Sometimes the simplest ornaments look the best on the tree. I love this Yarn-Laced Snowflake Ornament because the Cricut Maker does most of the work and my kids can help put it together. The most difficult part of making the ornament is choosing which colour sparkly yarn to use (and it has to be sparkly!)! This post contains affiliate links.

Mind the Gap London Underground Felt Ornament
I just can't get enough of London and I'm lucky that I get to spend so much time there. There are so many iconic things about London, but one of my favourites is the Underground. It's so well-run and I never get tired of that polite voice coming over the speaker to tell us to mind the gap. I wanted a piece of London on our Christmas Tree and made this fun Mind the Gap London Underground Felt Ornament to remind me of London when I'm not there. This post contains affiliate ... Read More
Faux Leather and Felt Candle Ornament
Candles are forever connected to Christmas Eve for me. When I was growing up, our Christmas Eve service always ended with everyone singing Silent Night while the lights were turned down and our candles were lit. While we used paper wax catchers and not fancy candle holders, my Faux Leather and Felt Candle Ornament brings a touch of sentimentality to our Christmas tree. It even sways gently, so the candle does the felt equivalent of flickering. This post contains affiliate ... Read More
Harry Potter Sorting Hat House Colors Hair Clip
I can't go too long without making some sort of Harry Potter craft, so of course I joined in with Marissa's yearly Harry Potter extravaganza. It's so fun to have friends who share the Harry Potter love and have super creative ideas. My girls recently discovered that they can be sorted by Alexa (Madeline had already been sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore) and they're all in different houses. They had been asking me for something to show off each of their house colors, so I made them each a ... Read More
Trendy Peekaboo Earrings
I'm fully embracing how much I love creating peekaboo crafts. They're an easy way to use up scraps of fabric and the possibilities are endless. I've gotten addicted to making this style of lightweight earrings--they're super fun with the faux leather and pop of colour from the fabric and they're so lightweight that you barely notice you're wearing them (until someone compliments you, that is!). I'm loving these Trendy Peekaboo Earrings--they're perfect no matter the season! This post first ... Read More
Burlap and Felt Coasters
It's a funny thing that I pretty much ignored burlap as a craft supply until the Cricut Maker made it so easy to work with. It's honestly still not my favourite, but I'm getting more comfortable with it and it's something I no longer mind being "forced" to use. I didn't even groan when I saw that this month's Craft Lightning prompt was burlap--I'm really happy with how my Burlap and Felt Coasters turned out. This post contains affiliate links.
