Creepy Ornament Party + Cute Doxies!
We got a late start on our annual tradition of creating ornaments this year. At last count, we were going to make one for each of our 8 years together. Last year we made a blue bird, fried chicken drumstick, pink snuggie, christmas tree, star, and yellow popple. For other people, I made a fly fishing vest, a leopard snuggie and a candy cane.
Our good pals came over last night for pizza, ornament making and eggnog spiked with Snap liquor. Mike rounded out our count of 8 ornaments with the creepiest elf ever (and boyfriend to Shona's scary ornament), and a sweet pink and white candy cane. Olivia made a cute ornament of her greyhound Salty, and inspired me to make canine ornaments for my cousins in NYC.
They have 2 rescue daschunds named Mr. and Mrs. Beasley. I adore my cousins and the dogs, so thought they deserved their own ornaments. Mr. B had a health scare too, so I thought this could cheer them up a bit.
Here are their names with some holly (inspired by ornaments my Mom and Godmother made with felt back in the 70s!).
And the back! I will not lie. I am damn proud of these ornaments. The colors are lovely, and they're just so cute!
I may have a few more ornaments left in me this year. Here's hoping!
Oh, and the fourth member of our group made his own creepy ornament to put Mike's to shame. It may have been my idea, to commemorate a Halloween costume that our friend made to document the trash and chicken bones that are constantly littering our street...
Ah, Christmas cheer!

Scary angel asks that you not tease her with promises of a boyfriend, she's a bit lonely.
I'll tell Creepy Elf that he must Woo Scary Angel properly. After all, one can still be chivalrous and scary at the same time :)
Mike said, "Fine, do you want me to put him at the back of the tree?" after I complained that he was staring at me. hahahah. I said he could stay front and center.
Love your ornaments! You crack me up -:).
