...and i couldn't be more excited! today we got our tree. a pink one! i looove it. i'm thinking i'll get a white one too. maybe tomorrow, well see. my pink one is my 'handmade' tree. all handmade ornaments, pom poms and knitted garland. it's still a work in progress. i will show you the finished product soons! one thing i can show you right now are my GNOMES!!! remember a few weeks ago me telling you all i was working on a gnome project, well here they are...
i love their little heart shaped rosy cheeks. i'm pretty much obsessed with them. these are the big ones. i made some tiny ones for the tree too. :)
i think i'm going to possibly put together a little gnome kit for those who want to make their own, that includes all the materials needed and the pattern for them. what do you think?
here are some fun holiday photo's that are inspiring me right now!

if anybody would be interested in doing a handmade holiday ornament swap let me know. i think it would be so fun to have ornaments from other crafty folks on my handmade tree and i'd love to do a little swaperoo! sound fun?
xoxo.
