Christmas Tree Ornies


Today I decided to try my hand at making some Christmas inspired ornies for my upcoming craft show. Ornies are something that you hang as an ornament or use in a bowl as a filler. I have made some hearts and chickies before but this was my first try at making a tree.

I started my project with some stained gingham green fabric, cinnamon sticks, stained cheese cloth, and some rusted hardware. I used my own pattern. The fabric used to make the tree is stained with my own recipe of coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon. I took some cinnamon sticks my mom had and cut them in half and used them as the tree trunk. I made some stamped tags and added some holly and a rusted bell and heart.



I think they came out really cute. They will be available at my craft show at the first of December.

I hope everyone is having a great afternoon.

Changing of the Seasons

I have been working on this prim all week and I think she turned out great. I just love her and she smells so sweet.

Her name is Opal and she arrived just in time for the season change. She is made with stained,(coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon) muslin fabric and harvest fabric. Her hair is in kooky pigtails and made with chenille yarn. Her face is completely hand stitched.
