13 Days of Christmas - Day 9

Day 9 is Christine Lush-Rodriguez

I so want to buy one of her Barnacle Bowls! I wish that pottery was easier to mail :)

Anyway... this is what she made for Christmas!

This was hard to photograph -- but you can tell that it is a snow globe on a snowflake. The kids loved it -- I'm surprised that it survived the "pass around the room". They loved shaking it.

Someone also tried to take this one home with them.....

Day 7 is Janet Moss. Janet doesn't have a blog :(

I love this wrapping! The colours are very "me".

Janet used a vintage quilt to create this mitten -- the quilt dates from the American Civil War. Wow! Again -- Janet was very generous to share her stash :) Thank you so much.

Day 6 is Barbara Posey -- she doesn't have a blog -- but you can see her work on the Artful Dimensions Gallery Facebook Page! 

 

Barbara is a talented needle felter -- this photo doesn't do her work justice.

Day 5 is Leslie Brier!
I wish that I lived closer to Leslie -- I'd buy everything that she makes -- these Knife Rocket Pendants are so fun!

 

Leslie made these awesome button trees -- and it has a cardinal on it (the kids still think that I must have missed the memo).  (Click on this photo to see it larger -- so pretty)

I have a hard time parting with my mother of pearl buttons -- thank you Leslie for being so generous. This will have a place of honour with my tree collection :) I will have a hard time putting it away at the end of the season.

13) Days of Christmas - Day 6

Day 6 is me!


This is my gift all wrapped up. I recycled a bird seed sack and cut it into small pieces, sewed them into small pouches and then stamped a 6 on each one. then I punched some holes in then and tied them up with yarn. I love white and red. So pretty......

I made some decoupaged glass ornaments. First I made collages and then I decoupaged them on to the backs of glass hearts.


Then I collaged the backs. SO one side is under glass and one side isn't.


I'm sure that everyone expected a stitched ornament (or gift) from me this year. I hope that I didn't disappoint anyone! I really wanted to try these :)
