It is a little to early to be getting started for Christmas, but I could not resist when I found instructions to recreate these Tussie Mussies.  I made these years ago when I was decorating a tree for Festival of the Trees.  I just love these victorian pieces.  Very easy to make and quick too.  I am considering making several and maybe trying a burgandy and hanging from a garland over fireplace and intermix clear icicles with gold trim. Really too early for that but I am wanting to be prepared this year, keeping fingers crossed.
