My
house is starting to look like Santa's workshop. I don't mind one
little bit but the dog is annoyed. He's a bit neurotic and doesn't like
things to be placed in places he likes to lay. Sitting on the floor,
watching the telly while painting toadstools drives him batty. He sits
in front of me and gives me the stink eye until I give him a scratch
behind the ear.
Despite all of the belly rubbing and ear scratching, I have managed to get quite a bit done. A small batch of cheeky snowballs are complete with lots on the way. I've put a listing up in the etsy shop for those who would like to pre-order a set of 4. $65 for a set of 4 handmade 3" ornaments. Single balls will be listed (after pre-orders have been filled) at $19.50 each.
I've also made a batch of bottled Christmas Magic and a set of these adorable Snowy Cottages. New faerie specimens, thimble gardens and little fairy landscapes are in the works too.
I know some people don't like to think about the holidays until such-and-such a date, but as a maker I'm already feeling a little like the white rabbit and checking my watch. The holiday spirit stirring already and I'm sure that by December I'll actually turn into a proper Christmas elf.
