It's the most wonderful time of the year!

You can feel it in the air as the temperature starts to drop in the midwest...it is the feel of Christmas!  I actually look forward to the start of this season, when I can make excuses to stay inside, watch football and do a little holiday crafting!

Although I wasn't planning on putting these crafts up for sale on my Etsy site, this vintage Santa door hanger turned out really darling and I might consider making more to sell...it has a way of sparking fond Christmas memories and looks so charming hanging over a door or maybe beside a mantel or wherever else you feel like it!

These vintage Santa images are from my favorie site, The Graphics Fairy, which I frequent nearly every day.  There are some really great old fashioned holiday images on there and I can't wait to use more.

Here is another item that I just finished.  A holiday wreath wrapped in old, thick rope.  The little rosettes are hand made from extra fabric that I had and add a nice touch.  I thought this turned out really well, and again, I want to keep it for myself and not sell, but just maybe I will have to make another...

I am planning on doing more Christmas projects, including one big one which will be better left explained in another blog!  So for now, stay warm and enjoy!

Sweet Crafting!
