~Ornies And Thrift Shop Finds~

I’ve been making more Christmas/Winter ornies for my upcoming show.  I finished up 13 hearts…

…and 12 gingerbread men over the weekend.

I’ve started working on fabric candy canes…cut and sewed up 34 of them. Got 8 of them stuff and will be working on the rest of them over the next few days as time allows. My oldest daughter has to go out-of-state for her job and I will have the grandkids Monday evening through Wednesday evening. So I’m not sure how much…if any…crafting that I will get done while they are here. But that’s ok…cause this grandma will be getting lots of love, hugs, and kisses from her two favorite little ones.

I didn’t find much when I went out antiquing and thrifting this past Friday…but I did get a couple of little things. Couldn’t resist this cute little doggie statue at the antique shop…it remined me of my sweet little Chloe.

But my best find was this…

the Welcoming Angel from Willow Tree.

I picked this up from the Goodwill for only $3.99. I also got six vases for .25 cents to .99 cents each that I will be using on my snowman make-do’s. I hope to start them later this week or next week…planning on making at least 10 of them or maybe more. For the last several years…I’ve been trying to do a new snowman every year. Last year was the fuzzy ones and this year will be my tallest ones that I’ve ever made. Not saying anymore…you all will have to wait until they are done before you get any peeks at them.

Be back towards the end of the week after spending time with my grandkids. We have lots to do in just 3 days…getting to and from school and homework with Josie…then there is playtime and nap-time for Peyton. Plus I need to make some alterations to Josie’s Halloween costume where she is here…and we have cookies and cupcakes to make. Hmmm…I might need some nap-time too!! LOL…

Until next time…..       blessings, Cindy
