Still planning on Crafternoon IV this Saturday to make Christmas ornaments, but I do not have much interesting to show in the way of party prep. Aside from the cute chenille creatures, we are going to make the salt dough cookies frosted with glue that are featured in this month's Martha Stewart's Living magazine. I was going to add a link but I could not find them on her site. I also haven't made the cookies yet and just realized they need to cook at a low heat for 4-6 hours. The Martha has a very wicked sense of humor. I will do them tomorrow after work. The ornaments will be shaped like woodland creatures: moose, bear, fox, squirrel, hedgehog, and snail. I do not have much to show for Crafternoon so I will show you some of the things I have done to make the house merry and bright. We made this wreath for Cicely's door with a styrofoam wreath mold, yarn, and some swell felted balls I got at Anthropologie. You can find felted balls at most sewing stores.
The Pickel tree full of woodland creatures and mushrooms. What says Christmas like fungus, I ask you? I wrapped the photos on the walls like gifts. The golden decorations on the wrapping are all done with glitter. I have been finding glitter in every conceivable place for the last few days. Next time I will choose a simple non-adorned wrap.
