cecelia Hayes arts and crafts

 

Our tree is very simple.  Two kinds of white lights, fake snow, icicles.

I made alot of our gifts this year.  For all my nieces and nephews, I made little name ornaments (very easy) to go on little goodie bags.

For the girls I made hair clips, for the boys I made pins.

I am still working on some gifts.  I hope everyone had a good Christmas!

 

 

I feel as usual that I am scrambling.  There are still many things I want to put in the shop and gifts I need to make.  Here is a little Christmas wreath I have on etsy.

I shared a table at the Buffalo Indie Market (now a month ago sheesh!)  with my friend Kate (no website yet).  This is her very finely manicured hand modeling one of my rings (which is now hers).  She makes a much better hand model than I do.  I have crooked middle fingers and black paint in my nail beds.

I have the rest from the show at Gallery R on Park Avenue in Rochester.  I am trickling in some on etsy.

 

I am making a series of custom ornaments for a woman on etsy.  I made this whole thing (the bear from clay) and in the end he will hold a little flag with the name of her son on it.  I like that this feels like a little diorama.   

I have been making lots of headbands.  As usual, I need to devote attention to bettering my photography. It is hard to manage all aspects of my crafts, the thing itself, the packaging, the promotion.  I have found some tactics to distract the baby more, so I have been finding extra minutes through out the day to work.  This week and next week they'll be new batches of things on etsy so stay tuned! I have also been making lots of barrettes and bobby pins...

 And I have been making some wedding cake toppers.  

 

These images are pretty Valentine's Day, so I'll go all out with the Christmas spirit next post.
