Putz houses

I made some putz houses. I found instructions on Pinterest (though I did cheat and use a Sizzix die), and made seven of them. I love them! I made them to sell but I want to keep them all :)

Fröbelstern wreath

I made a beautiful wreath from Fröbelstern (froebel stars, or German stars). I'm so pleased with how it turned out, I plan to make more as gifts for friends this Christmas. They're not too difficult to make, but they are a bit fiddly! I followed this excellent tutorial.

I wonder if it would work with fabric? Hmm, well I'm super busy this December, so that's something to think of for next year.

Teimlo'n Nadoligaidd

Had a lovely weekend. Spent some time with family, had a few beers, then Chris came down and we watched lots of old films. Finally got round to trimming up, and I'm very happy with how the tree looks.

My queer nativity has a new visitor this year - Father Christmas! I know Father Christmas doesn't normally visit baby Jesus, but it's my nativity so it's totally allowed. Father Christmas visits children who are nice, not naughty - so he's here in my nativity to show that queer kids can be just as nice or naughty as straight ones. I was nice all year, obviously!
