collect unusual Christmas trees and they often inspire a little crafting of my own.
I found a bunch of this skinny wired chenille yarn at an estate sale this past year. The tag indicates it is used to "crotchet hats and accessories." The years have not been kind to the wire and it is brittle so it would not work for the original purpose. The colors are great tho.
From my studio a forest has sprung.
I think they turned out cute and the colors are unusual and fun.
This little forest and other holiday items will be on Etsy TONIGHT (Nov. 11th) 5:30 p.m, pacific time. I guarantee there will be something to give you a holiday smile!
Love the last picture!!! Can't wait for tonight.

Cute stuff, as usual - Ethel Style! You will sell out, in a flash.
How do you schedule Etsy listings? I have looked and looked, but can't seem to figure it out.

Those are very, very cute. And even though I spent so much time on Etsy today listing ornaments and kinda never want to go there again, I am making an exception for you. I know it will be a treat!

As usual, you are a crafty goddess! So cute! And now I'm crazy curious about crocheting with wired chenille yarn! :)
