Sugar cookies are a wonderful tradition this time of year. These felt sugar cookies make a wonderful gift or stocking stuffers for the little baker in your family. Each cookie is made of a wool-blend felt and is pretty much life size (about 5″). Each cookie is decorated with a variety of small goodies, so I recommend your baker being at least 3 years old.
Your little bun will look adorable in this slouchy, newsboy cap in beautiful cornflower blue. Size can be custom ordered and has some stretch in the band. The sides will keep tips of little ears warm and the brim will protect little eyes from the sun. The brim is easy-stash. Although it holds its shape while being worn, it does not have an insert so it will reshape easily. Just some gentle tugs will get it back to shape. Crocheted from a very soft yarn that is 50% cotton and 50% acrylic. May also be done in 100% cotton.
With this beautiful sparkly set you will get earrings ( 3.75in.), you can remove the bottom snowflake charm and beads for a different look, bracelet ( 7.75in.) and necklace ( 18in.).
I used several different clear beads, including
Snowflakes, faceted rounds, square and round crackle beads, hearts with vitrail finish and top drilled flat oblongs.
For a little splash of color, the earrings have red faceted rounds and red flat oblongs.This set is great for the winter and upcoming holiday season. Keep it for yourself or turn into 3 gifts.
My favorite time of year; snow, sweaters and silent dark nights. These two Winter Bundle Bears are a lot of fun for any little one because they can “dress up”. Blue fleece mittens, boots and cap, mauve fleece mittens, boots and cap, and cream polar fleece mittens, boots, cap and scarf provide mix and match pieces that are all removable. (*mauve mittens are inside cap)
Enjoy the cooler weather and let your bears bundle up too! One bear is blue, cotton print, with snowflakes of cream and blue. The bear’s friend is creamy polar fleece.

This is another unique 4 in 1 outfit that can be worn with pants or as a dress alone and since its reversible and the pants go with both sides you really get a lot of outfits in this one.

Dress and pants both have eyelet trim.

When I think of winter, snow of course is on the top of the list. This beret is in honor of the snow. Watching the flakes fall or catching them on your tongue. So here’s to the snow, the simple beauty of snow-capped mountains. And now your snow-capped noggin to keep the chill at bay.
A beautiful blue and cream Kaffe Fassett fabric covers this 12”x16” memory board. Ice blue satin ribbons will hold your pictures in place. The finishing touch is a button in the center in a matching fabric. Simply slide your photographs or other mementos between the ribbon and fabric and they will stay in place. Or, simply use the board as a decoration in any room. This board has a saw tooth hanger on both the horizontal and vertical side. To finish the board, there is a felt backing to not only protect your wall but the board as well.
A warm and unique hat crocheted from double yarn in different shades of light celery and forest greens. The front has a cute detail with a strap and button. Perfect as a gift or to wear yourself on the days cooling off into fall and winter.
Due to its crocheted nature, the hat is stretchy so it should fit any normal sized adult head. The yarn is acrylic that can be machine washed and dried at low temperatures.
This soap has real 100% Frankincense, Myrrh and Gold in it! I have included true Ethiopian Myrrh in it which has antibacterial qualities and offers a bit of exfoliating and it also has Frankincense and Myrrh Resins in it. The soap is scented with Frankincense, Myrrh and Sandalwood fragrance oils. I have used honey with my clear glycerin soap to add moisture to the skin. This is the best gift I can think of for that person who has everything, a bar of soap with all three of the gifts that were given to the baby Jesus.
Using a combination of soft chenille white, silvery cotton and ice blue acrylic yarn I ‘upcycled’ this basic pair of little girl bike shorts, by sewing on a whimsical skirt just below the waistline.
I used a a fan stitch to create an illusion of snowflakes kissed by a morning frost. This skort is the perfect accessory for any little girl’s wardrobe no matter the season.
Layer with a pair of tights to provide an added touch of warmth and color.
This little icicle snowman is ready for winter. Brrr, he is cold, but

wardrobe. It is approximately 42″ long and 4″ wide. The beaded trim
is 2″ long. Its made from 100% cotton Designer fabrics and lined
with quilt batting. It has a buttonhole to slide one end of the
scarf through, instead of tying it. I have two rows of beading on
there, one brown and one wine color. You can wear it with one end
over your shoulder or wear it with both beaded ends draped in front
of your body. Stay WARM! ~from ReannaLily Designs~

I then cut 5 large snowflakes out of white fleece and pieced them about the table-runner.

Hand quilted around the snowflakes and then a machine echo quilting working out from each snowflake. Handed binded. Measures 16.5 x 35.5 inches. Original design, no patterns or templates used.

The back has a blank piece of paper for your own message. Everything used is acid-free to create a long lasting piece of art suitable for framing.
