The pefect little Christmas gift {emphasis on little}

I've started a new series in my handcrafted treasures and here's a sneaky peek - it's a tiny little Christmas tree - in the nick of time!  Just four and a half inches tall.  This one is for sale here and I'll be taking custom orders for just a little while... psst... Christmas is coming! 

Nana and I used to make these in the 70's... before they had craft stores!!!  I have kits in my shop to make the Pinecone Trees {click here to shop}.  If you are interested in my finished pieces {like this tree} or requesting a tree in custom colors - shoot me an email at theWoolAcorn@gmail.com

Mirror, mirror on the wall

I have a friend whose husband (about 40) started exercising out of the blue.  Being fit and working out was always a big part of her life, she teaches the darn classes.  She had buns of steel.  But he had buns of cinnamon.  So here he was, working out and trying to lose a few pounds.... she started to wonder.  We all know this is not a good sign.  So, after several weeks of looking at him with a raised eyebrow, she finally asked.  What gives?  Turns out they had just remodeled their master bathroom.... and she had them install wall to wall mirrors.  Every bit of the bathroom reflected your naked everything each time you took a shower.  He was feeling the heat.  I personally would not make that choice - purely for the housekeeping issues (right).  But here are some more reasonable choices.

Ready for Thanksgiving?

I made these a few weeks ago by needle and wet felting the wool into balls, drilling holes in real acorn caps and threading them with satin ribbon.... They make perfect napkin rings and a great hostess gift.  If you don't want to make them yourself, you can order from The Wool Acorn.  The napkin rings can be made in a wide range of colors to match your decor with different colored ribbons and nuts to match - or not!  At just $2.40 each, they're a super thrifty way to pull all your colors together and add a great touch of charm!  Or take that hostess with the mostess a handful of acorns (although they come tagged and packaged in a cellophane bag) and she could put them anywhere!  Click here to see more colors or email for a special color request!

Each acorn is handmade and can be customized with a broad range of colors.  I haven't even photographed them all so feel free to shoot me an email if your colors are anything from hot pink to mustard yellow to chocolate brown!  We can figure it out and get what you need in time for the holidays!
