having fun making more of these....



















Sadly.... only a few at a time...my hand still can't grasp needles or do much precise folding ...before the elbow gives me grief.



















Save your pretty foil-y type papers.....even some chocolate wrappers work beautifully.















I can point you in the right direction for folding instructions.... or send you some more detailed pics if I can't find the site... or...we just ask fellow bloggers to help us.  That's how I found a site again last year.















Then, it's just a matter of sticking some points into some other points...ahhahahha...and voila.... a cute little origami type tree ornament.  Attach a gold or silver thread... or ...well, any colour you like, really ...why not?  Make them your own.  Sometimes I like to add a little tiny gold or silver bell....or some beautiful beads ....  my tree is full of these things.   Folks will be able to choose one or a couple to take home with them from the tree.
 Photos in the camera... will upload them tomorrow.... off to physio now...... still at it.   How I wish there was more good stuff happening with this poor old arm.  It is taking sooooo long to notice any appreciable difference...

Oh, your poor arm, I hope you start to see more improvement soon. I agree with you about the scissors - Malcolm knows never to touch my scissors without permission!! I have different coloured ribbons tied on them to show what they can be used for. I have the most wonderful pinking shears, that I have had since I was at school. They are very heavy, and still cut beautifully!
