New! Holiday House Advent Calendar

Hello Friends!

I wanted to share my latest creation just in time to make and decorate for the festive season next month...A cool way to count down to the big day!  Holiday House Advent Calendar.

A festive house advent cut from chipboard.  Pull off the roof and the base.  Pull the door knob to open the two hinged sides to reveal 24 cubbies to stash sweet surprises.  For an additional 25th surprise swing up the secret compartment hidden in the roof.

Easy to make!  You basically make three boxes, toss in the support pieces, score and fold the little boxes that are precut for you and tape or glue together.  Hinge the three main boxes together and adhere the pretty door pieces to the front.  Add your own paper, paint, ink, etc. to make this your annual heirloom advent.

Here is this year's Advent....

New Projects For the Holidays!

 Good Afternoon Y'all!

Feels a bit weird posting this the eve of Halloween, but I guess it's best to get an early start on making Holiday Projects!

It's finally gotten a bit cooler here which is putting me in the making mood!  Always this time of year it truly is like Santa's Workshop in the studio.  I Love IT!  So....I went a bit crazy with little lantern making!  I made one, fell in love and designed a bunch more.  I finally had to stop!  Then I was off making little lighted winter scenes...I made a couple, but again I could have gone on and on!

Here's what I came up with for this month's projects...

September Kits: Scarecrow and Theater On Wheels

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Well, looks like Fall is just around the corner!  In Texas, or at least where I live in Central Texas, it seems I starting getting in that Fall mood when the temperatures drop from 110 down into the 80's!  And boy howdy that's what is happening now!  I can finally turn my creative juices on and get ready for this fun season we have ahead.

Since the Jumping Jacks and Theater did so well last month, I thought I would make a Scarecrow Jumping Jack to add to the collection and a new Theater On Wheels.  I'm personally in love with this theater.  I really hope you all like both this month's projects too.

Paper Kits you ask?  Well, I'm still waiting on an order for glue and I swear by the glue I use.  Almost two months on backorder!  UGGH!

It's Been Awhile! New Kits! Jumping Jacks and Royal Theater

 Good Afternoon Everyone!

So, the last few months have been...weird...yes, that's a good word.  I guess I took a few months off to concentrate on getting things done I've so so needed to do.  Not being in my routine and doing odd things has been a challenge.  However, I'm so happy to have had the time off to get these home projects done, as well as, sit down and create something I love to make.  I'm sure many of you, working with my hands creating during these odd times has been a life saver.  Trying to make the weird into normal has been fun and I'm back on track.  If someone would just make a mask that wasn't so hot I'm back in the game totally!  HA!  Hope you all are finding your new normal.

Anyway,  below are the projects I've created for us.  As always, if you know me, I love these old fashioned toys!  They are low tech, but once completed can really be a work of art sitting out for a conversation starter.  I'm NO painter...but I've had so much fun trying to decorate the jumping jacks with paints and stamps and cutouts...Hope you like them.  For more information on the kits please check out the links below each picture.

Thanks Everyone!
