Impressions of Christmas.....

Christmas is almost upon us. For me, as with other seasons of the year, using my handmade objects is a big part of our decorations. 


A number of my quilts and stitched pieces hang in the living room. Above is a sample.


I love to arrange flowers and have made a poinsettia arrangement in a doll's sled in front of our hutch. 


My bobbinlace ornaments hang in the tree with mercury glass and silver ornaments.

    I am totally intrigued with your quilted & spool Christmas tree. You are so talented! Your Christmas quilt is also very pretty. I am new to quilting . . . you are inspiring me to make a quilt to hang over our mantle next year, thank you.
    Merry Christmas,
    Your blogging sister, Connie :)

    I love all the touches of Christmas displayed in your home! Did you make the "tree" piece next to the quilt? I love it because you don't often see something like that...so creative and pretty!

    Hi, Heidi! It seems that I have fallen almost out of the blog world. Your decorations are beautiful. I hope you are well and able to enjoy the season. Have a Merry Christmas and take care! - Amy :D

    Such beautiful decorations! You always make your home so homey and welcoming. And BTW, it's been really cold here (except for the past few days), so I have been wearing my neck warmer under my coat. It makes all the difference!

    It all looks so warm and cozy and I know it is, cause I have been to your house on Christmas. Not this one though. lol
    Can't wait to bring Zoe in June.
    Love you and Merry Christmas, Mom
