Animal Crossing New Horizon Photos: Winter and Christmas

Photos of Winter wonderland and Christmas festivity of my village

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!
Hope everyone is having safe and exciting holiday!

There was my friend's Christmas party that they planned to have ornament exchange so I decided to do handmade ornament to participate. Sadly the party got cancelled cuz of the announcement of province's indoor capacity restriction.

Sooo to make good use of it, I've decided to add this ornament to my tree instead.
 





I made this Murakami Flower Christmas Ornament, made for the party host. Hope they like it!

Summer Bag

It's winter now and I didn't post this early enough before the summer ends....
Just while ago, Michael Kor had nice summer raffia bag, it looked really cute with that white stitch on the strap so I gave a try to make my own version.

Leather straps are from unwanted leather jackets from friends and I repurposed them for this project. 





I got these Raffia yarns from Wool And The Gang. This yarn is made from paper so I thought it would tear easier but it has a same strength as regular yarn. So one strand of yarn can tear with a pull but once you crochet, it becomes tough material. This goes with paper raffia yarn. Haven't tested if this is actually waterproof but I'll let it happen when it rains on it.









Quick and easy way to make waxed thread(for the strap) is grab crochet yarn and rub the thread against the bee wax.

I keep all my bee wax candles, like the leftover bottom when you finish using candles. There's always a way to re-purpose these.





So this waxed thread is hand stitched across the leather strap.







The metal buckles are from dog collars that I got from Target's liquidation sale where they were $1 for a collar.

Leaf Girl

Little while back I had a commission to do wedding illustration. I was inspired by the brushes I did in this illustration so I wanted to do another painting with my anime girl.

Photos of Halloween theme of my village and some memorable moment in my childhood.











Build small apple farm where I used to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family by going apple picking every year. We picked apples and have apple cider while we go on a Hayride.
