We made it over the finish line!

 

Tomorrow’s the day…August 28th…Stamm House opens at 10am.

In The Thick Of It!

 

Well let the fun begin! We are rolling with Halloween in the studio now. Guy and I are feeling much much better after our 2nd Covid shot. Our symptoms are gone so we are feeling in the work mood now. Halloween hopefully will be finished by the end of the month( hopefully) lol....that may be a little bit to optimistic but hey we’ll try. Christmas is up next and we have some great new Santa’s so here a quick peek at my newest candy container....the candy container is the 2nd picture, the antique one is on the left and the new one is on the right. This beautiful guy opens right below his coat!

Onto Halloween!

 

Well spring blew by and now I am into Halloween work. New projects are keeping me busy but rest is needed in between because I still am battling covid symptoms. You never know what the day will bring. I’ll be working through out the summer and hopefully be ahead when we reopen in late August. Here’s a sneak peek at a couple of the new lighted pieces, some finished, some in process!

Spring Opening

 

Well it’s time again to get open. Funny how it feels like I haven’t stopped working since Christmas even despite  having had Covid. Hope to see every on Saturday March 6th for our Spring opening!

When will it end!

 Hello covid.....yes this crappy virus struck us the end of December. We thought we had weird colds. Things didn’t seem to be improving so we went in for the dreaded swab up the nose and out your eye test on January 8th. Just kidding the test wasn’t all that bad but my eyes did water a bit! Boom....positive!  The last 3 weeks have  been interesting. We’ve been up and down with quite an array of symptoms. Overall we feel like shit. I guess we are some of the “ long haulers of symptoms”. When does this crap end!!!!!!!! Everyday brings new challenges. Some days we are better then we have another wave of symptoms wash over us. I’ve been trying to work in the studio off and on. Here’s a few pics of the new items......

End of the season

 Christmas is only a few days away now. A much needed rest is right around the corner. Here’s a little update on the progress of the Santa dolls...

The ones on the right will look like the antique one on the left when they are finished. There’s much work to be done!

Looking Forward

 With Christmas almost upon us and this year coming to a close, it’s time to look to the new year. For 30 plus years we have been making all sorts of vintage style holiday decorations from belsnickles to elves to snowmen and more. We’ve made putz sheep and horses, pigs and cows. We’ve done spun cotton and goose feather trees. We’ve molded, painted and sparkled with mica. We’ve crossed back and forth from Christmas to Easter and Halloween. We’ve done a lot. In 2021 we want to take on a new challenge. Over the next few months we will be working on large Santa candy containers dressed in robes. This is an area I’ve always wanted to work in but never have found the time. Well how’s the time. So forward we go. Fingers crossed!
