I finally finished up the wooden snowmen that have been in process for quite a while. These are made from blanks that I purchased from JoAnn's after Christmas. They are two feet tall and the problem was that there was no way to make them stand and I thought they were too big for a wall hanging. Hubs helped me attach some 2 x 6 scraps and they stand perfectly now.
I only added the second pic because I just want everyone to understand how tough photography is in this house. Either the cat or one of the dogs has to get involved.
I also purchased these wooden stars at the same sale. These I crackled with a barn red under the light buttermilk. The burlap ribbon was something that I found at the dollar store. It is wired so is perfect for these stars.
This is a little pumpkin that I painted. When I finished it, it would not stand. Here is my trick: I squirted just a little hot glue on the front piece that was just a bit shorted than the back. Once dry, it gives it just enough stability.
I bought this wooden horse at the thrift store. I simply added a floral foam block and the greenery. Put on a ribbon and he is all set for your holiday table or sideboard. I love this guy!
I also got this pumpkin at the same store. I added moss, leaves, and a pretty fall ribbon and it is perfect.
Yesterday I had lunch with my good friend, Dawn. She gave me the best birthday gift:
The jars are full of goodies for crafting. I just love it!
Well, I am off to photograph some listings for my Etsy shop. Hopefully, I will get them listed tomorrow. I have several dolls and some craft supplies. You can check out my listings tomorrow.
Does anyone have experience with PatternMart? I am considering placing my patterns on their site. Let me know if you have any input. Happy crafting!
Great finishes!! I love those snowmen. I also love your birthday gift, how thoughtful! Happy birthday!
