Christmas at our place...

Here are a few pics I snapped of some of my favorite christmas ornament, and the tree, who doesn't love putting up the Christmas Tree!

I love Heartwood Creek figurines, here are a few of my Christmas ones

Nativity star

My very tall snowman - I love this guy!!

Here is my favorite of all my Christmas decorations, my Nativity scene. I can't wait to get this out every year! This tells the story of what Christmas is really all about, the birth of our Saviour!

Our tree...

I have two of these little sparkly snowman decorations, they are so cute!
The other day I made each of my family members a little embroidered name decorations, not sure if they are any good or not, they are a little large and seeing that there are so many of us, kind of take over a bit but I will leave them on for this year!

Each one has a name, a snowflake and little swarovski's sewn onto them.. just to make them sparkle!

And of course more Heartwood Creek, this is from a set of the three wise men...

and another wise man!

My sister Sue brought me this little fella back from Holland, I really love delft and of course, snowmen :)!

our little angel tree topper..


I also collect Henry's, I love them!

As I said yesterday, I need more lights up and some new garland to replace the water damaged stuff, but above all that, some more hours in a day would be great ;)!

Back tonight with some giveaway info!!

Where has the time gone??!!....

Aaaww, I am so sorry for my absence, I have been buried in my studio under a giant pile of Jingle Sox! Please forgive me for the major lack of communication, I feel like this past seven weeks have been one big blur! Don't get me wrong, I have just loved designing and making things for my wonderful customers (they really, truly are wonderful you know!!) but I am embarrassed to say that I have totally neglected everything else in my life (it's a good thing I have such an understanding husband!, love you babe!!...) well, except for my grandson, I didn't neglect him.... I can't go a day without seeing and snuggling him or I will just curl up and die :)!!!

Here is just a portion of what I have been doing for the past few weeks....













A gorgeous summer outfit for a gorgeous little girl in Sydney named Fliss!!

Aahh!! I didn't make these but boy would I love a pair of them :)
Yeahhh ~ JINGLE BOOTS !!

And I definately didn't make this perfect creation ....but one of my lovely customers in America did!
Great job Melissa!
This little lady is Molly, isn't she divine! Don't you just want to snuggle her?... I do!!
Welcome to the world Molly and have the most wonderful 1st Christmas ever!!

And here are another two perfect little angels playing with their Jingle Sox! Oooh, they are so adorable I just want to snuggle them too!

All these gorgeous babies are too far away from me in America, sometimes it sucks being at the bottom of the world

I remember when my kids were that young *sniff, sniff *

Alora and I took a day to decorate the tree, and put up the Christmas ornaments.. I need to get some pretty new garlands though because the shed leaked and one of my boxes of stuff got completely destroyed by water damage - hate when that happens! The worst part about it was that our Christmas stocking hangers were in the same box and as the bottom part with the hanging hook is made of metal they went rusty aaarrrggg! I was doing my 'narna at darling hubby yelling.. 'why would they make them out of metal, that's just stupid, why don't they just make them out of ceramic or whatever the rest of the thing is made out of!!!? " He calmly told me that it is because they need to be heavy to hold up the stockings. ....hrmmmph.. I 'm going back to my cave now :)

Will be back tomorrow with some pics of the decorations..

But I will leave you with one pic of my perfect little Grand-bug, he is into pulling these weird faces at the moment and the other day I captured one perfectly! He looks like he is looking at the guy in front of us thinking, "Who's that idiot?!

Hugs to you all!
Jen

PS - will be back with more details of my giveaway tomorrow also!

Happy (and adorable) customer!

Customer photos...

I got this photo from the lovely Amy from Giggleberry Creations of the Jingle Sox Amy bought for her parents. They were a custom item, Amy chose the fabrics, and I think they turned out great! They had an early family Christmas so will be able to enjoy them for a few more weeks. I think they look lovely hanging on the end of their bed! Thanks so much for the photo Amy!




I just made this candy cane holder - although until I get some Candy canes it is a pen holder :)!


back soon!

Cute tags and New Sox...

I am buried in my studio again.. The orders are rolling in for Jingle Sox, and I am having so much fun doing what I love! I made these super cute tags for a customer's Jingle Sox, I love the pink, I hope they do!



And a more traditional colour...



All the old favorites are still selling well.... they do look lovely on my sister's fire place don't they!...







But I am still loving me an Aussie Bush Christmas!!!
Traditional....



Gorgeous blues.... I love the reindeer.


And some modern red and black - sorry about the terrible second picture, the fabric has a real sheen to it and our Aussie sun just didn't want to co-operate!



Remember the giveaway - 2 Jingle Sox, personalised, your choice of fabric... leave a comment to enter ;)!
Big hugs!
