Penguin Lifesavers

I've made snowmen lifesavers for a number of years so it was time to change it up a bit. I created a penguin wrap, made about a dozen penguins and then lost the file, 'cause I'm smart that way. Thankfully I'd created enough to place at each place setting for our holiday dinner. I did end up changing it up a bit more by replacing some of the top hats with snow hats made from knit gloves, glued a pom pom on top and replaced the bow tie with a scarf. Much faster. Honestly, the top hats, though very cute, were a bit of a pain.

Bah Humbug

I had some tootsie pops remaining from Halloween so I decided to get crafty. I'd seen the posts on Pinterest showing spiders made from suckers. Way cool though not exactly merry and good cheer for this time of year. I put my brain to work, rummaged through my stash and came up with...the Bah Humbug. They were a bit of extra work but I think they'll be a hit with my group.
