Crafty Christmas Countdown: 4

I decided this year that I'd like to make ornaments for most of the people at the office. Mostly I stuck with designs I'd done before but a few new shapes found their way into the mix.

Crafty Christmas Countdown: 5

As I've purchased more LEGO, I've found ways to incorporate them into a Christmas scene, usually focusing on my TARDIS set. Here I've created a city center with a tree and a skating rink. Not to mention a business man too busy for his family and a rampaging snow monster.

Crafty Christmas Countdown: 6

It has become one of my traditions to recreate a villain from a Doctor Who Christmas special every year. This year I picked the Tree King from The Doctor The Widow and The Wardrobe. I made him as a jumping jack type figure out of card stock and colored pencil.

Crafty Christmas Countdown: 7

I have a foam crow that I decorated some time ago that I like far better than I expected. I decided I wanted to make a Christmas themed one this year. Unfortunately, I was unable to find another glitter crow. I did find these slightly odd looking white birds.
I found the perfect decorations in my scrap supply. Now I have some fun holiday shoppers to decorate with.

I love these little wooden decoration kits. These I decorated with colored pencil.

Crafty Christmas Countdown: 9

I've had this one wool sweater since high school. It's dark green wool and kind of nubby and about four sizes too big. It was my favorite sweater to wear lounging around the house. When it finally became more hole than sweater last year I couldn't quite bring myself to throw it away. I tucked it into my craft supplies with the idea that I might felt it and turn it into mittens or something. 
I came across the sweater again when I went digging for some scrap fabric to use for a needlepoint project. It was the perfect background for this camel.

Crafty Christmas Countdown: 10

I guess this is a dinosaur Christmas for me. I made this T-rex puppet out of a stuffed toy I got at the thrift store.
