Here are some kitty ballerina ornaments I just made from stuff in my stash. Below is a quick DIY on how to make Santa ones. They go together really quickly. I'm also using this DIY to make angel ones. You can also make them into regular Santa's by substituting Santa faces for the kittens.
Pipe Cleaner Kitty Ornament DIY
Your supplies: 1 regular pipe cleaner, 1 bumpy pipe cleaner, 1/4 extra fuzzy pipe cleaner, face cut from old card, tiny wreath and tree, also 4 small beads and a piece of string for hanging.
Loop the bumpy pipe cleaners together. Twist the bottom piece to make a star like below.
Lay the fuzzy piece on top and wrap the untwisted (arm) pieces around it to hold it. It should look like below:
Wrap the other pipe cleaner around the middle covering the white "ends" to form a body. don't make it too tight.
Leave a piece loose for the tail. Secure by passing it under the loop above.
Stick the beads on the ends. Bend a tiny bit of the pipe cleaner end up to secure the bead.
Pass the string through the fuzzy loop and make a hanging loop by tying off.
Hot glue the face on the front and add tree and wreath. You can also add some glitter. The pink kitty's skirt was made by putting glue along the back of the ribbon and ruffling the crepe paper onto it. Then it's just hot glued on.

Tuesday outfit is for SpyGirl's 52 Pick-Me-Up: Trend Salad. We are supposed to wear as many trends as possible. I really don't follow the trends but here's my take on it. I'm covering pattern matching, menswear, colored tights, and booties. Oh, and like Val Sparkle- silvery foxy grey hair!!
Everything except the tights is thrifted. Skirt is SagHarbor, Shawl/Vest is CJBanks, Turtleneck is Dressbarn, and the booties are Nine & Co that I got for $6 brand new unworn!!
I am also thrilled and honored to be SpyGirls' Digital Catwalk Model this week!! She even caught the purple in my hair!!!
Wait to see what happens when you mix some bleach, cheapo bottle brush trees, glitter and vintage beads. Stay tuned for the reveal!!

Those kitten ornaments are so cute!
Wow - Anne has captured you, what a fabulous portrait. Love your trend-salad too, that is a great-looking wrap. xox
Yes, a most excellent trend salad!
Glad you like your portrait. :-)
The kitten ornaments are so cute, thank you for the tutorial. Your portrait is lovely.
Those kittens are fab, you'd make a killing if you sold those, people go mental over vintage looking Xmas stuff!
Looking very trim in the blue jumper and Anne's sketch is fab. Mrs Allnut has the best taste, I bet that skirt is gorgeous. xxx
What a fun portrait!
That kitten ornaments is so cute. Very retro.

All of your outfits look amazing! I'm going to have to try this DIY - Ally sends me the most amazing cards and I never know what to do with them - the ones with faces I could make these and keep them up all year long!!
Your creativity is limitless! Both the ornaments and outfits.
Congratulations on the Digital Catwalk! SpyGirl captured the essence of you to perfection.
Such cute kitties! Love Anne's portrait of you, and you are getting slimmer by the day, Tamera! xxxx
