Pinteresting....

 

Like most of you, I've spent  hours on

Pinterest "pinning" projects I would

make one day.  The Christmas spirit hit

so I decided to mark a few off the

list over the last few weeks.

Burlap...

could anything be any hotter right now? 

 

I had some burlap and decided to repurpose

some Christmas pillows from years past. 

 

Simple trees with simple adornments.

 

After seeing Vonna's ornament, I knew

a poinsettia would be perfect.

 

The little ones were perfect for

simple sentiments.

Corn starch ornaments...

 

I had made salt dough ornaments years ago

but loved the brightness of the corn

starch ornaments so gave them a try. 

 

I used some of my embossing folders to

make the imprints.   Perfect!  

Although these are very fragile compared

to the salt dough ornaments,  I will

definitely make these again.

 

My favorite.... my Palmetto Moon & Tree.   

These will be the perfect adornment for my gifts.

Christmas tree snow globes....

 

I bought trees last year after Christmas and

thought these would great tucked in

little spots around the house.

 

Epsom salts for the snow....

Rosemary greenery....

with the jute twine these

simple little trees are perfect.

 

Cute....cute....cute!

For once I was happy with all that

I made and can't wait to do

some crafting for winter!

I have been stitching and am off to get

some finishing in tonight.  Our Christmas

festivities begin tomorrow so I will

make the most of a quiet night.

 

As always, thanks for visiting and

happy stitching...
