DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS

I have decorated part of the mantel. Still need some candles.

And the stocking were HUNG by the chimney with care.

Notice these are the stockings and holders I bought last January at Joann's for 90% off.

These next photos are of the stairs. My first experience decorating stairs and I am pleased with the results.

I enjoyed making the floral decorations. I wanted them to have an old fashion basic look.

Now I need to finish the 12 days of Christmas quilt to hang. It is a UFO or WIP from a while back.

Maybe I will do it for next Christmas?

The idea for the lighted Garland is from my sister. THANKS DOTTY.

Close up of the floral pieces.

THE SIGN is POSTED

Michael is busy digging the hole for posting our Hunter Knob sign.

Bet and Brandy posing by the newly erected Hunter Knob sign. Note the elevation of 1980 feet.

BRANDY AGAIN

Brandy is pretty tired after a round of her chewy and playing with her squeaker ball. LIFE IS FUN for a pomapoo.

BRANDY our POMAPOO

Brandy is not too happy trying on my new Skeetchers. Maybe she thinks the camoflodge fabric is not her style.

Treasures from the Feather Princess Sale

If you know me you know I LOVE purses and bags.

I found this neat bag for $1.00 at the sale today.

WOW. I was happy. It is lined with a red bandana fabric with a pocket sewn in the side.

Close of up the stitching on the bag. It appears to be made of strips of fabric that are knitted together.

ANOTHER Treasure from the Feather Princess Sale

Here is a Chenille Teddy bear I bought for $1.00.

His yellow eyes look a little crazed but hey maybe we all feel like we have yellow eyes some days.

He had yellow bows on his neck and arm but I thought that was a bit much so took them off and will find a more appropriate color.

Anyway the Teddy has found a home on the bed in my quilt nest.
