...pretty christmas fluff

 

...hello dear ones!

it has been way, 

~ waaaaay~

 to long since my last post.

 

please, forgive me.

 

2012 is almost over!

yea!

it has been a rough year

so i am looking forward to a fresh new year! 

 

but i couldn't let these last few magical days slip by

without wishing you all the very best

and the most love and joy your hearts can hold!!

 

and to share with you

just WHAT i have been up to

lol!!

 

here is my christmas outfit

 

 

 

 

think

i'm dreaming of a white christmas:)

 

 

 

 

i adore the silver sequin sparkles scattered all over this sweater

a dear friend gifted me the scarf and finger mitts

they matched perfectly!!

 

i wonder how she knew?!?

 

 

 

 

 

i decorated my tree with crystal snowflakes

and glass ice cycles

 

 

 

 

white feathers, milkweed fluff

and a few carefully placed strands of tinsel

 

i love how the snowflakes cast a shadow on the walls at night...

~simple elegance~

 

 

 

my snowflake fairy topper almost touches the ceiling!!

 

 

 

 

pretty packages await under the tree...

 

 

 

 

...so lovely

i am content just gazing upon them...

 

FOR NOW!!!

lol!!!

 

 

 

 

~sigh~

 

 

 

 

a tree's reflection in a mirror, can be magic!

dancing lights:)

 

 

 

 

here is the fireplace mantel...

 

 

 

 

i used ethereal pearl lights, a feather garland

a few snowflakes and crystal leaves

 

 

 

 

i looked aaaaallll over

 for see through stockings this year

yah no!

none were to be found

 

so i made my own out of sparkle grey tulle

white sequin fringe

and added a pair of wings to each one...

 

 

 

 

i adore how they turned out!

 

like an angel's whisper...

 

 

 

 

 

an angel on my entrance way wreath...

 

isn't she divine?

dangling crystals and jasmine flowers ~ sigh...

 

 

 

 

and for me,

it wouldn't feel like christmas without paperwhites

 

here are a few in beautiful felted wool bowl...

 

 

 

 

 

a lost dollie found me again this year

and whispered her desire to be transformed...

 

 

 

 

do you think she is happy now?

i gave her a tulle skirt

and hand dyed her "sweater" to match

and added a sparkly star halo...

 

 

 

 

but i think it's her little sparkly ballet slippers

that she likes the most ~

she thinks they are magic!!

(wink, wink!)

 

 

 

 

my studio has been FULL of transformations

this holiday,

i made a tundra swan for my mom.

she adored the one i made last year...

 

 

 

 

next year, i will show you how i did it!

 

as i said before,

i am looking forward to 2013 ~

i have many fairytale things to share with you.

i do hope you stop by for a visit every now and again

 

i will try and post again before christmas

but for now,

i wish you a very merry christmas

and the happiest new year!!

 

 

here's to all of you!
