...Well, it has been a while since my last post, right ? I`ve been missing this place a lot and I hope to be here regurarly from now on, hoping you love the idea, too !!! So December is here again and I love this time of the year very much and that`s why I have a pattern  to show you my last christmassy idea... are you ready to follow me? WHAT YOU NEED : 5mm and 4mm hooks scissors yarn needle pompom maker : I use a 45mm Clover pompom maker  some colourful mini bells PVA glue, brush, pins, blocking board or foam tiles YARN : it`s all from my personal stash.
