All around the house...

A peek at the house this Christmas. Keeping it simple. Organizing the boxes and boxes of ornaments and garland since our move. Finding old treasures and adding some new ones. 

Made a little birdie tree for the cats in one of the guest bedrooms. Just love these little glitter "chirpies" with their crooked little beaks and broken wings. A colorful granny square afghan makes a good tree skirt and soft blanket for the kitties to nap. 

This year our tree is an explosion of icicles, feathers and glitter. Managed to cut and fit a 9 1/2 foot Douglas fir in the living room. It shimmers and glistens. Don't you just love to sit in a dark room with just the Christmas tree on. So peaceful.

Hope to have the fireplace working next year but for now the candles will do just fine...

Welcome wreaths with antlers that I bought at Roundtop, Texas last April. 

Great little collection of Tiny Santa cups on Mike's vinyl album cabinet. One might even wink at you!

A stocking made from linen and lace, a bottle brush tree, and a paper mâché snowman that I made finish off the dining room. Little touches here and there.
