PEEK & Stow

Day 11 of my Handmade 12 Days of Christmas - but today I’m featuring pieces I have that were handmade by others!

1. My husband and I have a tradition where we go to Katy Art Glass each year for their Blow Your Own Ornament event. We have one for each Christmas we’ve been married!
2. This cone Santa is one of my favorites finds ever. My husband found it on a shelf above my head, and it says Craft Time at Dona’s and has the year I was born.
3. The angel was created in Africa.
4. The old world Santa is a new chalkware piece I got at a craft show.
5. This Santa was hand-carved out of wood.
6. The Santa head is also a new chalkware piece from the same maker.
7. I wish I had made this needlepoint (right?) Santa.
8. This beautiful nativity is from Elegant Quirk.

Day 8 of my Handmade 12 Days of Christmas!

I made these two fabric reusable Santa gift bags last year for our family but I ran out of gold thread to actually finish them - until tonight! The gold thread does not match the rest of the bag 🫠, but I doubt anyone would actually notice (or care). It adds character, right?

Day 5 of my Handmade 12 Days of Christmas!

I made a stocking for Rosalie (this isn’t it), and decided to make another out of the same fabric I used on Day 1 since all I had made was one pillow so far out of it. Matt asked who the stocking was for when he saw it hanging with the others, but I found a new place for it today since it is really just for decoration.
