House Ornament #2

 Today I'm showing you another of the ornaments in the series.  It's really difficult to get decent photos of something that's round!  If you go HERE you can see much better photos of what I was aiming towards.



And...yesterday Resident Chef made these....why buy chocolates when his are so much better? 



- There are a number of really great knitting hacks to be found HERE.

- THIS is a really (!) simple project but I know my hands are happier when I use them.  

- If you're searching for a quick and easy project perhaps making THESE might work!

- Sometimes the easiest projects are the cutest as THIS will attest!

AND - JUST A REMINDER - THERE'S ONLY THREE DAYS UNTIL MY CHRISTMAS LANDSCAPE SALE COMES TO AN END!  GO HERE TO SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE! 

Today's quote..."The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does"

  1. Your house ornaments may be my favorites yet, but then I seem to have a thing for little houses of all kinds. I would love one of those chocolates right now. :~)

    1. I've always had a thing for little houses too (miniatures of all kinds, actually). And wish I could virtually send you a chocolate!

  2. These house ornaments are gorgeous They will be family treasures. Oh my, how nice to have a man who can make things in the kitchen. Tony, while good at many things, can pour himself a bowl of cereal...that's the outer limit of his kitchen skills. LOL

    1. Luckily my DH loves to cook - and he passed that love on to our boys (to the extent that our oldest is a chef).

  3. About those chocolates.. Are they filled? I guess you don't ship. They'd be eaten at the border anyway.

    1. Yes, they're filled. And I think you're right - they wouldn't make it past the border (if they even got that far).

    1. Thank you Christine - I'm pleased with them. As for the chocolates, they're in the freezer. We allow ourselves one per week because otherwise they'd cease to be a real treat.

  6. I can just imagine how long those house ornaments take to fashion.

    The chocolates look amazing. Resident Chef did an awesome job on them.

    God bless.

    1. The ornaments did take awhile for sure, but they were fun to do. I was dreading putting them together but once I managed to resize the roof pattern to suit the gauge of canvas I used they went together pretty easily.

  7. Another fun finish, it looks great! You've certainly gotten the hang of putting them together beautifully.
    Chocolate, yum! What kind did he make? It looks like it could be buckeyes?

    1. I was dreading putting those ornaments together but in the end it wasn't as difficult as I expected.
      The chocolates aren't buckeyes, but similar. He's cobbled together his own recipe (as usual!)

    1. They were fun ornaments to do although quite time consuming. I liked them because they're a little different than the normal ornaments and I also love miniatures.
