Keeping Up With Christmas

 

This is what I call my

unconventional Christmas colors.

Lots of orange, yellow and blue for this room.

A paper angel on top of this fabric tree.

Teddies and more children's shoes.

Sitting in here has a calming effect for me.

This mustard Child's chair use to be the one

Michael sat in when he was little.

Am loving my heritage wall now

especially here at Christmas.

My sister liked it too and wondered

how I got some of these to look so old.

Told her it was the fabric (linen) choice.

Remember the ornaments I painted.

Here they are on another fabric tree.

My friend Ruth made both fabric trees for me.

In addition to the redware, I included

white and tan chenille candy canes that I made,

gold bulbs, tan/white mittens & pears.

This chenille Santa star on top.

I placed two wreaths inside my trencher.

Added Santa in the middle,

 then two fabric pears I had sewn up

inside each wreath.

This Santa was holding a cake crock,

so I added two more cake crocks to 

the left of this display.

The mustard child's chair use to be

the one Mikayla would sit it 

when she visited gramma.

Bob made the tree from an old door.

Tobacco sticks all around.

He sold quite a few at the store a few years ago...

in all sizes and even some painted in green.

Sorry about my Ott lamp being in the way.

This is where I stitch.

In other news,

yesterday morning I started my drive into work

with snow, then sleet, then freezing rain and then rain

by the time I pulled into the parking lot.

When I left it was the same thing except vice versa.

It finally stopped snowing.

More to come today they say.

Welcome to Winter in Michigan.

Bob told me before I left work that it was

52 and sunny at our house.

I told him it must be in his dream.

Also yesterday when I came home there was

a strange car in my driveway.

I stopped my car in the street and walked up 

to it and the person said-

"are you the homeowner?"

I said "yes" and "who are you?"

He was the township building inspector.

He needed to inspect our privacy fence 

we put up in August.

A little late I said to him...he replied that they

were behind on inspections.

I told him he sure picked a fine time to go out.

Anyway the fence was fine and passed.

Again thank you to all who comment

on my Christmas tour posts.

I still have a few more.

Keeping Up With Christmas Blessings To All!
