ornaments, wrapping papers, and fabric houses....

did you have a wonderful Thanksgiving?....ours was pretty relaxed. our college kids came home and because of the weather, it was just our family for the holiday. we were just thankful that they had made it home safely and that we could all hang out again for a bit.

on saturday i found some studio time to keep getting organized for the upcoming holiday....Christmas! i have new items in my etsy store just in time for the holiday.

check these out.....

love the mix of colors and the gold with everything....

and i have a good handful listed in my etsy store if you are looking for something special. and now for the wrapping papers....

above is a close up of one of the papers- i made the homemade wrapping paper in a variety of colors.

any package wrapped in this homemade wrapping paper is sure to stand out.

and last, but, not least are my fabric/ textile houses....listed 3 for you to chose from.

these fabric houses are just fun and quirky and a good mixtures of new and vintage, and machine sewn and hand stitching.

the houses all have matching sides

want to stop by my store and look around now?.....my store can be found here.

ssssssshhhhhh.......

i am going to share something i made for my sweetie for Christmas but no telling him before hand....

i used some of my hand painted/ dyed fabric and painted our initials on; cut out the squares and stitched together. i also used a stamp from Rae Missigman's new stamp set to stamp the blue flower on top.

i love the pinstriped linen fabric ruffle...and of course the black n white polka dot fabric on the back.

i did some hand stitching to secure the lace doily into place after machine stitching the edges. i also added a few cute, vintage buttons for some additional details and contrasting texture.

to finish it off i had stuffed it and hand stitched the corner with pink thread. i decided to hand stitch all along the bottom to give a smoother edge and finish to my pillow.

5 more days to Christmas......
