Craftiness that Occured in 2011

This post was supposedly scheduled to post automatically on January 1st.  I haven't been logging in over the past little while so I didn't notice that this post didn't happen.  So here it is a week late.



Happy 2012 y'all!



Here are a few of my favorite things that I crafted up in 2011. 

My first original pattern, Miss Hattie the Hedgehog

Gnomey the finger puppet

Dot the daschund

Art for the blank wall behind me sofa "I carry your heat with me (I carry it in my heart)"

Santa Christmas ornament

A jolly guy and his side-kick

Just one of many Christmas cards

Clothespin ballerinas

'staching through the snow ornament(written on reverse)

Sparkly, blue penguin

Peacock feather ornament

Sequined ornament

Cupcake ornament

Monogrammed old Hollywood ornamnent

I am sure there are other things I am forgetting plus home-beautification projects and crafty baking that I didn't include but you get the gist.  It kinda doesn't look like all that much but a lot of these things I made in multiple so it does add up.  Happy crafting in 2012!

Christmas Ornament Exchange~2011

Although it didn't go exactly according to plan I am so excited about the ornament exchange I did with a few friends this year.  Originally the plan was to exchange them at a little gathering at my place but alas, life gets in the way sometimes and plans have to change.  I love, love, love the ornaments I received and it was all I could do to wait until I got them all to share them.  I have such crafty, talented friends:)

My contribution to the exchange!  I have been obsessing over these little darlings for weeks :)

Here are some of the others I've made and am working on:

Some pretty girls waiting to be varnished and attached to their bodies.

Pretty much ready to go, except for the two poor arm-less darlings!

Nothing makes a Christmas tree like homemade ornaments.  I am so happy that mine is chock-full of them!
