I apologize for not posting last week. I really wanted to get this post up, but I managed to sprain my wrist, and typing with a sprained wrist is not easy. So, I’m ‘hunting & pecking’ this post.
With the Christmas season upon us, I’ve been working on some new items for the home, gifts & some more orders. This is the first centerpiece for the season. It’s so easy to make, using items available at any craft store or the Dollar Tree.
This is my pink, Shabby Chic Centerpiece:
Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas from our home to yours.
I thought I’d share a video with you.
This is my son, Sean, joined by Tara Charles.
He’s actually quite an accomplished guitarist.
I hope you enjoy it.
I’ll be joining:
Merry Christmas everyone! I know that this isn’t a traditional tree, but it’s something that I’ve been wanting to try for years. Well, this is the year! I finally have my Black & White Christmas Tree. (I can hear my sister groaning already 😉 ) I’ve been collecting black, white, crystal, iridescent & silver ornaments for several years for this tree. Finally, I got to use them.
In my Holly Jolly Tablescape, I used a Holly Centerpiece. It was very inexpensive & easy to make. This is how I made the Holly Centerpiece.
Ever since I thought of this tablescape, I’ve had the song, “A Holly Jolly Christmas” in my head. I guess it’s because the entire tablescape was inspired by holly. This is my Holly Jolly Tablescape!
I’ve been making these Christmas angels for years, and no matter what style you make her in, she always looks wonderful. This is going to be a long post that is heavy with pictures. It’s not a hard project to make, just a little time consuming, but so worth the time. This little Christmas Angel can be customized to fit any decor by changing up the fabric, trim & accessories. She can be used as a centerpiece or grace the top of your tree. This is how I made my Christmas Angel.
This Christmas Tablescape was inspired by the stoneware. Creatively Sam’s isn’t quite a year old yet, and I’ve been wanting to use this all year! Every time I look at this stoneware, I find myself humming the song, “O Christmas Tree”. Welcome to my “O Christmas Tree” Tablescape!
I have a large package that needed to be decorated. I could have made a big bow for it, but I wanted something a little different, something not quite as feminine as bows can tend to be. I came up with a Christmas Tree that is made from ribbon loops. It was very easy to make, and as I looked at the finished project, I thought about how it could be used in other ways, too! This is one of my Christmas Package Embellishments:
This is the centerpiece that was used in the White Christmas Tablescape. It was put together with very little supplies, was easy to make, and it can be made in any color that you need for your own decor. This is how I made the White Christmas Centerpiece:
I love white, that’s all there is to it. It’s such an easy color to decorate around. Everything goes with it. The accent colors that you use with white are what give white its tones. Gold used with white gives it a warm feel, while silver used with white gives it an icy feel. This little vignette was inspired by a white & silver Santa which led to a snowy scene. I made the vignette to use for my White Christmas Tablescape. It was put together easily. This is how I did it.
