more of the same...

Nothing much new to report around here. Still plugging away at Christmas knitting here and there. Have done LOTS and LOTS of baking. We did have our extended family Christmas today where we had an ornament exchange. I had intended to make a "Maynerd" ornament for every cousin and household, but I had trouble finding the right picture of him. I was able to make just one in time for the exchange. We all saw each other recently at our cousin's wedding, but it was nice to all be together and actually have time to visit.



Here is the "Maynerd" ornament and a rabbit ornament for my sister. I realized after I'd poured Maynerd that I would have some resin left over. I'd been saving this Brier Rabbit Molasses jar lid for a small project for some time because there is a picture of a winking rabbit in a suit on the lid and the entire thing is about the diameter of a quarter. I left this lid unpainted, punched in my eye hook, threw in some beads left over from a bead knitted purse I made for her years ago and this rabbit charm that I've always wondered what I'd do with. I've been frustrated with this project in that it is kind of a chore to round up digital pictures and get prints made, but now I'm really thinking about simple collage ornaments. Hmmmmm...
