Frosty the Snowman

 

In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman, and pretend that he is Parson Brown. He'll say are you married we'll say "no man, but you can do the job when you're in town."

 

 

For the last instalment of the Christmas collection I present to you my mother’s favorite Christmas symbol, the Snowman.

This little guy took some work to figure out but it was worth it! I wore a pair of them out the other day. They were light as a feather, I forgot I had them on.
 

 

I used two different materials for this design. You can have it in either textured white plastic or painted clear plastic. Both designs are made from recycled plastic so you can have a sustainable and festive look this holiday season.

Thumpity thump thump, look at Frosty Go!

So Leave a Peppermint Stick for Old Saint Nick Hanging on the Christmas Tree

 

Candy Canes

There are few tastes in the world better than Peppermint! Candy Canes are one of the best things about Christmas. They can be used for so many things; decorations, gifts, food and … Jewelry??? YES!

 

 

Now a days it is hard to find an ordinary candy cane (or maybe I just get to the stores too late); it seems like all I can find are skittles candy canes or tropical fruit candy canes. Rubbish! Nothing beats a good old fashioned peppermint stick.
 

These candy canes of course aren’t peppermint, they’re recycled painted plastic. But that doesn’t mean they are any less yummy. And you don’t have to worry about breaking your diet to indulge in these cute little confectionaries. They are guaranteed fat, sugar and calorie free.

The Holly and The Ivy

Holly!!!

 

 

I never saw live Holly until I moved here, we have some growing in the front yard. It’s a nice looking plant, a bit prickly. I grew up with the plastic stuff; we had wreaths of it, and candle holders and even a transparent bowl with holly inside of it.

 

So while trying to come up with figures of Christmas holly was definitely a contender. But actually holly isn’t Christmasy at all. Holly, ivy and mistletoe were used by pagans to celebrate the winter solstice before Christianity existed. When Christians adopted the winter solstice in the form of Christmas, they also adopted these symbols.

 

 I tried using new methods for holly but none of them worked as well as I wanted, so I stuck with my tried and true source. I hope you enjoy these leaves made of recycled plastic and repurposed wooden beads. Pick up these prickly plants before they’re all gone.

Simply Snowflakes

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

 

As you can see I’m getting ready for Christmas. I love Christmas! I love Christmas music, I love shopping for Christmas presents and trying to figure out what I’m getting my family and friends. I love watching Christmas movies; I used to watch a different movie everyday. I love going to various celebrations and parties. I love preparing for Christmas; I used to have Christmas dinner for my family before moved to England, and I really miss deciding on the menu, picking the décor for the year, decorating the house, buying and decorating my real tree - and if you knew me you’d know that would take a whole day in itself; I’m a bit OCD so my ornaments have to go on in a certain order.

 

I miss all of that! Last Christmas was a bit of a disaster, we had a loved one who was terminally ill and Neil and I spent the whole of the Christmas season at the hospital. Now Neil doesn’t enjoy Christmas at all anymore; he's not in the mood for it with all the other things we have going on. But to me that's even more reason to have a great Christmas, to take your mind off of the troubles of life and celebrate the season. I want to liven up this Christmas but he’s being a bit of a Scrooge. Hopefully he’ll come around.
 

Anyway, I have been busy coming up with and trying out designs for Christmas earrings. Of course again I’m trying to use recycled materials. A lot of the designs are still a work in progress but I figured I could release one of them now.

 

These simple snowflakes are the first of this year’s Christmas line. As you can see I’ve done them in clear and white soft recycled plastic. They are large however they are as light as air. And just like real snowflakes no two are exactly the same.  Get your pair before they melt away.
