My little monster

In the theme of making things for Christmas, I decided to whip up this little monster for my secret santa at work this year. My co-worker likes these little guys, so I thought I'd make one of my own as a personalized gift. Of course, my girls want one now, too.

My thoughts are gravitating towards next years' Craft Table. Monsters, anyone?

Birdy Santa has come out of the woods

A friend of mine asked me to make a special Santa for her mother-in-law for Christmas this year. She is a fan of birds and owls, so I made this Santa very outdoorsy with natural, earthy colours. Birds of a feather...

Traditional Santa has arrived (from Italy?)

Always stuck for an idea for a Christmas gift for my babysitter, Elena, I decided that this year I would make her one of my Santas. Elena is from Italy, so I thought what better colours for a Santa than that! He has a rich velvet cloak, with traditional white fur and lots of goodies in his Santa sack. He was received with much love and appreciation and now has a place of honour on her fireplace mantle.

Snowman joins Santa

I'm in the throws of the craft fairs right now and have come up with a few new trinkets to sell with my Santas. My cute little snowman ornament is filled with ice-like pellets, but his red velvet scarf keeps him toasty warm.

It's a Winter Wonderland... Santa

If you like the icy colours of winter, check out my latest Santa made up of silvers, blues and white. The blues of his coat match the twinkle in his eye...

Rustic Santa is ready for winter weather!

My latest addition to my Santa collection is Rustic Santa. With his rich, red tones and warm coat, I think he is my favourite so far.
