Dog and Cat ornaments for 2011

I am getting ready for the craft show at Mt Abraham High School in Bristol Vermont.  My mothers home town.  We have spent the past few days cutting these cat and dog angel ornaments out and getting them ready for the show.  I brought 2 in to work to see how they would be accepted and took orders for enough to keep me busy for the next few weeks. These have been cut from brown maple and walnut.

 The pattern for these is the work of Diana Thompson.  I have become a fan of hers she does a great job with the patterns and the creativity.  I wish I had seen these patterns earlier so I could have cut a lot more out before the holiday season snuck up on me.
    Today I will be going to my third craft show this season, three down and four to go.  So far the season has been a pretty good one.  I am hoping this trend continues for the rest of the season.   Our two largest shows and the first week end in December.  Those are also our last two shows.  Next year I may try expanding some more.
   As Christmas sneaks up on us I am starting to get geared up and get ready for my favorite time of the year.  I am a kid again at Christmas time.  Both of our daughters are planning on being home for Christmas and we could not be happier.  My oldest daughter Cassie  has agreed to help me in my favorite tradition of helping Santa out with the stocking stuffer shopping.   This adventure is a day long event with fun shopping and normally some great food.  Our youngest daughter Dani will be coming home from Baltimore for a few days as well.
   Mom is coming over for a few days also.  Our tiny house will be full to the brim and we could not be happier.
