Well... it's the first day of winter here...
And it's living up to expectations - dreary, cold and wet!
Please don't think that I'm complaining though...
It makes for the perfect crafting day - indoors where it's warm and dry - and no guilty feelings about how you should be outside making the most of the sunshine...
Most of us here have spent the last week or two suffering effects of the flu - so I lost my little model for the Alien Encounter hat, and for this one too. Poor little blossom was down for the count, and spent the best part of a week in bed.
This beanie was created for the Celestial category at the Alice Springs Beanie Festival.
And if you're thinking that the copper wire and beads looks a little familiar... it's from a project I made a few years ago - you can read the original blog post about it here.
I added a bunch more beads to fill out the centre section of the sun... since it just needed some more bling to give it a lift.
And once again, it was fabulous to recycle an old piece and put it to good use!
