My putz houses are made in three sizes. The largest size is ORIGINAL which is approximately 5-6″ tall. It is the size I draw all new patterns. MINI is 3-4″ tall. To get this size, I copy an pattern at 75% of its original size. TINY MINI is up to 2″ tall, and is copied […]

I realized I have only one Christmas Tree Farm Lot in my Etsy shop. I drew a few new patterns last week and this is the first edition of this pattern. The putz measures 6 7/8″ wide by 5 1/8″ deep. The structure is 4 1/2″ tall as measured from the bottom of the base […]

This MINI size spring house is from the same pattern as the winter house I made last week. I scalloped the front of the roof on the spring house and added divided window panes rather than the larger ones used in the winter house. The base of the spring house measures 6 1/2″ wide by […]

This house came together more slowly than usual. I finished it last night, and listed it in my Etsy shop. The link can be found at the end of the post. This house is the first edition of this pattern, which I drew in February of this year. When I am designing a new pattern, […]

A light went out in my heart and life on July 20. God called my father home to Heaven after 91 productive years on this earth. Dad worked hard all his life. When he turned 75, he gave his business to my two brothers and “retired,” but Dad never quit going to work. He was […]
This is the second edition of the pattern 071924. The first one is the blue winter house. The autumn house features fall leaves, sunflowers and four pumpkins. The putz is 6 1/4″ wide by 4 1/2″ and 5 3/4″ tall, as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the chimney. The […]
This house is made from a pattern I drew last week. I love the way it turned out. Right down to the gorgeous aqua blue color. When I chose the card to use as the base, I assumed I would use the red and gold colors on the card as they are the most prevelent. […]
This summer house features a handcrafted wooden picket fence, a floral arbor with a tiny butterfly, and a budding vine growing on the house. The putz is 4 3/8″ wide by 6″ deep. It is 5 1/2″ tall, as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the chimney. The base is […]
Adding an evergreen hedge to a Putz house adds extra color and a change of pace from a fence cut from poster board. A hedge can be put around the yard, against a building or along a sidewalk. My personal preference is the evergreen that has some brown in it. Completely green is fine, too. […]
I finished the winter church yesterday. The faux snow (Aleene’s True Snow) takes a few hours to set and a few days to completely dry. I photographed it today, but it won’t be ready to ship for a few more days. The church features a snow-covered winter tree and a surrounding hedge. The base is […]
