I had my first ever blog meet this morning, with the lovely Janelle from Threads of Friendship. It was wonderful to meet a kindred spirit!! Janelle and I share a love of Farmers Market fabric and have been sourcing it from various stores around Perth. We had a fabric exchange and here are the lovely pieces I received to add to my stash!
I am starting to think more about Christmas recently and have been working on updating my decorations. I have made a collection of yo yo ornaments to hang on the tree.
I have also used up more of my paint cards to make these quick paper balls. They are easily constructed by cutting strips of paper/card. Punch a hole in each end. Join 8 – 10 strips together with a brad at each end and then fan into a ball shape. I attached some silver thread so they can be hung from the tree. These are a great quick kids craft and can also be made out of used Christmas cards or any card that you have on hand.
Edit: A wooden tree, similar to the one used with the yo yo's, is available in Australia from Adairs.

Hi Lisa
It was so much fun meeting you today, we shall have to do it again! Thanks for the heads up about the tree, yours looks stunning with the yoyo's.
Blessings
Janelle :)
2 lovely decoration ideas there. The little white tree is very attractive.
clever way to re-use old xmas cards.
Wow your Christmas decorations look great, I love your paint chip balls.
Fabulous idea to use yo-yos in that way! I usually don't like them, but you might convince me otherwise!
And huge congrats on Du Jour. You know we'll all buy copies!!
Lovely new fabric too!!!
everything is so super cute especially the yoyos!!!
Fantastic idea - I think I will do those at school with old christmas cards! Thanks for the tip! btw love those fabrics too!!
The balls are a great idea! I am definitely going to be making some of those with my daughter this year!
Great ideas as usual. Where oh where did you get the gorgeous white tree?

I love the yo yo ornaments. Such a cute idea!!! Thanks for sharing.
I love that yoyo tree! Can you hear my brain working overtime at the possibilities flooding through it? x
The Christmas yo-yos are very cute. Those fabrics are soooo you! The blog meet sounded like fun.
I love the yo yo ornaments but I especially love the tree. Can I ask where you got it?
I love that fabric...and those yo-yos!!!
Ooh... love the yoyo's. May I ask where the white tree is from? It would be so perfect for my Jesse Tree ornaments!

Seriously, you are the queen of the paint chip card .... another book perhaps????
Lovely fabric and those xmas balls are great. I am going to get the grandchildren to help make some for our tree. xxx
Another post full of wonderful ideas.
Yummy fabrics! The yo-yos make charming decorations for a tree and the x-mas made from paint chip cards are so sweet. Thanks for your inspiring ideas, Lisa!
It would be fun to see shots of your house decorated for Christmas! The decorations look great.
Cheers,
Tracey
Those balls are lovely. I saw some similar ones at Ikea but they just don't have the same charm.
Your creativity never stops! I love the tree with the yo-yo ornaments! It's adorable! The balls are so cute! Your new fabric is wonderful!
Thanks for sharing!
Love the yo-yos. And the fabric is fabulous.
Thats a great idea with the yo yo's, it looks so good, might have to do a few for my tree
i love those yo yo ornaments. i wish i were still teaching elementary kids...i would have so many ideas to do with them.
oh your yo yo's are very good! I think I need to keep working at mine!
Corrie:)
I found packaged yo-yo's at a local fabric store. I was tempted (even though they're simple to make) to purchase them. They were made from vintage print fabrics that I've not seen available.
The card projects are a great recycling idea.
Sweet Wishes,
Sara
Catching up on HUGE backlog of blog-reading.... and am SO inspired by this post.... the tree, the yo-yo's and the paper balls...
What did you say you joined the ends of the balls together with?
What can I say??? Amazing! ... I can barely decorate the tree and look at you! Well done Lisa ... again!!! :)
