A few more wintry projects to share

Hi y'all! I guess you've figured out by now that I didn't do Valentine's this year. My daughter had an ovarian tumor removed Jan 28th (benign thank God!) & the grands have been staying w/ us while she recuperates. There was no way I was going to rip apart the house & switch it over for Valentine's so I just skipped decorating this year. I have been crafting for the holiday though (the paper romance ezine was soo much fun!) & will share those projects later this week.

But today I wanted to share a few more winter projects that I made. First, my little top hats.... LOVE them!
I think the parisienne one is my favorite although I wish that I had distressed it up some more. And I wish the coarse glitter I dabbed it with showed up better in the pic. (The rhinestone piece is a vintage shoe clip.)

Sorry about the glare in this picture but teh sun was coming in the window, very strong.

I used a round piece of sheet music for the top of the sheet music hat...it worked out perfectly! Aren't the little crocheted flowers sweet? I recently bought a big bag of them while thrifting & added pearl center. I gave this top hat an all over dusting w/ fine glitter but again, it doesn't show up very well in the pic.

Here's the sheet music round if you want to use it. Irfanview (you can find it on my sidebar under blogging helpers) can resize it to whatever size you need.

And of course I made a wintry altered spoon.

As well as a little winter cottage. I covered the roof in pages from an old french paperback & then covered the whole thing in glitter. I bleached cheap bottle brush trees & then rolled them in white paint. One of my Dept 56 snowbabies calls it home.

The grands have gone back home now (WOO HOO!!!! ;o) ) & my art/craft group has been rescheduled for Friday night. It's gonna be a good week!
