Now it feels like Christmas!
Last week we put up our very small tree since Ginger is still needing to be kenneled at night. That kennel takes up lots of room! It did not feel like Christmas since we could barely see the tree. Our youngest begged Daddy to get the big tree out. So today they made room and NOW it feels like Christmas! The next thing we need to fix is the weather...it is 61* this evening!
We have not gotten the ladder out to put the star on top yet...maybe tomorrow. You can see that Ginger is posing for you with a happy look on her face. She is doing well after the accident, but still has a long way to go.
I don't have many recent Christmas quilts. This on is from the early to mid 90‘s and looks a bit old fashioned to me today. The gold lame' really dates it, but I have enjoyed it over the years. We had our tiny tree sitting on it last week. It made a nice tree skirt.
The kids' stockings are full of sparkle from cequins and beads. I made a stocking like this for myself in the 8th grade. It was destroyed by a mouse long ago. When I saw these in a hobby store I had to get a few for our family. Hubs and I used to share the one on the left, but now it is the one we use for our son in law. And I suppose I will need to add some for grand kids one of these years in the future! These kits are made by the same company that mine was made by all those years ago was...Bucella...felt and cequins kits. My Middle daughter made two of these in Jr. High, so the tradition was carried on!
Have you decorated yet? We know some folks that wait until Christmas Eve to get a tree up and decorated. We love to get the tree up as soon as possible, but we always take it down on New Year's Day, wishing we could leave it up longer...
Happy Holidays to my blogging friends!
Take Care,
Missie
