December notes: craftyness

December has officially arrived, and even though the snow isn't here yet - which I am getting pretty impatient about - it's becoming more and more visible everywhere else you look.  Of course, with December comes prime crafty season, and just as much as I love making decorations and handmade gifts myself, I love to see what everyone else out there comes up with.  This lovely blogosphere is the perfect place to start.  Here's a short list of my favorites from around the blog world tonight:





Teensy terrariums, which are actually ornaments, via Cup of Jo (via Unruly Things).  Terrariums are all the rage these days, I tell you.






Gold leaf placecards.  These are technically a Thanksgiving craft, but I enjoy them nonetheless.  Via A Field Journal.


Cheerful printable gift tags over at Creature Comforts (one of my daily must-reads).  I love a good gifttag...thinking of trying these out with my 2-inch scalloped circle punch.

AND I saw this Jen Corace calendar on Design*Sponge today!  In case you don't recognize her artwork, she's the illustrator of Little Pea, Little Hoot and Little Oink, among many other wonderful books and publications.  I love her work, and I love that this calendar has a peek at some different mediums - a little pencil and some lighter watercolor, too.
