New " fake tree" |
Santa tree |
Christmas kitty... |
Christmas kitchen |
New chair cushions |
New Christmas apron |
My favorite Christmas room in the house is the kitchen. I'm still finding ways to use the $1 bolt of Christmas fabric that Lady Melanie gave me about 3 years ago. This year, I made four chair cushions and an apron with it. I still have fabric left, so who knows what I'll come up with for next Christmas.
This was our first year with a " fake tree". Yes, I did miss the wonderful smell from the real tree but I didn't miss having to keep it watered and the mess of all the needles. I didn't miss having to deal with putting the lights on it either. I loved the shape of the fake tree and how you just take it apart and stuff it back in the box....until next year. I have had a collection of " glass Santa ornaments" for a few years now. I used to put them on a small tree all by themselves. This year, I decided I would use them on our new fake tree. The Christmas theme of the living room is now " Santa" since we have a little one who "believes" again.
