Christmas Decorating, Knitting and Crochet from Loose Threads

I’m not sure where the time has gone, but December is half over already. My favorite thing about the holidays is spending time with family and friends. My second favorite thing is decorating the house for Christmas. I love pulling out all my old favorite decorations to enjoy for the month (or maybe more). I’ve made quilts, cross stitch and crocheted things that I love to unpack and display. I wish I could show you everything, but for now I’ll start with the guest room. Here is the quilt I made a few years ago. This was ...

Sunday Chat – Holiday Fun from From My Carolina Home

Last year I made this little table mat for the side table next to my chair. This year, I converted it to a mini-quilt so I could put it on the Mini Quilt Stand and enjoy it more. It says “I just want to bake stuff and watch Christmas movies”, so that was the order of the day. I put on my favorite movie for the day after Thanksgiving, Miracle on 34th St (1947 edition). Do you love this movie? I thought it would be fun to do a trivia contest for you to ~~torture~~ entertain your family/friends this ...

GIRLS, CORKS and FORKS from Kwilty Pleasures

Because Cork n Fork parties are fun!

I begin the preparation November 1st

when I put up a wine theme tree in my kitchen.

I absolutely LOVE this tree!

I use wooden wine boxes as the tree collar!

2022 was spent collecting 'bunches of grapes' at thrift stores.

And I covered this tree every color of grape possible.

I also needed lots of texture...from grapevine wreaths

to glittery ornaments.

And lots of corks wrapped in fabric as ornaments

And a topper fitting for any winery tree!

Grapevine leaves and all.

This is the 3rd year I have hosted (as ...

Sew Thankful Sunday, December 2021 from The Crafty Quilter

{I love the idea of “paying it forward”. I think the world would be a better place if we could spread some joy and acknowledgement of good deeds done by others. I try to do that once a month for my Sew Thankful Sunday posts. I highlight some great content that I’ve found on other people’s blogs that I hope will inspire you and reward the originator by bringing traffic to their site. If your blog has been mentioned without your consent, please let me know and I will take you off the current list of featured bloggers ...

CLAN GORDON TREE from Kwilty Pleasures

Welcome to my Great Room and

The Clan Gordon Christmas Tree.

I have many trees each year,

My Scottish Theme Tree and Mantle

transports Clan Gordon to Scotland each year.

Even Santa has a bagpipe!

It all begins with the tree.

Much to my chagrin...this is what happened

when I plugged in my pre-lit tree. Once lights begin to go...

I don't trust them any more.

I love this tree as it has many kinds of branches

so, I opted to do a crazy thing.

I took wire clips and cut off ALL the lights.

I have done ...

And The Stockings Were Hung.... from Luann's Loose Threads

A belated Merry Christmas to you. I had planned to post this before Christmas, but time got away from me.

As you can see, the stockings weren't hung by the chimney with (or without) care. I believe one of the last times I hung our family stockings on the fireplace, one of the filled stockings fell on our cat who loves to lay in front of the fire. Another year I put some chocolate in the stockings. We have a gas fireplace, so it comes on as easy as turning on a light switch. That chocolate was pretty squishy ...

Christmas Decorating 2019 First Group from Quilts + Color

It's amazing I was able to do as much decorating as I did as I gave my middle child a whole truckload of some great things I had stored in the garage.

I thought there were 2 bins left, but I gave it ALL to him.

I added some things around the base of the tree and it looks different with the new quilt.

I did save a bin of greens and berries so I was able to add to this vignette to make it Christmasy.

I'm sharing the top 2 tiers of my corner bakers rack that ...
