Cypress Knees





Here's what can be done with Cypress Knees!

These are some examples of what I used to do with my spare time in the days B C ! (Before Computer!)
Yep! Another FUNNY from my husband- that 'Before Computer' title!

I DO miss doing these crafts and want to get back into it...but now there's this Blogging thing to deal with! :)

Anyway-hope you enjoy the pics!

Junie, I LOVE THESE! They're beautiful. I'm a huge arts and crafts person too! Haven't done much the last few years either. I used to a LOT of knitting and crocheting too...not so much anymore. Blogging has replaced a lot of things. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pieces.

Joy,

Thanks! Yes, I was really into crafting a few years ago and not only these Cypress santas. I also did papier mache santas and other figures and a lot of gourd work! At times I would be working into the wee hours of morning to fill orders I had taken for Santas!
...and I have also been into crochet work but never did learn how to knit!

If nothing else I think I will make for myself a gourd birdhouse - SOON! I made a lot of them to sell and as gifts but never kept one for myself!

That is the way life is June. The proverbial Shoemaker's son went barefoot. We made candles, pillars and figurines, for a time and sold or gave away most of them.. Now it is knit or crochet things or we make jam to again give away. But I do manage to keep a few jars of jam for our use.

The Santas are beautiful and I'm sure you are proud of them.

Thanks,

I have kept several of my santas- of all the kinds I made, and yes, I am proud of them! I'm a BIG santa person, anyway, so just got the idea to start making them! Went a little wild for awhile..lol- as I tend to do with things !

..but I never kept a gourd bird house and they are nice! Most of the ones I made were the Sunflower design, but I did make a few Tropical ones with Palm trees and sail boats! :) That was a special requests from a lady in south Florida!

Lol- I had one friend who wanted a John Lennon gourd figure or bowl, but I never tried to do that! I guess I was afraid of disappointing her as she is a Beatles Fanatic!! :)

My most prized possession is a fine crochet tablecloth that my mom made when she was pregnant with me... She felt it fitting to give it to me because of the time she made it! I treasure it!
