I have been working on my Putz houses this week and they are coming along well. I’ve really enjoyed to the work. I just threw these on the tiered cupcake holder to give you an idea of what I have in mind. This is no where near the final look I’m going for. The stand […]
I’ve managed to make a couple of Putz houses. I want to make several more of these to put together in a little village display for Christmas. Here’s one I made a week or so ago. The pattern came from the web site Little Glitter Houses. Yesterday I tried my hand at a larger, more […]
