New Cuckoo Clock Pin

 I'm so excited about my new cuckoo clock pin!

I used brown gingham, ric rac and lace!

I added a stag head for alpine flavor,

and hearts.

I think it would be adorable for Valentine's Day,

or any time!

Find it in my Etsy shop!

bye for now!

Hearts and Lace

 I brought out the hearts I crocheted last year,

and made a little garland out of them.

They look so pretty next to some lace!

 And I am playing around with an 

arrow bowtie I designed.

I love how it turned out,

but I would like the tails to hang 

without curling, so I'm not done with it yet. 

 Bye for now!

Bunny Love

 Here are some pix of one of our bunnies,

he's just so adorable!

Bye for now!

The Fox and the Deer

 Let me show you my two new pins,

a gingham fox

and a gingham heart with a deer.

I love this brown gingham fabric!

Wouldn't these be fun Valentine's Day gifts?

Find them both in my Etsy shop!

 I've also been experimenting with different

heart crochet patterns, 

what fun!

Jam Jar Candle Holder DIY

 My hubby is a Bonne Mamon Jamaholic,

so I always have at least a couple of these cute jars around.

So I thought I'd make one into a sweet little candle holder.

With Valentines Day coming
I thought of using lace to dress it up.

 This is a super simple craft

and all you need is:

jam jar

glue

brush

lace

votive candle

 Cut your lace to fit around the jar,

I ended up using a narrower lace,

as it fit better.

Dilute you glue with a little water 

to make it spread easier and decoupage

the lace onto the jar.

 

 Then just add you votive!

I used a battery operated votive

I found in Target's dollar section

because I wanted to use it as a night light.

 Plus, with the fake votive you can put the lid on too!

Bye for now!

and still dancing! 

Bye for now!

Winter Beauty

 The new year is starting our very cold!

But there is still so much beauty to behold.

The bunny looks especially pretty in the glow of sunset.

And speaking of sunsets.....

Bye for now!

To all my family and friends! 

Bye till next year!

Thrifted Felt

 I haven't done much thrifting lately,

but because there are often vintage Christmas

craft kits this time of year, 

I have found some really great felt!

Bye for now!

Christmas 2013

 We had such a lovely little Christmas here, 

peaceful and happy!

 Sabrina got some great presents, 

like this cute hat from Grandma and Grandpa,

and this bracelet I crocheted her.

 And she got a camera from the Grandparents too!

I got a lovely coat that I'm sure

will be featured in a future outfit post

and some yummy scented Bath and Body from 

my girl.

We watched the movie Elf and 

munched on Christmas treats! 

What could be better!

Bye for now!
