@NanaKat Come see!

Thank you! Kiki posted pictures of beaded angel ornaments that her Granny made for her years ago. They were so pretty and unique.
So intrigued, I had to play with my beads until I figured out how to make one of each. Now I'm making Christmas Angels for my grandchildren.
Here is what I've finished so far...the top ones are wire and beads while the bottom ones are beads, safety pins and wire.

DH and I made the pallet trees last year. This past fall, I painted them. My blank canvas needed something. DH bought a band saw, and stars were my first project. The other day, I thought it looked a little dull, so of course, I needed chickens! I sketched them, transferred image to my wood, then cut, painted, and jazzed them up with fleece scarves ... I wonder if I can figure out how to do sun hats for the summer months.

P.S. Painted them to resemble my two adorable, too-sweet Buff Orpingtons.
