While we still have a little time before Jack Frost is truly nipping at our noses, the last days of fall are, unmistakably, here!
Personally, I love this time of year. Cool nights, crisp sunny days, and woodsmoke on the air — what’s not to love! Plus, early December means that the holidays are right around the corner.
To me, that means two things. One, it’s time to break out my casserole dish and start practicing this peach cobbler in anticipation of Christmas day feasting, and, two, I really need to start prepping my house for the holiday!
I already know that I’m going to make this stunning homemade candle for just about everybody on my wish list, but I haven’t even thought about decorations yet. Fortunately, at least one guy has a jump on the Christmas knick-knacks, and he’s giving me plenty of inspiration!
Jonathan Michael is a craftsman like any other, but, unlike most artisans, he has to deal with the inevitable truth that his beautiful creations will never stand the test of time. Michelangelo will always have David, but Mr. Michael’s art is not long for this world.
That’s because he works entirely in ice! No matter what he makes, it’ll be gone by spring without the intervention of a deep freezer. But for his latest project, nothing could be more perfect! That’s because, most recently, he decided to take hammer and chisel to an ice block in celebration of the “most wonderful time of the year,” by making a statue of Santa Claus! Check out the artist at work below!
And if I’m not the only one getting lofty ideas about my Christmas display this year, please SHARE this fun and beautiful design on Facebook!
