All About Ornaments
Sage green and silver ribbon Christmas ornament…
One of the great things about my craft room overhaul has been rediscovering lots of ribbon and fabric that I’d stowed away (to make room for more, of course) and then forgotten all about. As long as I ignore the fact that the amount of ribbon I own is actually really, REALLY, embarrassing, I’m having a…

I am finally back to re-stocking my ornament shop, and I’m starting with a couple of my original ornaments…this one is called “Burgundy Bloom,” and I originally introduced it back in 2006.

Read MoreRed and Black Lace Ornament – French Vintage Inspired…
After designing one of my favorite ornaments ever, “Mademoiselle,” back in the fall, which sold out super quickly, I have been dying to create another french vintage inspired ornament to offer in my ornament shop.

A couple of months ago, I planted some sunflower seeds around the edge of my back porch…well, those babies sprang right up, and they have succeeded in becoming the inspiration for my September Ornament of the Month. I was in a bit of a hurry when I took this, so it isn’t the best picture…

Read MoreWhy Blend In?
My deep down inner gaudiness (well, maybe not so deep down, haha) has come out in all its glory with this ornament! I must admit, the zebra print has pretty much made its way into every aspect of my house and wardrobe, so I just couldn’t resist trying something out with this satiny fabric when…
