Dancing ladybugs - how cute is that?!?!
The Christian version of the 12 Days of Christmas points us toward the nine fruits of the spirit:
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law."
(Galatians 5:19-23, New International Version)
AD 1935, Sir Ninian Comper's chapel of the Resurrection in Pusey House, Oxford
Aussie style would bring us 8 wombats working
I'm not exactly sure what type of work wombats do, but this baby is sure cute!
In France we would be polishing off nine dishes for a chapter of canons (a college of priests, whose role is to celebrate the more solemn liturgical functions in a cathedral or a collegiate church) - who knew?!?
We would certainly need more than a cute reusable snack bag like this one:
$5.50 from our guest blogger's etsy shop
to hold our leftovers!

Hello and Welcome to day 9! I choose 9 Ladies Dancing because my sister and I used to dance in front of our big living room mirror when we were young making our very own music videos. We had so much fun together!Let me introduce myself! I am Fawnda from Fireflies and Jellybeans a little DIY blog with lots of fun projects to try out.
I also have an Etsy shop, Funky Joy where I sell some of my homemade creations!
I love the challenge of a new project! Since we are talking about Ladies today I have a little crafty project for you! We all know that ladies need to accessorize and we want to look cute even when it is cold out! So, here is a SUPER cute scarf and ear muff that you can make. It is an easy sewing project so even a beginner can do it!
Here is what you will need:
2 fleece scarfs (from the Dollar store!- I also saw them at Old Navy for a $1, but that deal might be done now)
Flannel fabric (about 1.5 yards - use a coupon at JoAnns)
Velcro
1.) Cut your fabric to be the same width of the scarf and about 6 inches shorter than the Length.
1. Cut your other Dollar store scarf and flannel into a 30 X 5 rectangles
2. I wanted rounded ends so I used a formula can as a template with my rolling cutter... you can leave it squared off if you want to.

3. Sew with right sides together. Leave a 3-4 inch opening to flip right side out. I like to leave my opening on the longer side and not on an end.
4. Flip right side out and top sew around the edge sewing your opening closed.

5. Cut a piece of Velcro about 4 inches long and sew it to the BACK side of one of the ends.
