Featured in Molly Makes

A few months a go I was asked if my crochet nesting cups could be featured in the January issue of Molly Makes magazine. It was the first I'd heard of the magazine because it is published in the UK but once I saw a little of what they were all about I was totally on board! Serious eye candy!! :) Even though its just a little blurb it is still super exciting!!

Christmas cookies

I baked cookies all day yesterday and folded origami boxes all day today and here is the result.

We're planning on going caroling tonight and these are the treat boxes we're giving away. I made 13 boxes and each box has 13 goodies inside! I guess 13 is a lucky number as long as cookies are involved! I made Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallow Bark, raspberry and orange jam filled Thumbprints, and our family's favorite cookies, Chocolate Dipped Orange Logs! I am over on Dana's blog today sharing the recipe for chocolate dipped orange logs so go check it out!

 Just wanted to post a link to my salt dough cookie ornament recipe for those who don't already know about it yet. These are sill some of my most favorite ornaments. And don't forget the origami box with a window to put them in.

vintage inspired Christmas village

Last year after Christmas was over I spotted this awesome vintage looking village on A feild journal and fell in love! I became obsessed with making a vintage village too. I love how they turned out. If I get around to it I'll make a pattern for you all to make a little village too! :)

my christmas mantle

So we put up our Christmas trees this past weekend but I have a confession, we decorated our mantle the day after Halloween! :) :) The felt trees are from my glittered felt Christmas tree tutorial that I posted last year. I'm thinking of making more in different sizes and covering the entire mantle with them. I don't know if I really will, the silver pots and candle sticks are usually a permanent mantle decoration. What do you think?
