When the mice are away ...

Grandma took the kids on Sunday and I have had a delightful time crafting!! Here are some of the fruits of my labors:

The star is made from square dowels.  Instructions can be found on Lowe' websites but I think I like a 5 pointed star better than the one they made. 

The "Joy to the world" is made from a sheet of foam paper but I'm thinking of re-doing it in wool felt.

I've also had time recently to make a hex nut bracelet.  Thanks for the idea pinterest!  (Incedentally, being my own hand model totally reminds me of "The Hand" from Zoolander.)

What else ... oh yeah.  I've finally had some time to make some earings just for the heck of it.  I'm still playing with ideas. Too bad my camera phone can't capture the lovely warm peuter color of the leather on this earing. What do you think?  What crafts are you making this holiday season?

I like the earrings. Not a huge fan of the hexnut bracelet, but I think if it had something other than blue string it might be interesting...
