Thingymas decorations articleMochyn's mention of tree decorations in the knitted novelties thread reminded me that we don't have any sort of Thingymas decorating article.This strikes me as very remiss. Sooooo, if you have any suitable ideas, recipes, patterns, photographs, instructions, linkies or whatever, could you post them in this thread and we can compile them into a comprehensive Downsizers' article for your delight and delectation. |

I really must write some instructions for making the beaded faeries:

Those are lovely Mochyn - I don't suppose they'd be appropriate for the non, but keen to learn, crocheteer would they? I'd like a pocket sized project to learn on, but it's difficult to find something I'd actually like to produce as well and these are very pretty. |

I was thinking the same Bugs - but I have never picked up a crochet hook in my life - can I put in a request for a beginners crochet article as well
|
||||||
| bernie-woman |

I can dry orange slices. But I can't crochet - they do look lovely though - another request for instructions suitable for beginners. | ||||||

Stained glass biscuits make lovely thingymas decorations, I made them for the first time last year, put a few in my hampers, and everybody LOVED them!
Will put the recipe in the recipe DB and link shortly. |
