    I've never done book folding before so thought I'd give it a go after seeing this type of thing on YouTube. I'll probably never make another one, but it was fun to do and I now have another nice display piece for next Christmas. 

 
The glasses were given to me as a gag gift, so I decided to use them on the cover.

Ten page groups were blanket stitched together, working from each end of the book. The remaining middle pages were folded to make the tree shape.

This is the spine dangle I made to finish it off.

This year's Christmas boxes for the families, 2 Santa's sacks and 2 boxes. I later made another sack for my granddaughter, now that she has her own new home.

   I got this money box as a giveaway, and couldn't resist that cute face. Her name is Mootilda, I was thinking of Cowmilla but she's too cute for that. I'll wait until I find a plain, drab looking cow to use that name.

I found this ceramic bell at an op shop for a couple of dollars, so I pulled the sad decorations off the top and danglefied it. It looks so nice hanging in Christmas Corner in my craft room.
