The Cobweb Christmas
There have been a lot of book recommendations going around these days — always a nice thing, to my way of thinking.
Lori over at Camp Creek has a bunch of great lists, including: holiday favorites, read-alouds, and books for 8-to-11-year-old set. Amanda has her Winter reading list up, too. This got me thinking about The Cobweb Christmas — a favorite of our family. It's the story behind the tradition of putting tinsel on trees.
This spiderweb ornament that I made was inspired by the story, as well as the wonderful MSL beaded snowflakes. I put it together many years ago while recovering from surgery. It was definitely a pre-kiddeos endeavor — I can't imagine having little trays of beads and wire cutters lying around right now.
I didn't find a link to the version of the book that we have, but here's a picture.

Those would look so beautiful on a Christmas tree. Sparkley and slightly creepy - the best combination ever! :)
That is so great! I wish I had the patience to attempt it.
It would make a lovely Brooch. (I feel really old and silly saying that word).
Thanks for the book recommendation. I love a good Christmas book.
Great sparkley spiderweb.
