Christmas Coasters
9 x 11 cm |
We have crocheted off white doilies for coasters, and I wanted some green coasters to put under the Christmas doilies. After considering the possibilities, I decided to use some gesso boards that were prepared for paintings. I wanted to use oil paint, but was it worth it to make small paintings for coasters? I thought mini paintings would be just right.
They'll be dry for next Christmas. :-)

Sing Noel
18 x 24 cm |
For all the little children who have no Christmas tree
I sing Noel, Noel, Noel
For little girls who have no pretty dress to wear
Little boys who have no teddy bear
I sing Noel, I sing Noel for children
For all lonely children who cry on Christmas Eve
I sing Noel, Noel, Noel
For little girls whose hands are trembling in the cold
Little boys whose eyes are too too old
May the new born Savior
Turn his tender face to you
May he help us all
To make this world a better place for you
I sing Noel, I sing Noel for children
For all little children who have no Christmas tree
Let’s all sing Noel, ring the bells of Christmas
For all lonely children wherever they may be
Noel, Noel, come spend Christmas with me
Noel, Noel, come spend Christmas with me

Bunting
Looking at pictures of bunting, I was never tempted to make or use it. Then one day I found myself wondering how a Halloween bunting would look. I thought some small bunting might pop up my shadow box, so I decided to try it.
I played around with the size and shape of the triangles until I liked the proportions, made the triangles and wondered how I would string them. Twine seemed appropriate, but how to attach them. I put them on with straight pins to get the positioning, and liked the way it looked, so I hung it up. The pins are kind of like the clothes pin effect for bigger projects.
When Halloween is over, I put away the pumpkins with faces (Jack-o-lanterns), and keep the remaining pumpkins for fall and Thanksgiving decoration. This bunting has a touch of Halloween but that's okay.

Phone Pockets
The way things get tossed around in my purse, I didn't want to add my phone to the jumble without some kind of cover for the screen. I found the patchwork (that had been a wrap around a flower pot) in my stash, and sewed the sides to make a pocket, and added the button.
The third one was designed as a phone pocket. The button is decoration with a snap underneath.

Matter of Opinions
15 x 10 cm |
It's good to have
opinions. They give us personality and identity. We just need to
balance them out. For instance, these cookies. The store we were
shopping at one day had a different brand than we had been buying, and I
thought I would like them because they were similar. I didn't. I'm
not a real picky person, but I'm glad I have opinions, and so I buy these cookies at the store.
