Least Favorite Christmas Songs

Believe it or not, I incorporate lyrics of holiday tunes that grate on me, because I know they are popular. We can’t get around Feliz Navidad during the holiday season. I enjoyed it the first time I heard it, but now it seems to be everywhere. My younger brother is an established drummer in the […]

A Sparkly Collaboration

When I was little my mom handmade a doll’s fabric store for me that had me pretending to be a shop owner for hours on end. For the coming weekends, I get to do that in real life! I won’t be surrounded like bolts of fabrics, but instead get to boutique sit for See Jane […]

It’s custom order time!

‘Tis the season to place orders, falalalalaa-lala-lala. My waxed ornament inventory went from this: to this during the Wilder Mansion Holiday Market. I am thrilled the angels and frosties are gaining popularity, but for you regulars it means that if you want to gift these to your loved ones, you need to contact me now. […]

Knowing the quotes and songs touch people’s hearts and have meaning to them makes […]

My inventory numbers broke the 100 mark recently. On Friday I will have my entire inventory at the ADA Holiday Fair from 10 a.m. to  2 […]

Jigging Frosties

My offline life is speeding up so the online blog is getting off-schedule. Here’s a peek at what pulls me away from the computer these days. In mid-October I was able to purchase Brenda Schweder’s Now That’s A Jig Starter Kit, which I eagerly anticipated. I consulted with Brenda via email on the various Rounds […]

Feeling Ornamental

It’s a bit early for Advent, but I am having a blast caroling and making holiday ornaments for December. Making snowmen has taught me all the lyrics to Frosty the Snowman. Meanwhile angelic songs are humming in my brain as well. ’Tis the season to be jolly, two months ahead of schedule. Snow arrived early, […]
