Some random thoughts today....

I need to find some round head clothespins. I want to make some of these little angels. Super simple looking. I want different material though. I'll have to go to Hobby Lobby and check out some fabric.


The snowman I posted the other day is for a friend of mine. I have agreed to make him for 5 different friends/family members. So, I am going to do it as a gift set. They are each getting a snowman, one of the little crochet wreaths and a no sew runner. They are going to enjoy them.


Oh if I was skinny again! I absolutely fell in love with this and would wear it in a heart beat if I was slender.


I am looking for an extremely skinny primitive style tree for my corner of my dining room. I am going to look at clearance sales after Christmas because I want to make homemade ornaments to hang on it and I won't have time this year to get it all ready before Christmas. 


If you need an easy, simple gift idea to take to a hostess of a party or for someone you just need a little something for, here's an idea. I usually use a white gift box and pretty Christmas ribbon for it. In the box, I put an orange, a few cinnamon sticks tied up with a skinny red ribbon, and about 10 whole cloves tied up in tulle with a skinny gold ribbon. I stick a handwritten card with instructions to slice the orange and add all the ingredients to a pan of water and let simmer on the stove for a festive holiday smell.
