Christmas crafts I made


This is a snowman made from yarn. I made his top hat and decorated it. He has sticks for his arms and a fur scarf.


I also started making snow globs. They are fun to make.


I made these snowman hats out of black felt. Really like how they turned out. I added music paper ribbon to this hat, added a flower some balls and some vintage looking tinsel.


This hat is made out of a coffee can, with lace and red flower and ribbon and a tag that I made.

Altered Halloween box


The top of the box. Has a skeleton hand, a key and some different sayings on it. Then you open the lid and this is what you see. In the next picture.


On the lid is all kind of spooky things, a bat, spiders,even a locust that had died.


Then in the bottom, is more spooky things. A skeleton and a bottle that says deadly. Birds that are picking at the skeleton. So that is my Halloween box.

Tussie Mussie


This is the latest Halloween cone I did. I am getting ready for a craft show.


And this one is a shabby chic. I used all different pieces of lace, so it is very shabby.

Snowman hats I made


This is the first snowman hat I made. I used music paper and silver tinsel trim, added some greens and berries. An then I glittered it.


The next one I did with french script paper. I made it more shabby. Added a lace flower and some berries and greens. Also a santa picture and a clock face.

I did this one with scrapbook paper with a snow flake design. Added snow flakes white berries and a charm with a deer on it. Also had a snow flake garland that I used.

I also did this in music paper. The big note was gold, and I painted it black and glittered it. I added a vintage rose, that I bought at a thrift store. It was a candle ring that I cut apart.

Witch Hat


I am not into witches, but I did make this hat. I painted a glass candle holder black and glittered it with black glitter, to put the hat on. I added feathers and other embellishments.

In my garden


I had so much Tansy this year, so I picked two big bunches and put one in this enamelware pitcher and the next picture shows the other bunch.


This is the other bunch in the old watering can. One is on the porch, the other is on the patio.


This beautiful yellow swallowtail was on the Joe-pye weed. Or the milkweed as some call it.


I know, I took more pictures of the Queen Ann's Lace. I really like this flower. 


This is the firecracker sunflower, with the bee on it. This is a beautiful sunflower. 

The black eyed susan's did well this year. I don't have a lot of them. Hope you enjoyed the garden.

Altered Frame


This is my second frame I altered, not to bad. Now I must find some more frames at the thrift stores.
