Toothache and Christmas Decorations

The other day I had my toof pulled out. They used some pliers but they didn't work so they got a bigger pair of pliers and pulled it out. It really hurt but now it is better. The tooth is huge and had to come out because the last stupid dentist left a gum infection too long without treating it.

Yesterday I went to the home ed meeting. It was fun. They were making christmas decorations like table displays and lanterns. Afterwards we all went to the cafe together.


This is some of us starting to make our table decorations.




And some of the finished ones




Then we made our lanterns

and switched out the lights




here are mine and my bothers decorations.

My first Cross Stitch Christmas ornament


This is the backing fabric but it is a bit more red winish than this (mums description)..a bit deeper.



And here is my robin ornament on the tree with little red buttons.
I am very proud of this and did all the x-stitch myself. Tomorrow I hope I can start to sew a stocking.

New Works

I drew and painted these parrots all by myself and used acrylic paints. My mum painted some as well but mine were better than hers so she threw hers away and wouldnt let me put them on the blog hehe.

This is Van Goghs Starry Night (my interpretation). It is also done with acrylics and it took me over a week to do as you had to wait for each layer to dry before doing the next.
I was very pleased with the finished painting.
This is my first ever cross stitch. I couldnt finish it today because my mum wouldnt let me. She said it was too late and I have to finish it tomorrow because we went shopping instead ;-(
It is on 11 count aida and i want to turn it into a christmas tree decoartion when it is finished. Can you tell what it is going to be?

I also love to take photographs and here is one that I took yesterday .





I also took a photo of the sun coming up this morning.
