A belated Merry Christmas to you. I had planned to post this before Christmas, but time got away from me.
As you can see, the stockings weren't hung by the chimney with (or without) care. I believe one of the last times I hung our family stockings on the fireplace, one of the filled stockings fell on our cat who loves to lay in front of the fire. Another year I put some chocolate in the stockings. We have a gas fireplace, so it comes on as easy as turning on a light switch. That chocolate was pretty squishy after a night hanging over the fire.
For a few years, our stockings have remained in the box in the basement. Then I saw this idea on Pinterest. (I somehow have 2 Pinterest accounts. One has no pins, and the other is linked here on my sidebar. You can see my pins by clicking the link on the right.) I had the ladder in our bedroom with a crocheted piece on it, so all I had to do was put lights on the ladder and tie the stockings on with ribbon.
You can see the cat's blanket in front of the fireplace. The bubble lights on the fireplace have been around for ages. I love the decorations from back in the day. I crocheted the tree skirt in this photo and the photo below. I enjoy knitting and crocheting in the winter.
The photos are kind of dark. It looks like I took them at night. The tiny tree on the right (below) is for my grandson's room. Someone at their house ran over the cord with the vacuum, and the lights quit working so I ordered another string of the fairy lights and fixed it.
The quilt on the wall is from a pattern linked on my sidebar. You can find it by clicking here. It is a Moda pattern that I made with smaller blocks. The table topper pattern is my pattern and is available in my Etsy shop here.
I make these little quilts with 1 1/2" half square triangles. They measure about 12 1/2" when finished. You could put Insul Bright in them so you could use them to hold hot dishes. The knitting needle tree is something I remember from when I was younger. My Mom always had one of these, and I would help put it together. I did a post and showed how I do my knitting needle tree here.
This tree is in our entryway with another tree skirt that I made. The pattern can be found on my crochet blog at this link.
I have a few of these signs around my house. They come from Joyfully Said Home in Middlebury, Indiana. When I get to Shipshewana, I usually go there to shop.
Here's a ceramic Christmas tree that I made years ago along with a cross stitched sign from my childhood friend, Sharon. She and I used to cross stitch different Precious Moments cross stitch pictures and gift them to each other.
I wish you all a healthy, Happy New Year with countless blessings.
