I finished this little white and blue church today. I had put it on the base and added the fence a few weeks ago, but had set it aside. It slipped my mind until I saw it today while clearing space on the craft counter. Decided to finish it.
The foliage is pink and a sort of blue/green. Not really teal.
The two small bottle brush trees are decorated with pink beads.
I’ll post it to my Etsy shop, ChristmasNotebook, tomorrow.
Besides the Putz church, I have this little brown and green house ready for embellishments. I have added the snow to the roof…just didn’t get a picture of that. I’ll try to get the house done in the next day or two.
A week or so ago, I had finished a custom order. The customer had given me a few things to add to it, so I completed that today. I love the way this turned out.
I also baked Peppermint Meltaways today. They are ready for the freezer. I packed a box with four kinds of cookies and a few other goodies for DD. DH mailed it for me.
Tomorrow, a friend is coming to help me decorate the “glass” tree (all spun glass and molded glass ornaments) and my dear daughter-in-law is coming to help with Christmas prep, as well. It should be a good day!
A big event tomorrow (Wednesday) is the opening of Breath of Eden Country Store. Among their wares are some of my Putz houses and Christmas ornaments that I have made. If you’re local, I hope you will stop by for their grand opening!

I am a new reader to your blog. I have been wanting to get started making my own Putz houses and found you on a Google search. I have since proceeded to read back through about 20 pages of your posts 🙂 I love all your tutorials and seeing all your creations. (And I have printed a couple of your recipes to try!) Do you have any way to subscribe to get notices of new posts by email?
Hi Rhonda! I love how you added pink in the embellishments for the blue and white church and, as you know, I love the yellow and gray set of three! It looks great!
Thank you, Laney!

Rhonda, I’m a long time follower of your blog. I think I look forward to seeing your Putz houses and churches as much as your trees each year. Your first custom order is beautiful, just beautiful!
