Little woven heart ornaments


I've been enjoying making these little paper ornaments from cardstock with a variety of Christmas motifs. Each one is a unique combination of colors and designs. They are a cheery sight during these cloudy November days in Vermont and a nice reminder of the holidays ahead! I've just added them to my etsy shop today.

God's Eye Tree Ornaments



God's Eyes are perfect for tree ornaments. They are quick and easy to make. Using up my fabric scraps and twigs of gray birch and red osier dogwood is so satisfying. After bringing home an assortment of beads, I can make the eyes come alive. Check back for more pictures, this is just the beginning.

Sock Monkeys

These are the four sock monkeys I made. My sister is crocheting afghans for her grandchildren and wanted a sock monkey to match each one. My great nieces and nephews will find them under their Christmas tree this year.

Folkart Star Gift Cards

I thought I'd share a photo of the new set of cards I've recently added to my etsy site. They are approximately 3x3 inches and come in a set of 6 with matching envelopes. I'm also thinking of making some with a punched hole in the corner and tied with hemp twine to be used as a gift tag. These would come w/o envelopes and perhaps have 10 tags per set. I can just imagine one tied to a jar of homemade jam, etc...!
