There are still so many that I have not photographed to share.  Here is one that I posted a "how to" on my S.C.R.A.P. blog:

And even more that I have made:


Strawberries made with felt, thread, ribbon and clear beads.

Gingerbread cookie ornament made from cut pieces of craft foam and embellished with textured paints and permanent marker.

Made from shrinky dink plastic (can also be made from stencil plastic, and embellished with plastic beads and textured paints.  I made several shapes with this idea.

Strawberries made with thread and stacked beads.

Made from a metal frozen juice can lid, and painted with acrylic paints.  It is glued to a wooden popsicle stick and wrapped in plastic to look like a lollipop.

Made by wrapping a styrofoam ball with scrap yarn, and the needles are made from thin wooden doll rods and wooden beads.

Do you remember where you got the pattern for the Plastic Canvas Santa Money Holder?
Joanne, I'll look in my and see where I got it. I just have to go help with barn chores and bottle feed a few goats first. I will check for you and get back with you.
Joanne said…
Awww feeding the baby goats must be fun. Thank you I appreciate it.
Joanne, the goats are a lot of fun. I found my original ornament, and the reason I don't have a printed pattern resource, is that I made it myself. I'll be working up a post to show how I made it. Hopefully I can find a way to make easy instructions.

Oh cool I look forward to seeing your instructions for it.

Thanks

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
