It Is Almost Christmas....

I have been neglecting my blog, and for that I am sorry.  This time of year always affects my mood in a negative way and this year has been no different.  I do the same thing every year - plan on getting all of my projects out of the way by Thanksgiving so that I can have the month of December to enjoy with my family.  This year was no different except that life got in the way and I have not been able to accomplish the majority of the things on my list.  So now my goal is to work on projects through the next few weeks in preparation for next year.  With any luck, I will make it all come to pass.

I thought I would show a few pictures of the ornaments I have made over the last seven years.  Each one was made with love and a lot of mistakes were made along the way.

Wool Felt Ornament

Salt Dough Ornament

Paper Doilie Angel

made from Angel found at flea market

My favorite to date is the doilie angel because it was the first one made for our tree and it was made with the help of my mother.  Amazing that every single one has held up this long considering the only thing holding them together is hot glue.  The button wreaths tried my patience - the wool felt ornaments drew a lot of blood - and the stars (which are this years addition) were quick and easy.  I have one more to make and I will show pictures of the completed tree once they are done.  Thanks for dropping by.  It is greatly appreciated!
