A dozen Tin Soliders

For the beginning to look a lot like Christmas challenge click Here

 

At work this year instead of Secret Santa

we are doing "A Crafty Christmas"

 I finally finished my Tin Soldiers

 A full dozen couldn't get them all in the picture.

I went with the face that came with the svg cut

liked the look of that more and I change the twine

on the hat to a scalloped circle punch 

with a sentiment from Wild Rose Studio

and a McGill pine branch punch.

 They look so cute in my craftroom all lined up 

guarding over me

almost hate to have to bring them to work tomorrow.

But I know the girls will love them

and the soft fuzzy Christmas slippers inside.     

"Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients 

of a truly merry Christmas."

Sorry I didn't post this yesterday my sister and I drove to Cobleskill

to meet my niece for lunch.

We went to the most charming place

Grapevine Farms

1850's farmhouse turned  into a country shop & bistro.

   Three floors of themed rooms filled with a some of my most favorite things

Vera Bradley

Homemade truffles

New York State wines

and a wonderful array of jewelery and gifts

the restaurant was like a scene from a movie

 a roaring fire, beautifully decorated Christmas tree

all looking out on a little white gazebo with the lightest dusting of snow.

I bought the cutest little ornament

 going to work on making a few of my own this week....
