I love these, Dahlia!
Up in the attic I have some Christmas tree ornaments that I made long ago, in with all the other ornaments we collected over the years. Since DH passed, it would make me too sad to put this collection on a tree with him not being here to see it, so I've been getting smaller trees each year, and just decorating them with a string of lights and a box of plastic ornaments which look like glass that I used to put on trees up in our woods.
However this year's tree was bigger than I realized until I got it home, and it seemed to need something more in the way of decorations, a homespun touch. Not having time or energy to sew new ornaments this year, I went onto Etsy and bought a few handmade ornaments, some new and some vintage. They added just what this tree needed.
The bead-work and embroidery on this ornament took so much care, as did the macrame or crocheting on the tiny bell and heart, and felting work that created this bird. It makes me happy to look at this handiwork.

Those are all super cute! I especially love the little bird next to the red bell!
