Merry Christmas!

Miniature House, Front View, originally uploaded by confections.

This miniature house is one of my recent birthday presents, handmade by my two sisters from patterns in a Better Homes and Garden magazine. Since my birthday is two weeks before Christmas Eve, I have always received Christmas-y presents around this festive occasion.

This mica-frosted confection has a place of honor under my Christmas tree this year. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas in Southern California! Hope your celebration is joyful! Happy New Year 2008!

This poster heralds a fiber arts trunk show that will take place at the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn, New York, on November 16th. Members of the Etsy Fiber Arts Street Team (EtsyFAST) are participating online as well in our individual shops. Thanks, Sweety Prize for uploading the EtsyLabs poster to flickr.

Beginning today (November 1st) and continuing through the 16th of November, Etsy fiber artists are featuring sales on fibery goodness. If you haven't checked out Etsy yet, now is the time.

Once you get over there, you can search using the tag "EtsyFAST" to find delightful items. Please see this very informative post by fellow fiber artist Fearless Fibers for tips on how to create your very own wish list on Etsy for yourself or loved ones.

Happy Stocking Stuffing!
