christmas project ideas

Crows are definitely Christmasy!  The stitched crow was heavily featured in my 2023 holiday decor- it’s one of my all time favorites.

hand painted brown paper and tags and ornament extras

diy painted gift wrap

I love a sweet package and painted brown paper and bakers twine is my all time favorite gift wrap. There are so many possibilities for a little stitched extra on top to finish it off. Some favorites are : woebegone pines, stitched fish, minimalist chickens and little owl ornaments.

The cardinals above are made from the merry wobbler pattern using these modifications.

Just wax paper and a few craft supplies make these “crystal” snowflake ornaments. The result is truly magical.

The mini size from the mushroom pattern makes a perfect ornament or gift.  It’s available as a downloadable pdf or a booklet.

  1. In years past I’ve made ornaments from Mr. Socks (portraits of family cats), the owl, the stars, and many mice. Everyone has loved them.
    I’m a quilter and make little crazy quilted stars out of scraps and leftover backing and batting from other projects.
    I’m thinking about dressing Miss Thistle as an angel and using her on the tree this year.
    Your creativity is a bright spot for us.
