@roler, your creatures are adorable and amazing as always. I’m especially partial to the polar bear (his sweater!) and penguin (that candy cane!)
@craftADDchick, a mug cozy is such a great idea. My hands get cold really easily, so I bet it would be great for cold drinks, too. And those brownies look delicious. Sounds like they would tick a lot of boxes for me.
Now that’s my kind of shadow box!

So how did the brownies taste? They look delicious. You’re lucky we can’t reach through our computer/phone screens and nab those

They were delicious! I was hoping to take the extras home, but they were gone by the end of the day

Brief Description: This shadowbox features some miniatures that I made, including a fruit pie. Which is pretty close to a fruitcake. Sort of. It has fruit. But not figs, and since that is the other option, we’re going with fruit cake.

@Bunny1kenobi I like the mixture of words and miniatures in your shadowboxes. And the candlestick tree is a really clever idea.

That’s really cool, and feels like it was probably a bear to put together.
Also, I know it’s probably just a spiral notebook, but it kinda looks like he has a corkscrew coming out of his head and I like it

Yep, just a spiral notebook! And also yes, a bit of a bear to assemble. But I think it turned out ok.

Project Name: Mincemeat “Pies”

Brief Description: For Christmas dinner, my mom wanted mincemeat pie, but we didn’t have enough mincemeat or pie crust (and neither of us wanted to make more), so I cut the pie crust into little rectangles and attempted to make mini hand pies. They looked more like pie wontons, but they still tasted good. I went with figgy pudding because one ingredient is raisins.
