happy christmas

I wish you and yours a holiday filled with laughter, love, joy, and peace...

trees and more trees black and white

Jonny and I spent yesterday with Dana and her husband. It was wonderful to have such good friends to spend the holiday with. They even put up their tree and saved some ornamnets for us to put on the tree (because they knew we weren't going to put up our ornaments this year). We played yahtzee and hoopla and laughed and told stories and ate yummy food. (Thank you both.)

Today, Jon and I are enjoying movies (A Christmas Carol and Love Actually) and making some garland for our little tree (we found a little one left in the lot) and having fun with our presents and eating little appetizer foods while still wearing the pajamas we exchanged last evening...

all those trees

These little trees were inspired by Stephanie over at little birds handmade. We gave them as some gifts this year. (I admit that I am sad that we didn't make some for ourselves...so that is why we are making some Posie-inspired garland for the tree today. I want to make something crafty just for us.)

Merry Christmas! I love your adorable trees. My fave is the one of the dotty fabric. I may have to give these a try.

Oh, I love these little trees! I would want a whole group of them, just like this. They would look so cute as a table display! look at you, crafty one!

Happy you had a good holiday, even though you couldn't leave to see family. Merry Christmas. :)

Merry Christmas, Liz and Jon ... it sounds like you had a fantastic day with Dana and her husband. I wish you all the best in the coming year. Hope things are good in your life. Good luck and good health to you, my friend. Love from all the way out here in snowy Montana (how's the snow situation in Seattle now???)

I love your trees and you should totally make more for your own home and next year. They'd make a great little diorama! I also love that pom-pom garland.......my neighbor has a beautiful garland that is red yarn and little teeny squares of felt about 6" apart and held in place with a simple knot. So clever, simple and gorgeous. Guess what I'm making for next year? (=
Merry Christmas beautiful. xo

I hope your holidays were lovely...quiet and comfortable! Those trees look like something my ultra-crafty girl would like to make...she's got a thing for buttons!

Those trees are adorable. I'm all about the untraditional Christmas (much to my family's chagrin)...(two years ago we spent Christmas Day lounging on our neighborhood beach and it was one of our best EVER). I'm glad you had a good one...with your love and friends and just doing things to give YOU pleasure. (And isn't Posie just the best? I love her stuff, even though I'm not at all crafty...just so cute to look at!)
