Holly Jolly Decorating!

I really have a deep love for all my deer. I can't wait every Christmas to take them out and this year I have been lucky enough to receive three red velvet ones as a gift. Oh happy days!

Since I have been collecting vintage christmas ornaments they have really thinned out in the Thrift Stores. I did find a trio of these sweet pine cone and pipe cleaner elves on ski's. I love them!

I did not hang my very old real glass ornaments as the kids did the hanging this year. And believe me it is a work in progress. For me liking things a certain way, it is a bit of a challenge but so far we have only broken two ornaments!

And here is my little girl in front of our tree. I took this photo just after she received these dress up pieces from her teacher as a gift!

Sowa Holiday market

So, tired achy but very happy is how I feel this morning.
The Sowa holiday market was great! I was lucky to be next to great crafters and that always make it so much fun.

The market was really well run and very well attended.
Thanks to everyone that came to visit.
The space was really tight and it did take me a while before I could figure out how to use the 7x7 space, but in the end it all worked out really well.
Here are some photos of the space.

SOWA holiday market

It has been so crazy around here. I hope I am ready for this two day event this weekend.
If you are in the Boston area , please come and say hi.
SOWA is always a great show to visit. There will be a lot of vendors with lovely handmade goodies to sell.

I have made a lot of new pieces and have not even had time to photograph any of them! You will have to come visit me at the show!

Wish me luck!

I am so happy with this new screen I managed to convert into display space.
Check back later for before and after!

Hope to see all of you local to Boston readers in Jamaica Plain today for a Craft Fair at the First Church from 11-5. Music, good food and lots of talented vendors.

Buy local, buy handmade!

Chaos in the studio

This time of year I am surrounded by quite a big of chaos!

 I m getting ready for a show this saturday and I find myself stepping over piles, or rather groups of work that is half done, almost ready to pack and boxes already packed and ready to go. How is it that towards the end my table is so full that I have to work on the floor?

Look at all those scraps on the floor....a BIG cleanup is in order!( for house and studio)
