I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I spent the day at my cousin Kristin’s home with her family and my cousin Linda’s family as well. It was wonderful.
As I have mentioned often, I watch quite a bit of Youtube, usually flosstubers but at this time of year I also enjoy house tours. It’s fun to see how others have decorated for the holidays. With that in mind, I thought I would show you how I have decked my halls for my first Christmas in my new home.
Because my living room ceiling is so high, I purchased this 7.5’ tree. (My friend Kathy L. helped me lug it in and put it up. She liked it so much that she was in line at 6:00 am at Lowe’s on the day after Thanksgiving to buy the exact same tree! :-)
This little tree adds sparkle to my four-season room. The lavender plant on my coffee table was a gift from a friend who recently visited.
This baker Santa graces my kitchen counter along with two thrifted Santa mugs. They were each $1.99 and look adorable on my Jingle Bell Cafe cross stitch display. :-)
Of course there is more so I will continue the tour in my next post.
Special thanks to Terry K. who helped me solve the html issue with posting. Be sure to check out her blog, OnGoingProjects. She is a talented, prolific quilter.
One more thing, please send some positive energy and perhaps a prayer or two along for my sweet Emma who turns fourteen this week. On Saturday, we took a long walk, and she was absolutely fine pulling me right along. On Sunday morning when she woke up, she was very unstable and clearly disoriented. The emergency room vet diagnosed vestibular disease which older dogs can get. Other than a pill to help her dizziness and lack of balance, there is nothing that can be done. The hope is that she will gradually return to normal. She isn’t in any pain and has a good appetite, but for now I must carry her from place to place. She seems quite content curled up beside me on the couch, so hopefully, my girl will improve.
