This week, I've been getting all my projects completed and gathering up supplies for Romantic Cottage Christmas.
The palette is silver, gold, and white with an option for pink if preferred.
I've got some tiny trees in aqua too, so I guess that is also a choice.
And I drew up some collage sheets with holiday graphics to use.
One of my favorites, is this Holiday Treat Jar, topped with a praying angel. Her wings are flocked wallpaper on one side and layers of ruffled lace on the other.
She has such a sweet face, I fell in love with this old photo at a glance.
This angel doesn't have any problems in the sweet department herself. What a darling! Lots of flocked paper and lace for her too.
And of course, as The Cherub sways on the tree, her backside will show, that has to be prettied up too.
The kneeling angel also will have a nicely finished back view.
I figure that the Mini Tart Tin Trees and the Bottle Brush Spools will each be shorter classes, probably less than an hour. So, we will have time to personalize and embellish both angel projects.
There will also be beads and crystals to add to the little trees. I do like to see the finished products show the creator's own personality, so I like to have lots of extras out for everyone to play with.
The Good Stuff, of course!
I will be making up plenty of kits. They will be for sale after the class on 11/23. Or if you'd rather come and visit here in the studio, I still have room for a few more guests.
We would love to have you join us!
All supplies for 4 projects are included, along with lunch, goodies, and beverages for $100 per person.
Please email me if you'd like to attend.
Wish I could come, they all look beautiful!! The date doesn’t work for me, as Marj and I have a prior commitment. Have fun! Can’t wait to see pictures of everyone creating and how their projects turn out! We will definitely be missing out!
Hi Karla!
What beautiful projects you are working on!!!
Just lovely!!
I really wish I could attend. Alas Indiana is a little far from you. I would love to purchase a kit if you have any left over. Your kits are some of the best I have ever purchased.
How I wish I could join you! I love the trees (you know I’m a tree nut!) but to see all the other pretties — well, fantastic. It will be fun to see everyone’s finished pieces and your “at work” photos! Lucky attendees!
Oh, how beautiful your projects are, Karla! I am in awe of the holiday collage sheets you drew up yourself!! Wow! So astonished at your ability to create them!
Those who can go to your wonderful event will find themselves surrounded by beauty and enchantment and holiday magic at its best.
What could be more fun than creating pretty vintage inspired Christmas ornaments with friends?! Wish I could come! Have lots of fun!

I would love to attend your Romantic Cottage Weekend but am working that weekend. I will be looking for your next craft weekend. I am attending Karens “Roses in the Snow” this weekend.” I live in Tulsa, not too far from Lawrence!
Karla, your holiday projects are so pretty. Those attending are lucky gals (whoops, there may be a guncle in there,too). I am laughing that you are still in prep mode, and getting easily distracted with all of your own goodies. Party on.
I wish there was a guncle coming. He cant make it this time, but I get to visit him soon.
Be still my heart!!!
