I'm back to my home sweet home and settling back into my regular life, if there is such a thing.
Remember a while back when I talked about wanting to make a Putz village? Well, I know you thought I was all talk, but that's not so...
I did manage to make one house before I lost my momentum. I ended up using the directions from BHG, except that I made it half the size and changed a few details.
It's pretty much complete except for some landscaping (trees and such). I do intend to make at least 2 more before Christmas, but for now I've put them aside. It was fun to make but very detailed and time consuming.
Do you like the little train decoration in the front yard? My husband shook his head like "only you..." when I repainted it to fit the color scheme of my future village. :)

Squeeeee! How cute! Did you use cardstock? What did you make the fence from? Details, woman! I need details! This is the kind of minutely-detailed project I can throw myself behind. What did you use for the "snow"?
It is so adorable.

I love it. Even if it takes a long time to make, you can let your village grow slowly and not feel rushed to have it all built for this Christmas! Love that color too.

SO cute! Are you doing red and turquoise? Because I really love that combo. That looks tedious and beautiful!

Oh, that's so beautiful. What a wonderful Christmas decoration that will be.
I'd love to make something like that, but I don't think I have the patience :-)

Your house is sooo beautiful. Such a pretty shade of blue. You could probably get away with it as an Easter decoration too!
