Time dedicated to making over the weekend was applied to: finishing the small daily word leaves; finishing the giveaway tokens; and rehabilitating a Christmas tree for a friend.
The daily word leaves are now ready to join shallow bowls to become Daily Leaf Words sets.

I not only finished the 42 stars tokens for volunteers; but also a few more peace pieces and tree of life pieces. All to be gifted.

The tree task was a matter of rehabilitating a stained and slightly grubby timber Christmas tree. After dismantling it and giving the parts a sand I diluted some old green ink and stained the timber. I think it is now good for another few years.

I now need to finish the bigger giveaway word leaves so I can get on to a commission that needs to be finished in the next 4 weeks.
love your revamped timber xmas tree!
