Hallway Christmas Magic

Hello friends.

Lets move from the guest room

now back into our hall. 

Now two pics from our bathroom.

In other news,

my mom's therapist is going to be more

aggressive with her therapy starting today.

Will see if she complies or not.

Also more snow is due to arrive Wednesday.

Possibly up to 6 inches of snow...

or a snow rain mix.

I would rather have the snow.

Am enjoying looking at the Christmas lights

driving into work now.

So many creative folks out there.

We only do red/green and white lights outside.

Nothing big.  

Oh yeah almost forgot.

Did you spot the last elf I hid for my grands?

Well have to get to work.

Not sure if I will run into some snow on the way.

Will see.

Christmas Magic Blessings To All!

Be Our Guest For Christmas

 Hello friends.

Continuing with my Christmas home tour.

Our guest room.

A few sewing related items in a wood bowl.

I thought the red tomatoes 

were perfect for Christmas.

My vintage Santa.

Another pair of shoes.

This display is on my pine dresser.

Changed out the blue quilt for another red one

at the foot of the bed.

Antique dolls and bears inside the wagon.

Looking in from the hall.

That is an antique dress form

to the right of the dresser.

The display on the side of the bed.

The small Santa pillow my mom made.

I stitched up the stocking.

Close up view.

In other news,

Christmas dinner was nice.

I made ham, sweet potato casserole,

green bean casserole, corn, 

broccoli salad, bean salad and rolls.

Dessert was either a cannoli 

or strawberry rhubarb pie. 

My mom has lost so much weight,

her pants don't fit.

Good thing Santa brought her more.

She only weighs 103 lbs.

Monday she goes back to her doctor

for another hemoglobin check.

Hopefully it stays the same.

She still is stubborn about using her

right hand.

Both my brother and I 

 had to be the bad cops and remind her 

to use it lots of times.

Gave my sister a break.

Well I hope everyone is enjoying

my Christmas home tour.

More still to come.

Be Our Guest Blessings To All!

The Main Event

 

Today is Christmas in our bedroom.

This little area next to my closet.

The black cabinet in the back is Bob's.

He keeps his Bi-Pap supplies in there.

Also his Bi-Pap machine is next to the bed.

I don't want to mess with it,

so it is in the pics.

View looking in coming from the hall.

I did a simple faux tree in here.

I made the stockings and the large candy cane. 

Rye baskets and wool in this hanging cabinet.

Candle and pair of mittens to the left.

A prim Santa hanging on the right.

My little bucket bench that I use for my shoe collection.

One of my many red and white quilts.

Stitched this up years ago on Onasburg fabric.

Found free cross stitch images online,

and just stitched it up...wanted it to look like

a small wreath of images.

Sold these Santa's years ago.

My creation.

The pillow was given to Bob and I from 

an antique vendor when we first got into antiques.

This person is now a vendor in our store.

We still remain friends all these years.

A vintage bulb on top of some fresh cranberries.

The Noel pillow I stitched up as well.

Sold these at the store at one time too.

Love the darling colonial girl print.

Noel up close. 

Used the leftover coverlet pieces from

when I sewed up the stockings.

Corner view with more quilts.

Antique pierced tin lantern.

I so love these.

Pumpkin pine cabinet.

Windsor chair display.

Top of cabinet.

This Child's chair is a repo.

I plan on painting black at some point.

Leather books.

More of my handmade Santa's.

Did not make any this year.

Small crock jug and ink holder.

Another Santa hanging I made.

The other one I purchased from a friend.

My desk.

I always wonder who sat at this one...

and what they did.

My side of the bed.

Foot of the bed.

The stockings hanging I sewed up from

 antique coverlet pieces.

Tucked in a coverlet red heart with greens.

In other news,

only 20 days until Christmas now.

Do you have your shopping done?

I do thankfully.

Just have to do my Christmas cards now.

We are going into a cold spell for a few days now.

This mornings low was  5. Brrr

The high only in the 20's. More Brrr

At least I do not have to drive to work again

until Monday and am working from home today.

Tomorrow I am hosting my family for 

Christmas dinner.

Just my siblings and their spouses...

and of course my mom.

Will do another dinner for the kids either

Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Hope everyone stays warm and has a festive weekend!

Main Event Blessings To All!
