Crafty Christmas II

I've been building houses again. Into the Christmas baskets they will go, so advert your eyes family members! I'm thinking about doing a series of mid-century modern ceramic houses next..... I'm calling my series, "Welcome to DeluxeVille"....of course. :-) I'll let you all know when that happens....hmmm I think I smell a DeluxeVille giveaway idea!!

It's house time
"The people living in the valley always had the strange feeling they were being watched!"

The lights are on, but no one's home!

luminary houses for Christmas presents

I opted for plain colorful houses because I just didn't have the time to create intricate designs like my Starry Starry Night house. The house's shapes are all based on the same template, but I changed them up a little to make them each a bit different. I was working on a limited time frame. Next year I will have to start my Christmas crafting earlier!

  7. Three weeks off for vacation right now cannot be beat!
    Cool pictures. So sad that one day the beautiful Deluxeville will be someone else's home.
    I really like the brick house as well as the house one step above. Reminds me of the Forchino art seriies of vintage cars. Whimsical and lotsa fun!
