Gone for another year. !!

                            

                             It will be back  in 365 days.  

If you did not get everything done for Christmas this year, start now for next year.  So many people said they never got everything finished that they wanted to.  The first thing is to get the most important things done.  Then you know that the  most important  stuff is finished.

Shop for Christmas all year long.  Don't get shorts and a beach top for Christmas, but I got some wonderful beach towels for Christmas.  What a good idea that was.  

Everyone can use a basic sweater.  A good, gray,  black or brown.  They are the new grays.  

You can make Christmas decorations all year long.  Buy the stuff that is on sale now.  

After the first of the year, I will be posting ideas for the Holidays.  It will be things that will make your house festive looking,  all through the year.  Not big things, but just a hint of happiness when someone spots it.  

I never quit making my Santa's and Snowmen.  I just make them along side of the Easter Bunny, Uncle Sam, and Valentine Hearts.  I better go and work on some New  Year and Valentine  Holidays right now.  

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas & have a safe and Happy New Year.  

Do not drink & drive.    Young people... Do not text and try to drive.  It may cost you your life and some poor innocent.  

Merry Christmas !

                  

                  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year  

Christmas is almost here.

                      Christmas Time is almost here.  

I love Christmas.  I love the decorations, bright colors and the music.  I have already started making plans for my blog for next year.  I thought I would give you and idea of what it takes to make a art piece.  And, I would like to give you some tutorials of some of my crafts.  Of course, this would all be free.  Who could ask for anything more.  

My snowpeople hit ebay and sold well.  I am very pleased for my first Christmas on ebay & etsy.  

I am already thinking about Spring & Easter.  Easter Bunny and soft green grass.  I still have bulbs that I never got around to planting.  Maybe, tomorrow.  the ground is not frozen yet.  It should be.  

I have several cutter quilts that Easter Bunny would look great in.  Let's see how we are going to do this.  Easter Bunny made out of the quilt or just a coat for the Easter Bunny made out of the quilt.  Decisions, Decisions. !!   That is one of my biggest decisions I have to make.  How do you use the limited amount of fabric to the best of your ability.  

The most up to date information is usually on my DK Vintage Holiday, facebook page.

I still have several unfinished pieces sitting in my shop but can't  come up with the correct design to use them in.   This is where I have my most difficult task, " Deciding on how to use my pieces to the best of my ability.  I sometimes think, "I think too much".   

This is La Bafana, the Italian Santa lady.  She come to visit the children on Jan. 6th.  She came out beautiful.  So many people like her face, that I have to do more.  

Well better get back to the shop and make some decisions.  Merry Christmas !!       DK

Christmas time !!

             Christmas is almost  upon us.  

Christmas is almost here and everyone has so many things to do.  I have been nursing a sick husband.  He is getting better everyday.  Coughing is the worst thing.  I hope he stops soon, so I can get some sleep.  

I just put on a Candy Containers on ebay.   They came out so beautiful.  I put on 2 different sizes.  

This is Peppermint Patty.   Over 8 inches tall and candy container is a generous 3 1/2 inches deep.  Plenty room for a gift or candy.   On ebay now !!

This is a wonderful green candy container.  She can be out until St. Patty's Day.   Snowmen do no have to go away after Christmas.  They can be out all winter.   

 Candy container head.  This is such a cute piece.  It is smaller and can fit anywhere.   A necklace or ring would be beautiful inside.   On ebay right now.

My snowmen have been going fast.  Be sure to jump on over and take a look and see if you can get a unique gift for someone special this year.  I will have snowmen & Santa's all year long.  I am working on Santa Candy Containers.  Soon it will be candy boxes chicks.  Oh My!!  

Merry Christmas.  dk
