I have a couple of customizable listings up for your holiday ornament fix...
Also, don't forget to check out the other spooky cute ornaments HERE that are just waiting for someone to take them home.
Other custom critters can be had upon request...
Is it me or did this Pocket Zombie Santa maybe have a little too much special eggnog, if you know what I mean?
Anywho, as you can see poor Santa had a run-in with some naughty zombies. They gnawed on Santa's head and arm a bit before the reindeer could stomp their zombie butts into the ground where they belonged. But there's no keeping Santa from making his rounds! Granted with a shuffle and grunt, preferring brains and guts over milk and cookies these days but, hey, what can you do?
♦ Stands approximately 4.5 inches (11.43cm) high from brain to feet.
♦ Individually cut from synthetic felt, sewn, and embroidered by my two hands.
♦ "Blood" is freehand painted.
♦ Comes in a "Body Bag" (aka tissue holder)
♦ Can be left as is, a Mini Plush, ~or~ can have a ornament loop/hook added ~or~ a pinback added at no extra charge. Just let me know in the "message to seller" box when you make your purchase.
(This listing is for the Pocket Zombie Santa only. Skeleton/tombstone/pillar not included.)
Next up, some new reversible headbands!

I recycled some old unused but out-of-date postcards (hubby's old band lineup) into Holiday Cards! They're fairly quick if you need some last minute cards/stocking stuffers and have some old postcards/cards laying around.
I searched for "christmas ornaments vector", found some I liked and arranged 4 of them in Photoshop. I then printed the 4 ornaments on colored construction paper, cut them about a 1/4" smaller than the post card (giving an 1/8" border) and used Modge Podge & a small foam brush to glue them in place over the front of the post cards. Stick them under a heavy book while they dry so they wouldn't curl up. If you don't weigh them down they will curl, as I learned the hard way with my first batch :p
The Holly is a removable pin! Which I found the directions for on marthastewart.com: directions & template
I used a single jingle bell (special ones have a Holly Spider too!) and tried different types of ribbon. Keep in mind double sided ribbon is easier to make the bows from than single sided. For the bows I used a 1.5" template I made out of cardboard scrap. Directions to make your own templates and a chart for multiple sizes here.
Once your cards are dry and your pins are done, on the cards about a 1/2" above the top of the printed ornament mark 2 dots horizontally an inch apart. If you don't have a hole punch that can reach, like moi, make a small 'x' with an Xacto blade and then gently poke a knitting needle (I used a size 9, 5.25mm), or something similar, through the 'x' to make the holes for the pin to go through.
Write your message on the back and you're done!

So on the night of our first snow I finally finished my niece's holiday dress.
This is the first time I've done a dress like this and on such a small scale (3T) so of course I went all out. The dress is Silk, the Sash & custom made trim is Satin Brocade and the lining is Satin. To top it all off the hem, lining & casing were all stitched by hand! I'm insane, I know, but I think it was all worth it. I can't wait to have pics of her wearing it!
See, Sis? Not everything I make is black!! :p
My hand stitched felt ornaments are going, going, going. Woo! I had a 20+ that never made it to my Etsy shop! There are a few left from the last batch...
And, a Custom Listing for Maneki Neko (Lucky Cat) Ornaments! Choose you color & beckoning paw... 
If it has sold, don't worry, as soon as I'm done with the custom order the listing will be back up again. So be sure to check back!
