Christmas Vignettes

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
 As I write this, snow flurries are falling! We aren't expected to get much more than that, but it is always fun to see a few flakes fall.
 Definitely puts you in the Christmas spirit.

We finally got our big Christmas tree this weekend and decorated it today. I also put together a few vignettes around the house. Here's one that is in the kitchen. This is my very first cloche.
Can you believe it?
So many of you in blogland have some really wonderful ones. I would love to find a wood stand. The stand below is one of my glass cake stands.

 

Vignette on the foyer table...

Here are a few Christopher Radko glass ornaments. These are in the bookcase in the Living Room.

This one is one of my favorites.

 

Here's the living room table...

 

I gave these Muffy Van der Bear Christopher Radko ornaments to my girls when they were little.

There's my snowmen!

 And, here's the big tree in the Family room!

I have a smaller tree in the living room, but I still haven't put a garland on it yet.

Still, I feel so much better now that the big tree is decorated. 

Now, if I could just get everyone together for a photo for our Christmas card.

Hope you have a great week!

Check Another One Off The List

I know, I know, I should finish decorating the house for Christmas. But, I am on a mission to finish the last remaining projects in my oldest daughter's room.

In the past few weeks, I showed you how we organized her armoire...

How I  made some artwork for above her bed...

and how I organized a messy corner in her room...

But, I hadn't gotten to making a bedskirt. I have been sewing since I was a teenager, but I really don't like to, so procrastination for this project was my best friend. I had purchased a couple of window panels that matched the ones in my daughter's room last spring, but hadn't even cut the fabric since the bed hadn't been raised at that time. Several weeks ago, another blogger posted about how she made a bedskirt by hot gluing some fabric onto the box spring , which was an "aha" moment for me. Instead of hot gluing, I used.....

...a staple gun! I folded the fabric over so the rough edge was tucked under and stapled the fabric to the wood slats.

I just used the length of an 84" panel for each side. I cut both long sides out of one panel. No sewing for these two sides since I used the outside parts of the panels that were already sewn.

I did have some sewing to do for the panel for the end of the bed. I cut the piece at a slight angle (wider at the bottom) so that it would lay better. 

Here's how it looks at the foot of the bed, looking toward the right side of the bed.

Yay! The metal bed frame and all the containers under the bed are covered up!

Before the bedskirt...(and artwork)

After the bedskirt and artwork....

 My last project will be making a headboard, but I don't think that will be until after Christmas!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
