Day 12 - Vintage Santa Tart Tin Ornaments

Do you believe in Santa? I do! And I adore that jolly old fellow.


A couple of holiday ornaments today, featuring my favourite beardy guy.


(Don't tell Mr. Pixie I said that!)

Day 11 - Tiny Gnomish Lucky Charm Shrines

I'm rather pleased with myself... which usually spells trouble.

But as these little things are meant for luck, hopefully I can avoid trouble just this once.

I have noticed that many vintage greeting and post cards that feature red capped toadstools also show off good luck charms like four leafed clovers and horseshoes.

What better use of these little Turrets than to turn them into the tiniest luck shrines?!

With the tinest little gnomes added for extra luck I'm sure that I'll (mostly) avoid trouble from now on.

Day 10 - Vintage Image Shaker Ornaments

This month the Alpha Stamps is offering Round Layered Ornaments Kits. They are pretty dang cute. I've actually done two* versions of these (you'll see the second batch next week). 

*Maybe even three if I get my act together.

But on to the ones that I've actually finished and am ready to show off today!


Pretty cute, no?! If you had told me a few years ago I'd be all about the glittery pipe cleaners (and yes, they will forever be pipe cleaners to me) I would have told you, you were nuts... but here we are all glittery and pipecleanerish!


Not only do these sweeties shake and make a lovely noise, are two sided to boot!





I'm smitten!

And here's all the goodies to make your own...

Day 9 - A Winter Cottage

Look at the glistening snow! Aww, it's all melted now, but I've got all my fingers and toes crossed that it will return soon and that we'll have a proper white Christmas this year.


This itty bitty was made (mostly) with the  Chipboard House Ornament Kit from last month.


The house itself measures just 2-3/4" tall, 2-1/2". It's itty!


My favourite part of this little doodad is the tuft of raw wool smoke coming out of the chimney. Can't you just smell the wood fire?!



Hope you're dandy. Big love to you.
