Pointsettia Christmas Tree Elf Candy Cane Ladder Handmade

 

Pointsettia Christmas Tree and Elf Candy Cane Ladder Handmade with LilacsNDreams! Welcome to all who visit!

Last time I was here I showed a couple of things I was working on for Christmas. I noted I would show you finished projects. See pictures below here for that. With the Elf Candy Cane Ladder I added another elf sitting. So, instead of 2 elves on the ladder I ended up with 3 on it. The Pointsettia Tree was fun to make, and is unique I think. I have it sitting in a little metal christmas pail I had found at Walmart. Next year I think I will redo around the bottom of the tree since it looks a little too busy. Fun part with these projects is that I can always decorate in other ways since I did not glue any of the extra figures, and things I decorated with. 

I used jewelry wire to attach the elves, and the decorative candy canes to the ladder steps. I did this in case I wanted to decorate it a little different the next time it was used. With the tree I just sat everything around the tree in the snow, and pushed in the different decorative pinecones in the front. Now that I look at it its a little overwhelming with that. So, next year I’ll redo some of that too.

These were fun to make, and I enjoyed showing them off in the house during christmas. It added a little character along with any store bought decorations.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and wishing you all a Happy New Year! Thanks for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Take care, and be safe. Till the next time everyone . . . Toodles!

Christmas Holidays Treasures Repurposed Upcycled Restyled and Reclaimed

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! This won’t be real long today. Sorry, I just didn’t get anything completed this week. I started some projects, researched some ideas of how tos, place things together, and later move them around again. You know one of those kind of weeks.

I did get Halloween decorations brought in from outside. Items that could still be used for fall, and Thanksgiving I left out. 

We don’t have a lot of space in the house we are in. Unfortunately, until we can get this place decently fixed we can then list it as a fixer upper home.  We have decided this is not the project for us to complete, and continue living in. Biggest issue is the size of the home, family, and our life style.

Anyway, getting back to my posting today. Above you will see pictures of items that are all in the working. I’m making another angel, and this time I’m adding some yarn for hair on her. I’m thinking of using either angel wing ornament for her wings, or off to the side I have something else I am considering. I did get the yarn cut for her hair. I need to get it applied to her head, and get her finished.

The other 2 pictures show some of my old wooden blocks sitting in different little groups. I am spelling words with them, and will offer them in my Shoppe at Etsy I have one listed at Etsy that spells QUILT. The one I need to finish that has some old thread spools on it says SEWING. I enjoy putting these blocks together, and then decorate them just a little bit for the wording used. I do have 2 Christmas words grouped I’ll be working with too. 

Hope everyone had a fun, and enjoyable Halloween with all that you did. Next is Thanksgiving, and then Christmas. This year will soon becoming to its end. Soon it will be 2020!
