Oh my gosh, I LOVE those stockings you made!!! They're so soft and feminine!! Just gorgeous!!! Hope you have a wonderful New Year's! :)
Yep, hubs has been shoveling snow for a week now - about 6 times so far, sweets!! Adorable tree. I'm wondering if someone has had a "ROSE" tree. I think that would be pretty. Maybe I can do one next year...... Smooches, girlfriend Connie
Love your trees...that flat one is really neat (sweet)! ha I see a Christmas card on your bulletin board that looks vaguely familiar! :) Happy New Year!!!
ELE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE the rhinestones!!!!! GORGEOUS!! The stockings are fabulous! IS there anything you cant do perfectly?? My goodness, I love it all! And your new kitty is precious!!!
Ele Hello.Mittens is adorable in the tree,Cinderella does the same thing.I bet they think we put the tree up just for them.Mittens looks so pretty next to that pale blue tussy.
Your stocking are so beautiful!I should do that with mine,I shrunk some beautiful wool ones by accident and they won't fit me now.I saw on Martha Stewert where she uses the sleeves and makes mittens.So there is really no waste when your done with the sweater.
I love your rhinestones pins on your stockings too.
Wow that is alot of snow.I guess you had a white christmas then.It hot here in the high 70's.
Your flat tree is the cutest thing I ever saw.So cute with your tea pots and all.
Oh Mitten is so cute!! He is a naughty little one isn't he? :) Also, I really love the bulletin boards....I was debating on bulletin or dry erase board or both. Did it come with the black or did you paint the trim? Happy week and I'll write soon :) xo
Your home is lovely and I love all your decorations.. I love the wool stocking. Thanks for the know-how.. I have wanted to make some out of wool but, not sure how.. I also love the pictures and all your snow.. wow! Everything is so beautiful and you make everything look so festive and complete.. Hope your Holidays were special and a Happy New Year too!!
I love the pictures of all the pretties, but I have to admit I was laughing out loud all the way through your post once I saw the first picture of the kitty sitting in between the tree branches.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! How have you been? Did you have a good Holiday, get everything you want? Mittens is so darn cute and I LOVE the polka dot stockings! xoxo Rox

A little mischief has been happening at my house lately. I caught "her" in action. Remember Mitten? She's our newest addition that was found in the mall parking lot by "Pink Girl". It's Mitten's first Christmas and she has been enjoying the decorations!
[Image]Pink and cream colored decorations adorn this tree. A few "holes" where the branches are separated thanks to Mitten. I like to hang a few pieces of altered art on the tree. A little unexpected as they aren't really Christmas decorations. The "nest" birdhouses are new this year and made by Beth. [Image][Image][Image]
A Pink Christmas stocking that I made a couple of years ago with lots of trims.
[Image]
[Image]Pink polka dotted Christmas stockings made by Michelle.
[Image]Another Christmas stocking made by me. It is made out of recycled (thrift store) wool sweaters. Make sure you use a sweater that is at least 90% wool. Wash it in HOT water and also dry it on HOT. You should end up with a tight piece of wool (felt). Cut it the shape you want and sew together! Notice the second picture below. The top part of the stocking is folded over. Add some embellishments and a ribbon hanger. [Image]
[Image][Image]
The teacup tree is below. Miniature teacups, teapots, sugar spoons, and hydrangea flowers hang on this tree. This tree is actually a half tree and it hangs flat against the the wall.[Image][Image]Next pic is our traditional Christmas tree. This tree is filled with the ornaments we have collected through the years. I also put on red candles as this was my grandmother's tradition. We don't light the candles, but we did when I was a little girl! I found the candle clips at a Stabo store (Scandinavian Imports).

Love this little Santa guy and snow covered crystal tree.[Image]As you may already know, I dislike pictures on my fridge. To solve this problem a few months ago, we added these bulletin boards to our kitchen. Perfect for displaying Christmas cards. [Image]We have been enjoying a beautiful day of sunshine and lots of snow. This is the snow that has piled up outside my kitchen window.
[Image]Mr. Pink Heaven is on the roof outside of our bedroom window. He's trying to remove some of the snow that has accumulated on our roof. Yes, I leaned out of the window to take this picture.

Isn't felted wool the greatest to work with?
