Wordless Wednesday — Homemade Christmas Tree Ornaments

Bucking the Wordless patterns to put a brief editor’s note:  My family has the tradition of putting handmade Christmas ornaments on our Christmas trees. I’ve got ornaments from my grandmom, mom, sisters, nieces & nephews, etc. The ornaments that make the most sense for this blog post though are ones that connect to agriculture. And my favorite ones all have a cotton theme!

    I love the cotton ball angel too! I make ornaments every year. My Granny used to make them for us so it’s something I carried on after she passed. I like to make them with my kids too. I just posted a couple of my favorites on my blog https://dabblingsandwhimsey.blogspot.com/ I’d love to hear what you think of mine 🙂

    Love the tree!! Homemade ornaments are great (though I tend to buy them from other people). My mom saved all my “school project” ornaments and some still get to adorn our tree too.

      I do pick up ornaments while traveling, particularly when I’m overseas and a few family members do that for gifts too!

My Cotton Rec!

I’m fairly picky about fabrics — I want cotton that is quality that lasts. Keeps its shape. That’s why I’m sharing this link. I truly believe in the products.  I get a referral fee for you using the links.

For years now, I’ve bought myself dresses and leggings, that show my love of writing, science, etc. from Svaha. I’ve bought gifts too — seriously awesome socks for kids with awesome women on them!
