Last Minute Christmas Craft

I really didnt do any crafting this Christmas. Not for lack of wanting to, I just never really got around to it. But when I saw this idea in an email from Joann's a few weeks back, I knew I wanted to try it. I had a bunch of foam balls I bought at a yardsale, so all I needed was the yarn. I dont knit or crochet (although I would like to learn), but I thought it was really cute.

I decided on blue & white because blue is my favorite color and I just love blue & white together. I didnt have the right size balls so I used the next size smaller and a few more than the picture shows. I also left out the knitting needles. I dont love my bow, but I am not good at tying those things, especially with wired ribbon.

This isnt craft related, but I wanted to share these since the Christmas decorations all got packed away today. I picked these up awhile back at a yardsale. I just love the soft colors and glitter. The box says Christmas by Krebs. I dont know anything about them. The cap of one of these says "West Germany" but the box says it's made in America. Anyone know anything about these?

I hope you have a happy new year!
