Some new ornaments....

This first one, the one on top is my own design. Cowboy Santa. He is not quite finished yet. He needs his snow like the bottom Santa. We have been having problems with our well, so I wasnt able to finish him because I have no water to clean up with. (its not the well pump, thank goodness!! there is a 1700gal holding tank and one of the float switches quit, then we dont think they hooked it up correctly, so they are supposed to be back out today. Second night without water this week.)

 The bottom Santa, above, is one of my favorites. I am making sure to finish the backs nicely too.
There are all kinds in this pic, the Angel, the reindeer toys, the sled, and the dishes. These dish ones are painted on antique doll plates that we found while cleaning out the attic. I researched some and they are not worth anything, so I tole painted on them. They were solid aluminum doll plates, probably from the '40s ? I believe they were my Mother in-laws when she was a girl. I will put a small hole in the top to hang them with. I finally received my wood order! So I have more projects to work on!! I have one more shipment on its way with some 12 inch memo clips!! and a pattern for them, Santa and reindeer!! Cute cute cute!!! I love doing Santa's, and the more I am doing the better they are coming out!

    1. yes the water is fixed again!!! This time it was a plug in control panel that went out???? They replaced it.
      We have had this system in for 12 years, this is the first time we have had any problems with it. I did get my shower tonight :o)

  2. Glad your water is back on. Funny how much you miss it when it's not there.
    P.S.- if it happens again, you could always steal a little water from the toilet tank. It's clean enough to wash brushes with.
