Look at What I Painted


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Now it's countdown for Christmas. My book club is having a gift exchange, so I thought I would paint something. This was painted on a piece of linoleum, so material-wise it was very cheap, but it took a long time to paint. Hopefully the gift receiver likes it.

Snowman Bowl Fillers

Sorry it has taken me a while to post again, but things have been getting busier here. I have been trying to keep up with painting and other crafts for Christmas. I have been making ornaments and just tried my hand again at sewing. Here are a few pictures of some snowman bowl fillers and shelf sitters. I got the free directions from another blogger. I haven't used my sewing machine in years, but this was a quick and easy pattern. It was fun grundging up the snowmen with a homemade antiquing solution.


If you like to craft, especially primitive crafts, you will want to check out the "The Pickled Pepper Patch" blog. She has wonderful ideas, tutorials, and even offers free patterns once in awhile.
