Life in Plastic [Canvas] is Fantastic

I briefly mentioned in my holiday tradition post that I picked up a new holiday hobby: making little plastic canvas do-dads.

I fully realize that unlike other crafts of yore – macramé, cross stitching and the like – plastic canvas is not cool. I’m drawn to it nonetheless – maybe it’s my inner grandma, maybe it’s my 90s nostalgia.

Whatever the case may be, I’m digging it. Making these little houses from the Needlecraft classic “Hometown Villages” is sort of a weird hybrid of needlepoint and putz house making. So when you think about it that way, it makes 100% sense why I can’t stop working away at these.
