Every Christmas, at least at my house, is a handmade holiday in some way. I'm always trying a new cookie recipe or making a new wreath for the front door or, my favorite, crafting up some gifts for my loved ones. I get a great deal of personal satisfaction out of creating and crafting a beautiful home for the holidays.
This year is our second holday season in our little house. Last year I made a lot of ornaments and decorations on a less than shoestring budget. This year, I've gotten a bit craftier and tried out some new ideas and added some twists to some not so new ideas.
I went a little crazy, I admit. There are now enough ribbon pine cones in this house to decorate two or three trees. I've put a few of the best ones up for sale here and on Etsy. The pictures simply do not do these ornaments justice.
Over the next few days, I plan to add some more ornaments among other things to this studio. I hope you'll check back and see what I have to offer.
