This year I'm doing something new: Christmas ornaments. I'm trying these out in my Etsy shop.

For myself, I don't normally have a Christmas tree, but I do like to bring in a fallen tree limb, a slim one with lots of little branches to hang ornaments from.

Tempus fugit

If it's almost Hallowe'en, Christmas can't be far behind.

I made myself a reminder. Some Christmassy stock has to be made very soon. Just like magazines, this business requires working months in advance. This year, I've decided to stitch words on my ornaments, as well as offer personalized ornaments -- the customer gets to choose the word or name. If this interests you, please contact me through my Etsy shop for more info.
