I’m a fiber artist …. I knit, I crochet, I spin, I weave …. I love fiber!!

The yarn balls had me laughing so hard, my gut hurt! What a perfect gift for my fiber-fanatic friends! Or even the not-so-fiber-fanatic ones … they’ll surely not forget who gave them *that* ornament!!

Pinterest has me creating lists and plans for all the decorations I want to make this year, there are at least 20, and I can’t just make one of things, there has to be at 2 minimum. Haven’t worked out where I’m going to find the time to do it all, mind you.

I am in the same boat, Larissa. I have a list of things I want to make, but Christmas seems to be speeding toward us way too quickly.

I’ve probably made two dozen different ornaments already because of Pinterest. I have 40 boards and probably 14,000 pins thusfar. I must admit I’m a Pinterest addict. There, I’ve said it. I love Pinterest as it puts the whole Internet at your fingertips. Thanks for posting the lovely ornaments. I think I’ll be making a few of these too. One can never have too many ornaments!

Oh wow, Sue…that’s a lot of pins! I’m addicted to the ornament and holiday boards. :)

And you’re right…you can’t have too many ornaments!

Thank you for posting this. We lost my father-in-law on August 21st of this year. He always put up a huge beautiful Christmas tree. We inherited his house and the huge tree. In memory of him I will be making your sheet music tree ornaments. He was an highly accomplished pianoist and composser. We have a lot of the sheet music he wrote. I will copy it for this project. This will be a special way he will still be with us this year. Once again thank you for the idea.

What an amazing way to honor him and to have something extra special this year to remember him by.

I like quite a few of them. Mostly all of them. The one which stood out the most was the wooden thread spool with the Christmas List. I have saved all my spools and was wondering what to do with them, Now I know. Thank you.

I really liked that one too, Linda. It’s an awesome way to re-use some of those spools.. :)

My mom loved gospel music and I have all her old hymn books. I could not part with them all these years. Now, I know what to do with them. I will make the Sheet Music Christmas Balls with them and give out to all of my family and her friends too. Our family is very small and gets smaller as time goes by. Any suggestions on what to do with the leftover hymns pages. I just could not throw them out and who would want them next?

You could make some to sell at a boutique or donate them to a church that does a boutique. If you didn’t want to make them all, you could give them the extra pages and directions so that they could make them for their boutique.

There are also many other craft type things that calls for sheet music. Maybe do a search here on Pinterest or on Google and see what comes up. You could use additional pages in a scrapbook or as background for a card.

Definitely, Merrie…I think Ronya’s suggestion to check out Pinterest for music sheet ideas would definitely turn up some good ideas for you.

And I think the music Christmas ornaments would be a beautiful gift for your family! :)
