Felt Christmas Ornaments - The Finale
January 3, 2012 FINALLY, you're probably thinking! But you should be used to me beating a good idea to death. ;)
In all seriousness though, I want to share with you the REAL story behind me and these ornaments ... the reason why I fell in love with them in the first place ... and why I wanted to make them THIS year ... which you may have already clued into if you read last week's holiday post.
... sparkles with ice crystals
... watches from the trees
(what are the chances of me getting a picture of TWO deer in the woods while on a walk with my sister-in-law?!)
... with the wood fires burning
(and the front door is even on the same side!)
Right down to the gentle smoke from the chimney ...
I mean come ON! It's like this ornament set was designed especially for my family's 2011 White Grizzly Christmas.
I gave the cottage to my brother & sister-in-law - the owners of the Lodge, the deer to my mom and the tree went to my sister & brother-in-law.
And now I'm going to make another set for me ... and probably one for each of my daughters too. 'Cause I'm pretty sure this is a Christmas they will never forget. ;)
Thank you Alicia Paulson of Posie Gets Cozy for designing THE.BEST.HOMEMADE.SOURVENIERS.EVER!

Yes, this set was designed for you;-) And the 'Sweet Home' set was designed for me: fall in love with the Dublin Doors a few years ago, Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite books and love the Disney Film (I'll made a white rabbit:-) and I love candles. Now I just have to buy me same felt! Thanks for the link;-)

Your cottage ornament and deer ornaments are just precious! I made some felt ornaments last year and loved them. Never got to it this year. I vow to begin my Christmas work in June this year!!!!
Lots of snow for you. Are you in Canada? I saw a maple leaf on something, the tube maybe. Good times!
Great post :) ....I have the Sweet Home Kit to do, though thankfully I don't have to source the felt.
Utterly adorable. I love how they all came together, Kristyne.
what a wonderful gift for your family. Sure beats socks n' undies (although I never mind receiving a cozy pair of socks on Xmas morn =). I love all her designs and am awfully tempted to order some up to add to my never ending list of craft projects!
Perfect! So very sweet! I bet they won't forget this Christmas. And you are so right about Alicia Paulson. I love, love her designs! Thank you, K., for the motivation and inspiration to complete my first ever embroidery project! :)
So perfect!! The patterns were definitely designed for you. Fortunately, I bought them too so I benefit as well. Can't wait to make mine!
I was thinking that the ornaments would be perfect with the Christmas trip. Great minds and all that!
Great Christmas story! Loved your photos!
OK just scrolled down to read your Christmas story ...... what absolutely fabulous fun - can I come and visit you next Christmas (pretty please!!).
A match made in heaven!
I absolutely love your ornaments!!! Beautiful.... :-)
Perfect! I bet your family loved them! And I know your daughters will treasure the memories and their own set of ornaments and will look back in years to come and appreciate all the beautiful things you make for them! :O)
Beautiful ornaments! And I loved your snowy mountain Christmas tales. Wonderful place!
I have one word...awesome!
