Is it possible that there are only 38 days until Christmas? So here’s a new appliqué design for the holidays, now available in my Etsy shop. You might notice that this is my deer design with antlers! I hope to get a snowflake embroidery design up later this week. I’ve also updated the holiday craft links in my sidebar and added a button for the handmade toys page. Both new buttons designed by my almost-six-year-old.
I made these little house ornaments the other night. I used the template from Orange Flower, but ended up changing the shape a bit as I made more. Still don’t have one that’s just right. So I’ll be making more! I think they would be nice in all white too. There are lots of house ornaments available on Etsy too (see yesterday’s post).

The weather is getting colder and I realized that the girls don’t have a lot of warm clothes. So this morning I bought a simple sweater dress from Target, but wanted to give it something extra. I cut up some wool felted sweaters and made flowers. Has anyone noticed my penchant for red and blue? I think I’m getting predictable.
Glittery acorn garland made by brushing some glue on the bottom of the acorn and dipping in glitter. I used that wonderful tiny glitter from Martha Stewart. The three-year-old very much enjoyed helping with this project, as she adores all things sparkly. This is sort of a fall to winter holiday decoration, but I suppose it will need to be tossed as the acorns start to rot? We’ll see.
An acorn picture frame. Or maybe with a ribbon it will be a rectangular wreath? It’s just some acorn tops glued to a wooden frame. I was inspired by a project from the lovely French magazine Marie Claire Idées, but they used a wider oval shaped frame which allowed several neat rows of acorn tops.
