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.
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!
