Hello Friends! Thanks for stopping by!
Have you been a busy elf getting ready for Christmas?
I was determined to make ornaments for my She Shed. I saw a gal on Instagram make Clay Ornaments so she was my inspiration! Her name is Trisha @frenchflairfarmhouse_
They were easy to make. The only requirement is Patience! Time is needed for the clay to dry and harden. (2-3 days.) Then again patience is needed for the paints to dry. After all that… its time to decorate!
I used Crayola Air Dry Clay from Michaels. I purchased the terracotta color as I have plans for the remainder of the clay for another project. The terracotta color will be perfect for it.
Roll out the clay like you would for making cookie cutouts. I learned that making the clay thick is better than thin. I placed freezer paper under the clay and over the clay while rolling it out. I did not want the clay to stain my counter or rolling pin.
Time to Decorate!
I then decorated the window area of the She Shed. I added them to my chandelier as well. This little place of mine brings me Joy! And that’s what Christmas is supposed to do… bring us Joy. Don’t forget to enjoy the little things during the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Season.
Here She is all decorated for Christmas!
And here she is in the early morning light.
We enjoy seeing her at night as well!
Thank You!
As I always try to convey… we certainly appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
We wish all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this Holiday Season brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.

Looking beautiful, and thanks for all the tips on the ornaments. I can’t believe we are so close to the actual holiday. Time has flown this month. 🎄
Time has flown! I’m glad I took the time to make these, as now I will always have them.
With the rest of the clay, I will make herb markers for my herb garden.
Thanks for enjoying them right along with me.
Merry Tuesday!
Oh….the last pic of your she-shed at night…charming! Almost as much as your lovely tablescape within. Thanks, Nancy. Beautiful! 🥰
Thanks so much, Victora! 🎄 Merry Tuesday!🎄
Beautifully decorated, Nance! My inner punster is making me ask if your Arizona property is a He Shed, She Shed location. Ba-da-boom. You can see me in these comments every Tuesday.
You gave me my first giggle this morning!
Merry Tuesday Mr. Mark!
What a great project Nancy! I really love the gingerbread men best (but don’t tell the other shapes I said that…).
They all like each other so its all good!
Merry Tuesday! 🎄
Your ornaments are darling Nancy! What fun and I love the puffy paint! Your She Shed looks very Merry indeed, what a fun and fabulous cozy spot to enjoy~ the count down to Christmas has begun!
Jenna
We are on a countdown for sure! I am glad you enjoyed the project!
Merry Tuesday Jenna!
Your She Shed is delightful. So colorful, inviting and comfortable.
Thanks, Tim!
Merry Tuesday!
Luv it! They are all so festive. I especially love your snowflake, but they all go so well with your other collections. Well done, and thanks for the inspiration.
I am so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you and Merry Tuesday to you!
Fabulous as always Nanc! You are such an inspiration!
Thank you! Sending great big hugs to you!
Your she-shed is without doubt, the cutest ever. I love it all — the wood walls, the red and white, your pretty table and the wonderful ornaments. Thanks for the hints – you’re right; the waiting is the hardest! I love how you decorated them — a very Scandi feel that I like very much. What a joyful place. I’d spend all day, every day out here!
Oh, Jeannie, you made my day! I am so glad you enjoyed my happy place!
Merry Tuesday to you!
Oh My Gosh, Nancy. I just love your She Shed and adore your new decorations. How do you drag yourself away from it? And (I know I’ve seen it before but . . .) I’m blown away by the fact that your She Shed has a chandelier 🥰🤶🎄🤶🥰
We got that chandelier at a garage sale. As soon as I saw it… I knew it was perfect!
Thank you so much for enjoying my happy place!
Merry December to you!
Oh my goodness, Nancy, your she-shed is so glamorous! I LOVE all those decorations and the fact you made the clay ornaments! You make it look very easy. My she-shed is lucky to have two potting tables, two windows with curtains, and a sofa, LOL! It’s a little cold for me to putter in there but it mostly acts as storage for my boxes of home decor. At least Hans insulated and drywalled it all and I painted it. Your place is very inspiring! Merry Christmas and enjoy your little red and green slice of heaven 😉
Thanks, Terri! I hope you can get into your She Shed soon.
Merry Tuesday to you!
❤️💚
Nancy, everything looks so beautiful and joyful in your she shed. The homemade ornaments are so pretty! I remember making salt dough ornaments with my kids when they were little. Wishing you a merry week, sweet friend!
Thank you so much, Shannon! Merry December!
It is always fun to see what you do with your She Shed. I love the ornaments you made for it. They turned out really well. Thanks for sharing them with us, and enjoy your cute little retreat!
Thank you so much for enjoying my happy place!
Merry December!
You have the decorating gene, Nancy. Your ornaments remind me of when our daughters were growing up and we were homeschooling. We and another family made dough ornaments which turned out beautifully, even though they took WAY longer to bake than the recipe said. However, we still have them 20+ years later and they still look beautiful. 😍
How sweet it is that you have those ornaments from 20 years ago! Sweet memories!
Thank you for your thoughtful comments! Merry December!
Nancy, the clay ornaments are beautiful and they definitely make a statement in your she shed. It is decorated so beautifully and invites one to come inside your cozy happy place! I would love to enjoy tea or coffee in your darling Christmas wonderland! You have outdone yourself dear one!
Awe Pam… thank you! Your kindness is so sweet!
Merry December to you!
Nancy, I love how you decorated your she shed and the rest of your home. So festive and fun! Your clay ornaments are so cute! Well done! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Thank you Beth! How kind of you!
Merry December!
Nancy, how cute. I love your she shed, and your ornaments are so creative. You and Terri are so much alike in the decorating world. I didn’t get many decorating genes. We did a tiny bit of decorating in both places. But Vince goes for minimalism.
Thank you for enjoying! And thank you for such kind words! I just love to decorate!
Merry December!
You have a She Shed??? I now look like the Grinch I am so jealous. You decorated so festively. And you made it look so easy, which I am sure, it is not. Sending a big Christmas hug. The Green with envy Grich.
I am so happy you like my She Shed! Because it is my happy place!
I enjoy decorating it for every season.
Thank you for all the love!
Merry December!
