7th Annual DG Christmas Workshop!!!! General Chat

going out tonight..little more detail in the one I did but can be easily simplified..have to go looking for some pretty felt for socks..mine I think has sparkly diamonds

Can't wait to see what we're working on.

I keep wanting to hit the "Like" button !!!

lol
guess I better hurry and head for the back shed

Nobody but nobody should have 26 totes, 2 boxes of Christmas treasures and a corner of primitive pieces..went through as best I could but couldn't find the snowman without emptying each bin.

Rita who is staying with me for a bit did the piece years ago so she is looking on her computer...

I will try looking again tomorrow night

Trust me though he's cute

Oh Barb I am so happy to read Sean still wants to join Grammy in the craft. Woo hoo!

I'll mail the money on Monday Betty. I don't want a letter sitting in a Canada Post office over a weekend. lol Wonder why?
Dianne

Spoke to the young man who guaranteese me nothing will be sent back while I'm away..here is hoping.

Rita sent me a photo from here files but for the life of me I can't seem to save it..gives me no option..I'll be in tote boxes tonight if I can't lol

here's Mr. Snowman..best photo I could get till I find the piece in my totes

That is cute!

Too cute, how tall is it?

I made a fence post scarecrow many years ago that was cute too. I gave it to my daughter and it was stolen off her porch.

maybe a tad over 2'

his shoes are 3" thick so he stands well on his own

Oh, I love that snowman! Can't wait to do it. I have to wait till I get paid on the 1st to send money!

not a problem Julie...

My $ will be in the mail on Monday....

copying tracings for you all re snowman..my step 1

Betty, will that fit in a flat rate box?

I'm not sure LindaKay..have to get the sizes and prices of medium/large flat rate box..

the post office attendant one year was so kind, recommended that I wrap the package, he would give me price on mailing and depending on the price have a second label made, if more than flat rate then put pkg in the flat rate box, if cheaper mail without flat rate.

Although his body is less than 1" thick, his shoes are about 1 1/2-3" and his body is made of MDF so quite heavy..

NOTES:


This snowman project is called:

SENT FROM HEAVEN, ONE FLAKE AT A TIME

In the box I will include:
wood project pieces
graphite paper (for tracing pattern)
tracing pattern
wire to attach arms to body
pair of felt socks -decorative felt
either raffio or small twine for hanging signs and decorate shoes
looking for set of small pod which has 6 colors in it for painting scarf
*** the longer part of scarf is dimentional and gets glued on afterwards
hoping to find checkeerboard stencil at a Dollar Store

Still checking entire kit cost to see if I can send the off white/black/brown paint needed to paint him that a ????

I will add from time to time what supplies you may need and checking what you may have for the project!!


YOU WILL NEED:


If you don't feel confident enough to use a small liner to make lines and paint wording
it would be good to have a permanent fine tip marker..keyword PERMANENT so it doesn't
run..one should be enough

old toothbrush to splatter light snow on the piece when finished

toothpicks

Betty, I have paints here!

that will help then, it's not so much $$$ as I can get the large off white and black from $$ Store but its the bulk for shipping

I have paints also....

thanks..but do you have off white for the body?

If I don't, I'll find it or make it!!!!

marked you both above stating you have paints..will help out a lot
actually he's one of my favorite pieces

Linda and a few girls have been calling, all looking to do their annual christmas craft, have to check which days I have available and think I'd do this project as well

Bessie, I have paints too....And if my white isn't just right, I can add a tad bit of brown and mix well. It gives it the antique look.

Bessie appreciates it Debbie lol

To quote our Debbie "I have paints too Bessie"
Dianne

you are making it easy on me girls...

We do try to do that - that's for sure. Looking forward to this....

I also look forward to crafting with you all

I have tons of paint here. So no need to send me any. I really wish I had the funds to get two kits. Miss Goober would love this. Wonder if I could cut my own wood?? I have mdf here too. hummmmm....

Forgot to say I am very excited to do the snowman.. I love snowmen!!!!
