Today is the day...

Well, all my stuff is down from the attic and I have a few new items, but it is just hard to get started without a plan. I want something new, something to make me excited and charged up to decorate - I am thinking...why do I do this, when I just have to take it all down in a few weeks?? Truth is, I will decorate and will love it, just need a good kick in the rear - some inspiration to get me started. Soooo, I made a treasury of beautiful neutral items from the Cottage Style Street Team this morning and once, I have had a few more cups of coffee, I will be ready - aren't these items lovely....

Have a super day!!!

Christmas Tree Ornaments - Scrabble Style

It will be here before you can turn around - time to trim the tree. That is my favorite part of Christmas! Love the smell that the fresh tree adds to the house, love placing each ornament on it and love the children's eyes lighting up when they see it! These scrabble tile mini wreaths are just so cute - I had a ball making them...

I made some last year too and decorated the tree in my studio -

hope y'all have a great weekend and thanks for stopping in!

Oh Christmas Tree - Oh Christmas Tree...

but just could not resist these adorable vintage tree trimmings!

Christmas Stockings

I decorated my staircase yesterday with garland, poinsiettas and clusters of red, lime green, and gold balls. It really got me in the mood for Christmas stockings. I made three today and I wanted to share them with you. My favorite, by far, is the white one. Simple, yet elegant, and I LOVE the trapunto style.
