Tenacity and Getting My House in Order

I know a lot of bloggers posted their favorites or most popular posts from 2015.
As usual, I got pretty busy making custom orders for Christmas,
even right up to the last minute,
and then I took a break to spend time with my littles while they were off from school.
Needless to say, I didn't put together any best of posts for last year.
Instead, I'm going to just look forward to this new year.
I've got a ton of plans floating around in my head for getting my own house in order.
I've begun gathering a few things to put them into motion.

Themed Log Slice Coasters

A short time ago, I made a request for some log slices from a friend
and she delivered, just in time for me to make these coasters
for a few of my other friends for Christmas!

Rustic Wire Angel

On this Christmas Eve day, I'd like to take a short moment
to send you and your family joyful Christmas greetings!
And show you this rustic wood and wire angel gift.

Big Sky Country Sign

I've been a busy little elf this year making custom signs for Christmas gifts.

Although I like all of the signs I make,

I do have favorites, of course.

And this Montana sign is one of them!

Bird in a Nest Embroidery Hoop Ornament

Last week I showed you a button snowflake I made with a wooden embroidery hoop.

Today I'm sharing another embroidery hoop project.

This time, a turquoise bird sits in a nest in front of some greenery

with a snowy-white frame.

Perfect for the bird-lover at Christmas time!

An Edison Bulb Lamp and a Chippy Yellow Table

 It's rare that I actually get something brand-spanking new.
Most of my home decor is either something I've had forever,
something I've repurposed or, lately,
something I've built myself.
I've been wanting a table lamp for some time now and I finally got one!
Yay!
