4 cups of Walnut halves 3-4 Tablespoons of neutral oil (seed oils, avocado, etc) 1 Tablespoon of ground cinnamon 1 Teaspoon of Chinese five spice powder ¼ Teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1½ cups of Confectionery Sugar, packed. (~275 grams icing sugar) Preheat oven to 325⁰F/ 160⁰C. Lay out nuts in a single layer on a parchment or silicone lined jelly roll pan. Bake dry in oven for no more than 5 minutes. You want them lightly toasted, and warmed through-- not burnt! Pull out and transfer to a large bowl. Using a spoon coat the nuts in oil first, drizzling it in. When well coated add warm spices first. Gently stir again until buts are evenly coated in spices. Add sugar a few tablespoons at a time, stirring after each batch of sugar. Transfer back to the pan and spread out again until fully cool. [About 15 minutes]. Store in airtight containers, out of direct sunlight. Good for 2-3 months.

My kid wanted a Shovel Knight shirt for his birthday, so Shovel Knight he gets!

He's 13 and every year I make him and his sister birthday shirts with a theme. Usually there is some drama with things going wonky. This year did not disappoint.

Two wooden embroidery hoops hold a project each - the first features yellow canvas, on which there is embroidered a wooden branch with flowers in various bright colors, and two small green songbirds. The second pale pink canvas also has a tree branch, this time with flowers mainly red and pink and two blue and brown songbirds.

This picture features two embroidery hoops with projects within. The first features a pale orange-pink canvas with a series of tree branches with bright pink and red blossoms, with two small pink and blue birds nestled together on a lower branch. The second project is on pale green-blue canvas featuring tree branches with pink and white flowers, leaves, and two orange, white, and black songbirds

This is a closer look at the third listed, fourth completed, embroidery project. It is in a wooden embroidery hoop with pale orange-pink canvas 43_ and pink flowers, and two small orange and blue songbirds.

I made this set for my mother in law using a pattern/stencil. I deviated quite a bit, but seeing as it was my second ever embroidery project (the first being the necklaces) I was very happy with how it turned out!

I can't share this as yet on Instagram because it will spoil the surprise, but as I am pretty chuffed how they came out I'm sharing on here instead. I made some candle flowers for a good friend of mine. I hope to pass them on later today.

Been a while but here is a craft I made for a friend

Tree topper angel I made for my grandpa of my grandma. She passed last year and very stylish, so I had to make her tree topper form glamorous as well.

Closer look at the grandma angel. Gown is made of a shiny red fabric with black fur trim.

Triple angel tree topper for my aunt. Her ancient cat, horse, and best friend all died right before Christmas, so it was a bit of a rush job for this one. For her friend's hair, I couldn't find any yarns that looked right, so I ended up coloring each individual strand.

Close up of the cat angel.

With Christmas over, I can finally start sharing some of the gifts I made this year. Starting with tree toppers of dead loved ones.

The goal was definitely to make the recipients cry.

It's Christmas gift crafting time!

It's been forever since I painted consistently (high school), so these Christmas gnomes are full of technical mishaps. Jolly gnomes in red suits. If nothing else, it's nice to enjoy a quiet afternoon creating and reflecting.

Decided to try and get crafty 😁 works in progress.
They'll either be cherished or forgotten in the next move lol.

Any #crochet people out there that could help me find quick & easy presents for #gifts? Budget is tight this Christmas, so I may need to do mostly homemade gifts. Especially for 12 nieces & nephews aged 2-20. #homemadeChristmas #homemadegift
