Sassy Orders

Here's a peek at some things I've been working on today.  I've been as busy as an elf monogramming these things for customers!

First are these cute campfire t-shirts for a client from up north.  They are appliqué and monogrammed.  She asked that I personalize them with the state name "Maine" for the five children to wear on Christmas Eve!

Next are these gorgeous wedding handkerchiefs I did for a sweet bride getting married close to Christmas!

Hope you all are having a relaxing Tuesday!

Sassy Ornament Craft for Kids

Here's a fun way to pass time with your kids and create a holiday memory.

Buy a box of ornaments from a local craft store.  Shadow proof or glass will work.  The ones I used below are shadow proof.

1. Santa's Sleigh:

Using acrylic paint and your children's thumb, create Santa's sleigh with three red thumbprints, and Santa's face with one pink thumbprint.  Add a beard with white paint, and add white and red paint for hat with paintbrush.  Once dry, use Sharpie markers to embellish. 

For the reindeer, use two brown painted thumbprints for the body.  Add jingle bells with yellow paint and of course, red paint for Rudolph's red nose! Once dry, embellish with black Sharpie.

For best results, hang ornament to dry.

2. Snowman Hand:

Paint child's entire hand with white acrylic paint.  Let the child grab the ornament with their hand (carefully).  Once dry, paint hat, scarf and button embellishments with a tiny paintbrush.

For best results, hang to dry.

Don't forget to add child's name/initials and date/year!

Christmas Recipe Gift Idea

This is a fun and savvy way to give away your favorite recipe as a Christmas gift!

First, get out your favorite recipe and type it out as I have:

You will need the dry ingredients, some cute cooking utensils (I used measuring spoons), a festive hand towel, some ribbon (I used burlap) and of course, the giant glass measuring cup.

Place the hand towel in the measuring cup first, then add all the goodies!  Don't forget your recipe!

Violá.  You have the perfect gift for a teacher, friend, neighbor or anyone that likes to cook!

Merry Christmas, sassy chef!

A Sassy Southern Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in the South is a grand get-together (which is our word for event).  It's one of the best times of the year, right up there with Christmas.  

This unique centerpiece was very easy to make and looks great on any table.

Add 1 bag of cranberries to the vase with water, an assortment of bright flowers (yellow is pretty, and white will be pretty for Christmas), and use evergreen leaves and twigs from your yard.

The centerpiece for this table is a cornucopia which I have filled with pumpkins of all colors and sizes, a fern plant, and some stems of berries for texture.  Tie a burlap bow around the base and viola!

Since this table was not very wide, I used some extra crystal stemmed glasses as centerpieces.  I carried over my cranberry and yellow theme, filling the glasses with water and cranberries and adding petite yellow roses.  I used three glasses because things are always best done in odd numbers, one, three, five...

Here, I spray painted the inside of what were clear glass pumpkins with silver glass mirror paint.  Again, I used the cranberry and yellow flowers as pretty additions.

ACORNS!  These yummy fall treats were easier than pie to make!  You will need:

1 bag Hershey Kisses

1 bag mini Nutter Butter

1 bag regular chocolate chips

1 can chocolate frosting

All you do is connect everything with chocolate frosting!  The kids go nuts for them ;)
