Twinkle Twinkle


The last couple of weekends I have taken a break
from cooking and cleaning
and have spent my time in my renovated room
with no natural light ~ creating

finally taking some of those things I have pinned
and made them for myself

I have also been having some fun with my chalkboard
wow ~ there are so many cool quotes and fonts
plain inspiration everywhere you look


since our Thanksgiving was last month I chose this one
as I thought it was a bit early for me 
to be putting something Christmas related on it

a couple of weekends ago I made these sweater pillows


again ~ crappy lighting ~ sorry about that!

found on Pinterest ~ a couple of sweaters from goodwill
some batting and stuffing and I used embroidery floss instead of thread


I have 2 or 3 more sweaters to do and 
can't wait to see how they will look on the couch.

This past weekend I made these...



egg cartons + paint + mini lights = cute!



I love them and they were too easy to make
again ~ another Pinterest find


so my little corner of the world is basically complete
that sweater hanging over the chair was one my Grammy Brown made me
and I cannot part with it ~ so after the chair gets recovered with this fabric
the sweater will become another pillow!



I picked this up on my trip 
and it is awaiting a perfect little spot of wall


thought I would take some random shots of my space
as I will soon be hauling out the Christmas wrap, ribbon and bows
and this will become filled with everything Christmas


yes that is my old stereo with a turntable
because you never know when the girls are going to show up 
and we will drag out the 45's and have a dance party!


see randomness and whiskers abound


along with peanut butter pie ~ to die for delicious 


and currently crushing on these ~ please come to Canada soon!

Happy Tuesday.

It's the week-end before Christmas
and I am feeling good

yes
there is wrapping to be done


and a couple of last minute
things to bake


the candy dishes will be filled


but there will also be time to...

enjoy the tree

and ornaments abound


maybe go for a walk in the winter's snow

both Friday and Saturday night
we will be partaking in some
Christmas cheer


Friday night is a casual affair
with family and friends

lots of eggnog


maybe a cupcake or two

~*~*~*

Then on Saturday night
we can put on our dancing shoes

and our holiday best
and partake in maybe one of these...


and a little dinner too.

so get out and enjoy the lights

share in the love


the beauty of it all


and if you are lucky


you will find your favorite someone
under the mistletoe


I know that we are all crazy busy this time of the year
so I thank each and every one of you
that took the time to leave a note
or little comment.
I know I have read lots this week
but commented not as much as I would have liked
so thank you.

I hope your week-end is filled
with love and that you
make new memories
of this Christmas season.
