Peppermint and Gingerbread

It was a peppermint and gingerbread Christmas again this year.  I find myself putting less and less decorations out every year as you just have to put them all away in a few weeks, right?  The peppermint towel hanging on my stove is from Cracker Barrel.  I'm into more peppermint decor now than gingerbread.  The red and white is so cheerful.

My daughter and I played around with making peppermint candy beads with polymer clay a few days ago.  Need a lot more practice.  As she said, "trial and error".

Happy New Year to all!

Little Stitchery Pictures

I made up some little stitchery pictures for last minute gifts for a few of my crafty friends.  I found the frames at ACMoore.  Now I have all kinds of ideas swirling in my head for spring!

Wishing everyone a warm, cozy blessed Christmas Eve.

Last Craft Show for 2011

A few pictures of my "creations" before the show started.  I made the black and white polka dot displays by covering cork boards with fabric.  Again, most of my pincushions sold from the mice to the cupcakes.  And I sold out of my hand painted snowman pendants and snowman earrings.  I was pleased with my sales and after a little break will be making items for spring.

I still have to finish up some Christmas shopping and looking forward to our daughter's arrival Thursday.  We have a busy time planned with family.  Can't believe yet another year is almost over.

Wishing a happy, healthy Christmas and New Year to all.
Hugs,

Drapery Rings Ornaments

I have a whole box of drapery rings that aren't in use anymore when I changed out my drapes.  I was asked to make and donate a few ornaments for my upcoming craft show this weekend.  This is what I came up with.

Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Busy, busy, busy

It's getting down to the wire for my last craft show.  Thought I could at least show a few things that have been keeping me busy for weeks.  I see a few of  you actually look at my blog, I think. LOL  So I should really keep up.  I do keep up with all of you.  I love all your creative ideas.

Plus, I have company coming today for Thanksgiving.  Fortunately we'll be Giving Thanks at my older daughter's house so that's one less thing for me to stress about.

Hugs,
Karen
