Another All Through the House Preview
I just have no choice but to include a gingerbread variation in this upcoming pattern. No choice NOT to make tiny glitter bedecked pink shingles, gumdrops, candy canes and a little surprise inside (still working on that part, not happy with the latest). I love sparkle-ing ALL the tiny things with glitter! But y’all. Glitter gets everywhere. When I’m 1000 showers past my final house sample someone will say to me “Hey, do you know you have some glitter in your ear?”
If you plan on making this one, be sure to have Fabri-Tac glue on hand as well as the trusty ol’ Aleene’s Tacky Glue. The gingerbread variation shown here includes the Benzie Design Bellwether glitter felts in white and pink. Also the actual gingerbready color is their Nutmeg wool-blend, which is not included in the usual ‘Twas the Night color palettes, so you will have to buy that separately if you’d like an authentic cookie color. I was also eyeing their Cinnamon pretty hard for that, and I think it would also work really well if it’s already in your stash.
If the tiny detail on this ornament is making you a bit nervous, I can assure you this intermediate level pattern will be similar in difficulty to my other intermediate level ornaments (‘Twas the Night and Ebenezer). I will include some harder/easier options for a few of the details, and also of course the usual VERY detailed step by step instructions. 🙂
This pattern is still in development, but other patterns in this series (and lots more) are available in my Etsy shop: mmmcrafts.etsy.com
I will be looking forward to creating these, too. I am working on my second set of Dicken's ornaments. The first set I sent to friends in Germany as a Christmas gift – all three ornaments. They were beyond thrilled. Now I am making a set for myself. I love your elves, too. The Santa, Mrs. and two elves. You will keep me quite busy! (Oh – and the 12 days are awesome too!) YOU are wonderful and I thank you for all you put into these delightful patterns. <3
