Wilderness Ornaments

 The Redbird Ornament Made By the Queen

For all of you that may not know...the South is known for their Lady's Garden Clubs.  These clubs have been around for years and years...women getting together to talk about floral arranging, gardening, proper pruning, fertilizing & pest control, decorating...and the list goes on and on...Well, The Cranky Queen is a member of the Camellia Garden Club.
Our "garden club" is different from others because we are not much "into gardening"! LOL...we are more "into the socializing".  Now, we do have speakers or visit gardens & nurseries (even wineries)...& we each take turns hostessing each month, serving wonderful desserts & such...but to say we were "Master Gardeners" would be a flat out lie!

November was the Cranky Queen's month to hostess & as usual, all the ladies wanted me to present a DIY craft.  So because I was feeling less cranky that day, I agreed to give a tutorial on creating Christmas ornaments using pine cones. See the ladies diligently crafting away!

These ladies are just waiting to add ribbon to their ornaments.

Our Garden Club President chose to this "little quail" for her ornament. Didn't it turn out cute?

These are some of the members of the Camellia Garden Club posing with their finished ornaments. 

We had a great time crafting & gossiping (oh, I mean visiting!)

 Other ornament ideas that I found using pine cones.

STAY CALM & CRAFT!
