My fave one..
Minis are fun too..
She's sweet isn't she...
I enjoy making gingerbread houses..
Hansel and Gretel were surely responsible:)
I think that is where my love of gingerbread houses came to be..
Last year..I bought Ricardo's gingerbread cookie cutter set.
It is no secret that I love Ricardo and everything Ricardo.
In fact his Christmas magazine is so far the best..Martha Martha Martha..?
The set is great..sturdy..quality..makes indentations etc..I cut out the front and side windows and used gelatin sheets to mimick lead glass windows..hoping to put a small battery operated candle..measure your door..that's all I can say..once you close that baby up..if your door is not big enough..that piano is not getting in;)
For the snowman and the trees I used the cute little set above..
I placed the house on the board my son-in-law made me..and added Lindt Snowmen..
For the house I used Ricardo's Gingerbread house recipe..and for the royal icing..Bridget's.
And..I used my new Imperial Sugar w/ Bridget's cookies on the box:)
I also did what I said I would not do..but I added to the landscape of The Littles house..lampstandards..an arbor..trees..etc..yep..I did..
it's now got a kitschy edge..cause Littles like that:)
I made a mitten garland for the kitchen window..you can find the pattern at this beautiful blog.. Nana and Co.
I first loved it in 2013!
It's a fun little project..you make 6 mittens..and decorate to your heart's desire.
A friend finds the most beautiful animated gifs for her FB..
I borrowed the above little girl from her..will share more..
And finally..I've signed up for another wonderful Shari Blaukopf art class..online through Craftsy..
I signed up on her blog..which I follow.. I love her perfect building designs..yet they are loose and fun and interesting..
go have a peak;)
Maybe you will want to take the class along with me..
I want to loosen up:)~
