Thinking Pink!
Hey friends! I finally got my studio cleaned up and now I'm feeling much more creative. I was talking with my crafting BFF, Tracey yesterday and we've decided to use up what we have and look at our materials in different ways. Sometimes we get stuck into one mindset so I'm going to try different techniques, colors and assemblages this year.
I bought a bag of wooden turnings and blocks the other day and pulled a wooden knob out of the mix. I turned it this way and that way and the word "mushroom" poof! popped into my head. That's how this little ornament was created. I usually don't work in pinks but I thought it might be fun to try to create a line of pink ornies.
In the bag were these wooden turnings, they measure about 1.5 inches tall. I painted them white, painted a simple face and then commenced to glittering them up! I also made tiny pink felt hats and glittered them up too.
The little wooden bowl was in the bag too so I painted it and then filled it up with my men, folded antique sheet music, bells, glittery balls and pink & white candy canes. I glued a little snowflake onto the bottom of the bowl.
BRRRRR, it's still very cold here. Stay warm wherever you are!

Meet Abner!
Meet Abner........in a mitten. He's sweet little 3 inch tall mouse made of felted wool tucked into a hand knit mitten with Christmas cheer spilling out all over! The mitten measures 6 inches from the cuff to the bottom. It measures 12 inches long from the top of the hanger to the bottom of the mitten. If you'd like to give Abner a home, you can visit him at the Jingle All The Way Home Shop.
