Here are a couple of Perler bead owls.
I saw a similar one recently, and will post the link when I locate it. I think the purple one needs some changing, so haven't ironed them yet.
Hope you like them.

The cards this year all look alike on the outside.
I scanned some fabric and printed it on colored card stock. The insides are all different, however, courtesy of my grandson.

Oops, I should have posted these before the God's Eyes.

Continuing my adaptation from jeancats' design (see Nov.18th).

Seems strange to show the original - because how on Earth did I go from a little round ornament with a band, to the newest ones which are supposed to be 'God's Eyes?!
LOL
Looked at one after another you can see the progression, but it's so funny if you just look at the first and last.

Not even a mouse...
Perler bead mice, gingerbread house and a replica of a German ornament we had when I was a child.

A rainbow of Korean doll bookmarks.
Cut from the sides of movie-size Mike&Ike boxes. You can get 2 from each side, or 4 from each box,
Colored with permanent markers.

I came across a picture of the ornaments I made for a Christmas Exchange in 2007, and realized I had never posted them.
-
I went out in the yard and pulled Morning Glory vines, removed the leaves, formed the wreaths, and set them to dry in the sun on the henhouse roof.

The figures are apples from our tree made into sauce, then mixed half and half with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves. I put 2 Tablespoons of white glue in there too. Mixed the dough, let it set for a while and cut out with mini cookie cutters. Let dry for a few days.

Brought in the dry wreaths, wrapped them with satin and/or glittery ribbon. When the figures were dry, accented them with satin and/or glittery fabric paint. Let everything dry, and try to match the centers with a nice wreath. Tie them together.

That's about it.

We didn't make many decorations for Halloween, but I did make this foil helmet with ray deflectors for one of the costumes.

The owls from this year
and last,
on the wall.
The four owls from this year
were fused into a diagonal.

The second set of new owls.

I found a cross-stitch pattern as inspiration, but changed it so much one could never tell which one it was!

A chill is beginning to creep into the air early in the morning...

Fall must be coming.
