MEET BAUBLES AND BLINGSTER

December 16, 2016

Ha! I bet you didn’t know that Santa had two other reindeer….. Baubles and Blingster. I’m somewhat late with decorating for Christmas this year, but fashionably late, don’t you think?

Here’s a glimpse of some other little curiosities I’ve placed about.

I think a vintage glass doorknob makes for a great bauble.

I made this angel last year. Actually, I made three, sold two and kept this one for myself. The faceless cherub….. Isn’t she sweet?

This is my little candle and tree forest. I love candles; however, I’m “one of those”, in that I usually don’t light my candles because I want to preserve their “newness”. I’ve christened two of them; that’s a pretty good track record for me. Silly.

And, finally, a trio of “cement” ornaments I made. These will be shipped to a friend. Check out my tutorial if you’d like to make some, yourself.

Our local weather forecast is calling for a rainy weekend, which will be perfect for cozy indoor activities like baking cookies and wrapping gifts.

Stay tuned…… I hope to squeak out another post before Christmas.

HE SEES DEAD PEOPLE.

November 20, 2015

So, the little boy sees dead people…….. big deal. I see repurposed people, and this little angelic one came into my vision while staring at some crap in my garage.

She wasn’t borne from a sixth sense, either. No, she was created with some old fan blades, wood from a broken desk drawer, scrap wire, jute twine and last, but not least, a sparkling scouring scrubby.

What kind of people do you see? Stare at some inanimate objects long enough and someone is bound to reveal themselves.

Now, get creative.

ANGEL HAIR(STYLES)

December 10, 2014

I just finished up a custom order of angelic handmade greeting cards. Designing and assembling these cuties was just too much fun to be considered work.

I also transformed a few of my decorative pinecones into hanging ornaments.

The ones pictured above are for a friend. Have you given making these pinecones a try yet? They’re super lovely placed amongst an organic, rustic and natural holiday setting. Plus, they’re so very easy to make.

Click the sidebar pinecone photo and you’ll be taken straight to the tutorial.

Happy holiday crafting!
