I've been working in the yard a little, in between the thunderstorms!  It doesn't look like much this year because we've had so much rain but I try to keep things neat and keep the weeds down.  I have a pair of Mallard Ducks that come everyday for the birdseed.  I've been trying to get a photo of them.  They're so pretty and they're used to me now so they don't fly away when they see me!  As soon as I can get a picture of them, I'll post it here.

And, I finished up my little Santa Door Hanger:

I'm running low on snowflake buttons.  I need to get up to JoAnn's or Michaels or Hobby Lobby one of these days!

I started on another little Christmas door hanger:

I have a cute little snowman button for this one.  And some pretty little pine trees.

I guess that's my news for now.  Nothing terribly exciting going on at the moment.

Handmade Christmas Door Hangers

Well, I'm finally caught up on all the Handmade Christmas things that we've been making for our store.  Everything is finished, listed and ready to ship!  Here are the newest handmade Christmas items.  All are by mom:

The Santa door hanger is worked in the Crazy Quilt style.  Mom started cross stitching that santa years ago when her vision was better.  She never finished it and can't see well enough to finish it now so she worked it into this pretty little hanging Christmas pillow.

Mom made the Cottage Christmas Stocking from a vintage quilt that I found at a flea market over the Summer.  She still has quite a bit of the quilt left so expect to see something for Valentine's day from the rest of it!

Finally, that gorgeous Winter Snowman Door hanger features a vintage Christmas image.  Oooh, I would love to keep that one for myself but I was a good girl!  I listed it in the shop!

Okay so what's next?  Yes, Valentine's!  I know it seems so early for that but we have to work at least 4 months in advance to get things done for each holiday.  My mom and I love making things for our Etsy shop.  We have a great time getting new ideas and bringing them to life.  And there's so much satisfaction in knowing that our handmade things are enjoyed by others!
