New things Ive been working on!





Good Saturday Morning!

What a wonderful weather week this was. I think that's over now:(
Oh, I'm not complaining, I'm looking forward to our first snow!!

I spent the whole week inside making things and taking care of my sicky icky Dom, except for yesterday, we actually got out while waiting for Bella to get home from school and I cleaned the garage for Jason.

Here's a few things Ive been making. You should see my house - what a disaster!!

Wax dipped salt dough icicles (I have another batch waiting to be dipped in wax and I'm planning on adding mica so they are glittery)









Let It Snow Garland




Bowl Fillers




Star door greeter ( I still have to add some greenery and berries)







AND my Santa, I'm so proud of how he turned out. I don't have wool and wouldn't
know the first thing about where to get it or how to use it so I used what I had. This was my first pinch stitch and a BIG thanks to Shari who gave me a little tut on how to do it. Not sure if it is the RIGHT way or not but it kinda looks like it is:)




THIS IS ALSO MY 100th POST!!
I cant believe it!!

Check back as I have a giveaway planned:)

I just wanted to say thank you for your sweet words you left me on my blog! I love helping you! What are friends for! :) Can't believe you lived in Phoenix! I live about 3 hours north. Look it up. Just go north on I-17 to Cordes Jct. then take 69 to Prescott, and then north on 89 to Ash Fork. All there is to it!!

I just can't believe how much you've gotten finished...and how fast you got the hang of that sewing machine!
Those icicles are so funky...I love them...and the garland, and Santa.

Hi Jen i just love how your snowman turned out.Its been cold and windy today but for the past few days its been raining a lot so the dogs and cats have all had muddy paws so lots of mopping up,I went into town today to visit the only decent shop that sells prim goodies for christmas and of course i bought a rusty christmas tree , i will post pictures later.Take care~Kate~

Linda ★ Parker's General said...

I love your header. I love prims and I just can't seem to get thte hang of it. I have an eclectic collection of antique, prim, really used and some new stuff.
I really love your bowl fillers....
Perhaps a tutorial is in order?

Hi Jenn,

Wow missy you sure have been busy! I love everything that you have made, but I must admit that Santa is a real keeper:) If you want to sell him, I want to buy him!

Congratulations on your 100th post. Mine is coming up soon too, and I am trying to get all of my swaps organized, and my list of needfuls ready for some serious craft time in the next few weeks. Of course then there will be christmas baking and decorating, and friends, family, and hockey. Too much to do, and not enough energy, although I do love it! I have already got a good start on your swap that you are running! It is so easy to buy or make for someone that basically has the same tastes as oneself...its just knowing when to stop!

Have a great day Jenn,
Wooly hugs,
Trudy
