My son asked me to make an angry bird ornament so I have but the color of the ornament is burgundy so it's not as red as I would like it to have been. If I come across a nice red ones I will pick them up and do it all again. I will post the changes if I make new ones.

Stars will shine bright on your Christmas tree with these cute snowflakes  on a star. Unbreakable ornament star has been designed and hand painted. Some with big snowflakes and some with small but both make a big statement on your tree.

I would like to introduce to you Sam the brother of Frosty the snowman. He holds candle above his head to light the way to Christmas spirit. Medium size wine glass transformed into a lovely snowman willing to hold a light for you. Made with a felt hat and a snowflake accent on his hat smiling away at whomever he may see. 

I will be making two more to make a set of three snowmen holding tea lights that I have painted faces on. The tea lights are led and I also painted the nose of the light so it shines orange for his nose.

I can not decide which of the red hearts I like best but I will be happy to see them on my tree and those of my relatives. This ornament is 60mm.

This unbreakable ornament will melt your heart. Hand painted original design can be personalized on the back. The ornament is 60mm.

An apple for a teacher is what the snowman brings to school. This is a unique gift for any teacher to hang on their door at home or at school. This snowman will bring Christmas joy to all who are near.

Hand painted and designed. This is made with recycled jeans. Acrylic painted and sealed. I am not sure what type of hanger I will make for this project but he seems pretty cute as he is laying flat.




I will update this at a later date as I have not decided what to use to hang it. There are more to come. I have already painted a gingerbread man and I have some really small pockets to paint to hang in a tree. Keep checking back over the next couple weeks to see what is coming next.

 Any comments are welcome on any ornament or project I have posted. Feel free to browse and check out the tutorials I have posted.

I have been creating new animal ornaments and hope the recipient approves my likeness of a Goffin Cockatoo.  The person who will receive it says the bird is old. If something should happen to the bird all is require a permanent marker to write the lifespan on the space provided on the back.

This ornament is hand painted and designed with a bit of humor to bring a smile to bird lovers.

I haven't forgotten my sister's cat. I made some for dogs now this one is a cat. I might change it up a bit as I am not totally sure I am happy with it.

Hand painted and designed for the cat lover's out there. If I change the design I will upload the changes at that time.

Ah yes, I am also working on a glass ball of a bird. A Goffin Cockatoo. I have drawn the sketch but haven't had the time to paint it on the glass ball. 

I am currently working on a Angry Bird's ornament for my son and daughter along with other things for Christmas gifts. Keep an eye out for more things to come. Hopefully these ornaments will inspire you to buy something handmade or just make it yourself. 

I found this site that shows you how to make a felt top hat. I was so inspired I made a couple. My kids shared in the fun by helping me cut out the pattern from paper then chose the ornaments to go on the top of the hat.

Here is the website I found and hope you enjoy making the top hat as much as my kids and I have. I will be hanging these all on my tree. I made the top hats by the instructions. I have thick felt so I cut is a bit small to the actual size in the end as I didnt have to fold the sides in. The purple hat shows what I mean. The one next to it is the one I followed. The tree in the back was my addition to the design so it would hide the glued ends. Worked out pretty good. I wasn't happy with the glued ends and plan to add some fake snow before it goes on my tree. I also didn't put the bell inside. I didn't have any on hand.

When taking photos of the original hats I had forgotten to take one of the red hat in thick felt. I found the thickness of this felt to be the best option. I am not sure how thick it is. I have had the felt hanging around in my crafting supplies for some time. It is thicker than the purple hat. The quality of the felt is strong

This ornament is for a member of my family. Last in a series of three dog designs.

All three of the dogs that are listed here are for one owner. Two are for the dogs they have now and one is for in memory of another that passed away some time ago.

I have been wanting to design this ornament for a couple years now and finally come to this design.

This one is special as this one is the one I will give the owner in memory. I will personalize it and on the back write the time the dog was with the family. I have a bone shape in the back to place the date.

You can hang the mirror in the winter season not just for Christmas. I enjoy making ornaments for any craft that can stay out for the season not just for a couple weeks.

With these cheese spoon I have transformed them into lovely ornaments. I will drill a hole on the top so  it can be hung on the tree. Pengiun, Snowman, Polar Bear and Gingerbread man. Made of wood and added snowflake to each ornament. There are not two alike as they are all hand painted.

I have been very busy this year with renovations coming to an end around Christmas.  My crafting has been on the back burner for a long time but now I have some time to make Christmas gifts in the next couple of weeks


To start things off here are some cute little snowmen bundled up high to keep them warm on those snowy days.

I started them last year and I ran out of time to complete the design. I am posting some more today so keep an eye out for new gift ideas. I am also including some idea for Teacher gifts. All ornaments are hand painted and design with care.

The end of the school year is complete and the kids are home. I have been away from my blog for some time now but plan to get back to crafting in the beginning of the school year.  Once again I will blog my craft creations. Life happens so I go with the flow.

My creative side has missed the hands on touch and feel of newly created gifts for some special people that give our kids time to develop into the future generation. It is always difficult to find original gift ideas for teachers. I create new gift ideas twice a year. This year I had to create something that both male and female teachers could relate to. Not to girly but in the middle. I came up with this idea last year to create a bell but not just any bell. 


The bottom part of the bell is a acrylic painted terra cotta pot. I could not find handles in Belgium so I had some in Canada and took them here last Christmas to complete this idea. The worm is a bookworm bookmaker. You can not see in the photos here that the worm has tiny sparkles all over the clay.
