Santa Boot breakage

While trying not to buy more Christmas decor, I'm often fixing things that break. Here are some resin santa boots, which I love and just couldn't give them up. What a bummer, so sad. Boo hoo hoo. Gluing back what would stay, then used some spackle to fill in the rest. Sanded and painted. Ho,…

A loooooong stocking

Bought this vintage sock blocker at a local thrift store for next to nothing and knew it would need (at least) one sock made for it. It's enormous. Haha, love it. Sanded, cleaned and applied some Cargen beeswax to add moisture to this dry wood and get some color. Made up a heel of sorts…

Wine Bottle Sweaters

Been locked up for so long, started knitting for my booze! The pattern is the Wine Bottle Sweater by Karla Lockwood. The hats were made by casting on the neck count and just going from there. These are a fun project and people really enjoyed receiving them! Putting this one away for next fall While…

Cross stitched stocking

This 35+ yr cross stitched piece was found in an old tub of fabric and it was time to do something nicer with it. The new blue fabric is a woven upholstery fabric and it looks much nicer, right? Merry Christmas!

A Quieter Christmas

No guests. No potlucks. No parties. Hoping the new year brings new hope for better things in 2021. We'll sure miss those we've lost and have a new appreciation for what we used to have. Merry everything! Here's a little christmas decor from around our house... An 80s cookie jar from eBay. Score! The festive…

Grinches for Christmas

Painted recycled lightbulbs collected from years at our old home, and now this one, make great ornaments. These Grinch ones are fun to paint. The idea was on Pinterest years ago. People love to receive them and I can't think of a more appropriate mascot for 2020. Painting and hot gluing out in the shed.…

Tiny Christmas Ornament

It's easier for me to commit to printing, painting and some minis than knitting right now with all my aches and pains, so this is a Christmas ornament for a friend. She received it today, so I can post a photo. It's just a painted cabinet from a craft store and I printed some tiny…

Instead of a card…

For co-workers, neighbors and friends. A little something more than a card. Hope you're having fun getting ready for Christmas, too. 🙂

A Christmas Poem for Knitters

I'm not a poet, but I just wanted to share my poem. I think it sums up that rush for the finish we all seem to share this time of year. ---------------------------------- It's Christmas time again and thus, the knitters all begin to cuss. Bake the cookies and the cakes! Cut out some paper snowflakes!…
