~ Creative Crafts and Gifts, Hand Made with Love! ~

Hello! I am Diane. I started these projects as a way to relax and be creative. I have gone through many "phases" including stained glass, toll painting, knit scarves, clay pot soldiers, and now Ornaments. I hesitate to say Christmas ornaments because, while they traditionally go on your tree at Christmas, some of these are too beautiful to only see once a year (my daughter has one hanging from her rear view mirror in her car).  This website and business/hobby came to light when someone said to me, "Diane, you should sell these.. You always have something new in the works." So, I am doing just that, and named my little shop Always Something New .. After all, there is always something new for me to do! 

Memory Ornaments

 Memory ornaments are made of something special from a 
​loved one you wish to honor or remember. This can include dad's old tie, your baby's favorite blanket, anything you can think of (Just make sure you are ready to part with it and have it cut up). Ornaments can also include a picture (additional fee may apply).

My latest project is intricate ornaments.  I have several designs and patterns to choose from. Take a look at the gallery page. As I begin more projects, I will include them in the galleries as well.

Let me Know! ​​

Even if what you are looking for is not a project I am currently working on, I do take orders for past projects and
​special orders. Please do not hesitate to ask. Who knows, maybe you might inspire my next "something"...
