Gingerbreads

A large gingerbread house with gelatin plates as windows.

We put a lamp in it and it was so beautiful. The children made the small houses and the rockets.

This year I made a big gingerbread Christmas tree. 15 inches high and built of 66 gingerbread cookies in 22different sizes.



Advent Calendars with small packages...
Never start with this if you have more children than one! It takes ages to wrap 48 small packets and then tie a string on each so they can be attached to the rings.  Yes, they did actually get a package each every day in December until Christmas eve when they where younger.

This calendar I made from a picture I saw in a craft supply catalogue. Everything didn't turn out exactly as in the catalogue but I think my calendar looks much better. I made some very small cross stitches designs on microscopically small aida. See the picture below and to the right.





I made this calendar from a material kit bought  from Panduro.

Other things

A tired Santa I made a number of years ago. The head and hands are made of plastic clay which I formed and hardened and then painted.

Three sweet rice angels.

These mice I sewed from a material kit I bought from Panduro.

If you fold small pieces of cloth and then needle them onto a styrofoam star it can look this nice.
