Save your Corks!


If your holiday celebrations leave you with lots of corks, here's what you can do with them.... I saw this idea on Etsy... it's a cork trivet... All it takes is corks and some duct strapping and clamps... and you're ready for somewhere to put all your hot dishes.

Great Christmas Deal!






















We just marked down our We Believe stackers... they're a great handmade gift and a perfect holiday decor item... and for $10, they're a steal! We've also marked down our other Christmas stackers... photos attached! And an added bonus... they're made in Utah!

We've been discovered!

One of our items was selected to be part of an Etsy Treasury.... it's a great assortment of reindeer-related items. Our vintage reindeer cookie cutter made the cut! Check it out here.

Halle Berry's Hillside Home






























As I've mentioned, I love http://www.realestalker.blogspot.com/... it's all about celebrities and their real estate listings - not to leave out that the writers are hilarious. I recently came across this home owned by actress Halle Berry.... just love it. It's romantic, private and everything I'd imagine in a home when your budget is multi-million. It's currently listed for $5 million. Check out the amazing tub ... looks like it's made out of weathered wood. Wanted to share.

Winter Welcome Door Decal





If you have a cricut or another personal cutting machine, this Winter Welcome Door decal is an easy way to dress up your front door. You can also do it on your computer with colored paper and use double-sided tape to attach the decals. Here's the link for the template.... and the instructions. Happy Holidays!

Christmas Craft Idea


My Grandmother Eldean attempted to teach me how to crochet a few times... but I just couldn't pull it off. When I came across these adorable mug cozies, I wish I would have been a better student. The cozies add a welcoming and warm touch. I've also seen them wrapped around jar candles. Perfect, especially since it has been so cold.

For the silverware caddy, just find a cute knit mitten for those of us who can't whip one up ourselves.

Downtown Gingerbread Home Contest


Don't forget! Downtown Tooele businesses are hosting a gingerbread contest. There's more than 12 homes on display at different downtown merchants. You can pick up a ballot at homebodies and grab a list of all the places to go to see and judge the gingerbread homes. Our gingerbread home was created by Holiday Inn Express & Suites. It has a lot of detail, including a wreath above the door and a big sign out front. Thanks to the gals at Holiday Inn. Make sure to stop by and cast your vote!

Monkey Business at the Children's Justice Center












Homebodies is so grateful to have had the opportunity to decorate and donate a Christmas tree for the Children's Justice Center. The center helps our community in so many ways and we wanted to thank them for all they do. For the tree, we incorporated shiny plastic ball ornaments in green and red, a selection of our knit ornaments (knit balls, mittens) and found some fun paper and knit monkey ornaments to give it a playful appeal for children. Thanks to the gals at the CJC - Jamie, Carolyn and Kari - for letting us bring a little Christmas spirit to the center.

Christmas Craft Idea


Whenever I come across felt, I just stare at it, with no idea what to do with it. Fortunately, there's other people that have come up with some fantastic felt ideas. Here's one that will dress up your holiday table... felt stocking flatware holders.
