Having terrible issues with back pain and left hip pain; quilting for any length of time is hard to do right now. So did some playing on the computer and came across some videos of Christmas Fabric ornaments that people had made. Light bulb shines full force; I could do that. Bought the stryofoam balls (wow are they way more expensive than I anticipated) and gathered up scrap fabrics, buttons, beads, lace and a glue gun.

These are the two ornaments that I made yesterday. They are fun and relaxing and will make excellent Christmas Stocking stuffers. Thanks for looking and any and all comments.

You did well. I tried them last year but they didn't sit right. I must try again. How did you score the balls? And how deeply? Or did you just glue the scraps down?

Pretty- I have back issues. My Siatica is awful but if you can, try the chiropractor for your back pain.. He really helps me.

I used (oh I can not for the life of me think of the correct name) the tool that you use to trace patterns with tracing paper. So, it went approximently 1/4 inch into the foam. Then I used my seam ripper to push the material down into the grooves. I did use the glue gun for attaching everything else.

Taking your mind off the pain will help, been there done that on a daily basis. Beautiful items, in the 80s daughters and I made the beaded ornaments, I still have them.
