Took the tree down this past weekend and attended the last Christmas party of the season. Finally, the cookie crumbs have settled. Now that all the gifts have been opened, I can share pictures of several that I made.
Vintage clear glass buttons make this icicle sparkle! The buttons are strung on light blue embroidery floss.
This hanging snowman’s hat is actually a rosy color. Made of cotton quilt batting, I sprayed stiffener on the back of it to give it a little more structure.
Here’s a close up:
The Victorian Santa was made for my son. He’s patiently waited years for me to make it for him. I presented him with the basic Santa on Christmas morning and let him go through my bins of trims to choose what Santa would hold. 
I love writing my stories, but creating these items reminded me how much I also enjoy the process and satisfaction of creating with my hands. Looking forward to 2015, there will be time spent in my craft corner.
Available on Kindle, Nook and iBooks.

Hope you had a Blessed Christmas and will enjoy a Healthy New Year.
Looking forward to your next book.
Joan, Thank you so much. May your New Year be filled with joy and overflowing with blessings from above.
Oh Nita – I loved the vintage button icicle!!! It was gorgeous!! Did you hit up flea markets and yard sales for the buttons or were they hiding in your stash all these years?
Kristin, they’ve been in my stash from when I did the flea market and yard sale circuit. 🙂 I love how it sparkles.
