Christmas Mantle

I thought I'd share this year's Christmas mantle. I'm loving the addition of our letterboard! And the teal letters....... heart!I still love my scrappy Christmas wreath. It is perfect for this antique window.  






I can't remember where I found these clip boards, but they work well on the mantle and make changing the seasonal decor very easy.

Having a kitten in the house with a Christmas tree is harder than I remembered. Notice how the bottom of the tree is pretty much undecorated at this point! Good thing she's cute!

Newest Addition to My Sewing Room

I made a scrappy fabric wreath today! It will be added to the door of my sewing room and I LOVE it (although it was quite tedious to make!). It is a combination of some solid cotton fabric and scraps from my many vintage sheet quilts. 

Weekend Away and Wedding Gifts

Our good friends Daisy & Kris were married last weekend in Yreka, CA. Talk about a long drive! But it was a lovely weekend and a nice little getaway for my husband and I. 

The happy couple... 

I had asked Daisy if she would like a homemade gift and she gave me a few ideas. First is this pretty little wreath - made with white hydrangeas and a wooden letter "P" monogram (painted turquoise, of course). 

I also made her a scrappy little string block pillow, with lots of turquoise and blues. 

And this funny little sign. They originally planned their wedding for 2006, but postponed 7 YEARS! The wedding was beautiful and definitely worth the wait. And... if they had married in 2006, I wouldn't have been able to attend - my daughter was actually born that day! 

Autumn / Monogram Wreath

I made this wreath last year, but just wasn't in love with it (so much so that I don't believe I ever even blogged about it!). However, with the addition of this little letter B I found at Hobby Lobby, I now think it's pretty darn cute. The best part? I didn't have to glue any of the foliage in, so I can remove the orange and add more red or white once Christmastime is a little closer. Ta-da!
