after some blog difficulties, i’m back with new putz houses

I think the blog problems have been ironed out. I had troubles in December, and again the past few months. In the mean time, I have made a lot of new Putz houses. Here are a few of them.

I draft all my own patterns. Lately, I’ve been making three sizes. ORIGINAL, which is 100% of the original pattern size. MINI, which is copied at 75% of the original, and TINY MINI which is 50% of the original.

This barn is a TINY MINI.

I particularly like the dark fence around this barn, which was made to mimic the one on the Christmas card I used to make the base.

This sweet, pale blue, country church is a TINY MINI. It was in my Etsy shop for a while, but I love it so much, I removed it for my own collection.

Tiny Mini Light Teal and Brown Church

The base is made from a vintage Christmas card. This is one of my favorites.

This TINY MINI now lives in Ohio.

When the lights are on, the Putz houses come to life.

Another TINY MINI. I enjoy making this size. They are SO cute when finished.

This TINY MINI begged to be made when I saw the picture on the Christmas card. It’s one of the few I have made without window frames. I thought they would detract from the overall look of the Putz.

The Putz house is 1″ wide, 3/4″ deep, and 2 1/2″ tall.

The three peaked house is also a TINY MINI version.

I have a lot more to post, but will stop here for now. I hope you have enjoyed a look at some of my TINY MINI Putz houses.

I am always happy to answer questions about the process. Please ask, if you are wondering about the details of putzing!

All proceeds from my Etsy shop benefit Kenya Mercy Ministries. They work with the urban poor of Nairobi, Kenya, particularly the children and their families who live in Kibera, the largest slum in Africa. Thank you for your part in helping these children when you purchase items from my shop!
