Lisa from LovinTheGoodOleDays shop on Etsy has perfected the art of creating lovely old-fashioned accessories and useful items for the home. We picture her at her sewing machine, creating ornaments, checkbook covers, oven mitts, and – when she sits down at her serger – sweater dresses and other upcycled fashion pieces! Today we feature her Christmas tree ornaments – one of her popular items for the holiday season:

Are you a talented crafter with a limited budget? There’s no time like the present to begin planning for your DIY holiday season. If you plan now, you can order your supplies in the next few weeks, and begin your knitting, sewing, baking and creating in the autumn months. Plenty of time for the holidays!
There are a wide variety of options to match every skill set, but four clear winners rise to the top when it comes to DIY categories of gifts people love to receive:
1) Knitted or crocheted items have never gone out of style. Here is one of our own most popular (and most Pinned) DIY projects, from our very own AddSomeStitches:
2) Photographs can be crafted into so many different gifts – from jewelry to coasters! This great blog post from Listotic includes a number of great ideas for DIY gifts using photographs, as well as a number of other great ideas:

This is the time of year when those of us who are artsy or craftsy begin hankering for the holidays. How early is TOO early to begin taking the holiday decorations out of storage? When can we begin knitting, crocheting, hammering or painting the handmade gifts we’ll be wrapping up or stuffing in stockings? The answer is different for everybody (just as the holidays we celebrate may be different), but the treasuries here may put you in the mood for Halloween or Christmas…

The members of the DTeam have been sharing Santa stories in the team’s monthly chat thread. Some made us laugh and others were so heartwarming they brought tears to our eyes. We thought we would share some of those stories with our blog followers over a series of posts. We hope you enjoy them and feel free to leave a comment telling us your Santa stories!
Elephant Beads has a story about Santa being forgetful. I am guessing Santa was just tired from all the hard work that goes on during the month of December!
My “Santa magic” story: Two years ago (my son was 7), my son woke up in the morning & discovered Santa’s wrapped up gifts under the tree. He was in the midst of opening them when I realized I HADN’T INCLUDED the most important Santa gift – a Captain America action figure I’d gotten on eBay at the 11th hour! I pulled my husband aside and we concocted a solution. So my son, who has the memory of an elephant (LOL), gets done opening gifts & realizes Santa forgot the Captain America…. bummer! We try to come up with reasons he might have forgotten, or maybe he ran out of Captain Americas, or whatever…
Then right after breakfast, my husband went out in the backyard and came running back into the house: “Hey Trevor! There’s something in the back yard!” Lo and behold, there’s a package in the middle of the yard – Captain America! We all just figured it fell off the sleigh while Santa was landing. Totally cinched Trev’s belief in Santa!
My husband and his friends have since adopted a different family that are down on their luck every year and take turns playing Santa. As they get older they have started including their sons (at least for the drop off) My boys can’t wait for their turn.

And another Santa and reindeer story:
My stepdad would leave me notes from Santa with some crazy stuff that I should have known it was him. Like that Santa prefers wine instead of a glass of milk. I used to leave cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Well he took the carrots, went outside in the snow and chewed them all up and spit them out all over the drive way. The next morning he pretended to go outside for who knows what and came running back into the house to find me and show me the most amazing thing outside.
