Getting ready for Christmas

This weekend we worked around the house getting it all ready for Christmas. We have lots if evergreens around so what could be better than getting fresh bows from our own lot?

I trimmed our white pines and some of our blue spruces

I went antiquing in the summer and got myself a sap bucket. I stopped and picked up a string of clear mini lights

I have an old window frame (about 100 years old) from a church which helps frame the view walking to our door. I went to the dollar store and picked up some plastic red balls

A wonderful inviting way to decorate 'our welcome into our home'

Tis The Season

Have you started thinking about the Christmas holidays yet??? I have. It is one if my most favorite times of the year. Having a 8 year old son helps with the spirit as well

I have come up with these trendy stockings for this year 

 

I used coffee bean burlap bags, cut then the shape of the stocking I wanted

I really enjoyed the different stamps on the stocking. This makes each sock unique in its own way

I had some material from my quilting days. This scrap material allowed me to add the finishing touch on each stocking

Each family can have their own colour

Now is the fun in finding the right gifts to fill them ..........
