New Holiday Goodies


Slowly but surely things are starting to get finished, photographed, tagged and in the shops! One of the first things is a new design for the holiday season. When wrapping a Christmas present, I usually tie one of my ornaments on for added cheer - I came up with the idea this year of making the ornaments look like actual gift tags, so it's a tag/ornament/present-topper combo. Perfect! They are in the shops here and here.


There is so much to do and finish but the BIG news is something that I have been working on for a couple of weeks and that is hosting my very own art and craft show for Christmas. The idea came to me late one night a couple of weeks ago and it has sorta "snowballed" (get it!?) ever since. So, for anyone out in Blog Land that happens to live in or around this little town in Western PA, you are cordially invited to . . .

Two Months Later . . .

Well, I am fairly certain that I have indeed been nesting under a rock for the past couple of months. Yes, it really has been two months. I am not sure what happened from then until now. Just lots of to-dos to do. It had been so long since I uploaded pictures onto my computer, that for a split second, I almost forgot how!!! Anyway, even though the computer-y, blogging type work has been at a very minimum, the sewing, crafting work has been very much happening - can you tell from this crummy tinted photo what I have been busy with?



Let's see . . . we have green felt, red french knots, tiny candy canes and red pom poms! That's right, lots of Christmas sewing! In fact, I have posted my first couple of Christmas items in the shops. To start with - a little snowman, and these guys.


I hope you all have been having a wonderful fall and I will leave you with a picture from my parent's farm - beautiful!
