I've been busy...

16 years ago

since I have already decorated my sister asked that I make another Santa for her since hers is about 10 years old. I have been making these for about that long. His fur is from an old mink coat, his beard is mohair from a ranch in California, his belt is one of my older ones when I was smaller - cut down to fit, the fabric is a red and gold brocade, and I painted his face. I still have one to make for myself. I never get to keep one for myself but I am determined this time to do so. The snowman is for my grandaughter's 2nd grade teacher.

Love your tidy, organized studio and the work you produce in it too, beautiful stuff. I am working towards getting more organized in my craft area in the basement. DH gonna install a mud sink for me soon, it's got most everything else I could need. ~tenderlee

Took all of my "stuff" today. What a good feeling, it is going to women who have nothing. I will again soon go through closets, etc. and take more things to them. Every time I go into either bedroom it amazes me that all I did was rearrange from room to room and took pictures down. Oh and of course window treatments are gone and I like the windows as is. Tomorrow the bedding will be washed and changed out for what I've got in the house. Total expense - 1 light bulb I broke taking a lamp shade off!

Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Maybe she could use another day or two to clean house for neighbors (for more money, of course).

Rhizo, those are really cute and festive. I'm sure they will be well received. OT - I'm not a cookie maker - give me a pie or other dessert assignment and I'll happily oblige - but for some reason I've never enjoyed making cookies much. I did do some cutout cookies to decorate for my niece and nephew a couple of times though, and was feeling pretty proud of myself - I'd outlined (squeeze bottle, not frosting bag), then flooded with royal icing, had them looking pretty darned good if I can say that ;-) The next time they were coming, nephew asked, Auntie M, can we have a different kind of cookie this time? Why, honey? The frosting on those tastes like egg whites to me!

Jenn, Your Santa and snowman are so cute. I love all of the little details you included on the Santa. I hope you get to make a Santa for yourself this year. His eyes are just glowing.
