Winter Wood Crafts

I love wood crafts and tole painting. I just wanted to show you some of the winter wood crafts that I have hanging around my house. These cute little guys are hanging out on my front porch. I have a rod iron in my family room with these fun little guys hanging from it. These little guys are on my buffet table.
Some are old and some are new, but they are all hand crafted by me!

Monday Discovery: Frosty Day

It is an awesome thing to support hand-crafters that sell their stuff on http://www.etsy.com/ and other such sites (usually their own), so today I wanted to post pictures to some great hand-crafted items I 'discovered' today (with links to the seller and using 'frost' as a tag search).

Hopefully, the creators of these products won't begrudge my using their photos and will view this as free advertising!

My Small Gift Gallery

First of all, my friend Rachel has a fun button obsession so I thought I'd make her a button covered Christmas tree. (Thank you, Mom, for the helpful suggetions and to Grandma for the antique and semi-antique buttons). I can tell she liked it. It's the first thing you see walking into her home.
I used Angie's Knifty-Knitter looms by Provo Craft to make my kids warm hats to match their Christmas coats. I made this...for myself! My second ever attempt at fake floral arranging. I couldn't have done it without your suggestions, Angie!

Christmas Crafts

Here are the Christmas craft gifts that I made. I made this Coke apron for my Sister-in-law, Sydney who has a Coke kitchen. Cami helped me make this necklace and earrings for my beautiful niece, Natisha.
I don't usually make Christmas gifts, but this was really fun!
