{ getting in early }

My friend Catherine and I have been spending some quality time together in the last few weeks tackling a craft project inspired by a christmas banner Catherine saw at Wind Lost.

Yes, I know it’s only February…but you know how it is when the Christmas rush is upon you and all those little projects you planned to tackle fly on out the window in favour of more essential tasks?

Well now we can’t be blamed for contributing to it, and in fact, you might see your way clear to thanking us for getting you started nice and early 🙂

We had so much fun making two variations for Catherine (here) that we decided to make a third one for me and photograph the steps for a how-to project.

So here are some instructions for a Freshwater Pearl Garland, and some beautiful Christmas Tags to spell out your sentiment of choice.

The instructions are downloadable in PDF format so you can save them to your PC and tackle them whenever the Christmas spirit attacks fills you.
