I just love this!!! :) So fluffy and shiney! I was a crow in a previous life so anything shiny is good for me. :D I'm probably making this for Christmas. Your instructions are excellent! I do not need more projects! :O I've got so many Xmas decos out now the only way I'll get out of the apartment is up my chimney which won't be easy because my fireplace is a fabulous fake! Thank you very much.
