Thought I'd pop in and share a few photos from last Christmas. These were some of my Mom's ornaments and they are very precious to me.
I did this simple tablescape for Christmas dinner. The letter ornies on each plate were made by me. I got the idea from Target last year. Everybody loved them.
The tablecloth is fabric from Ikea last year. I also used it to make curtain panels.The candles you see all over Pinterest. Old sheet music on a dollar store candle. Add glitter and your good to go.
Here's the progress on the boys Christmas ornaments for this year. I showed you the Seattle skyline in the works. It's all sewed-no I have to turn it into an ornament. The sackbut, don't laugh, is an early trombone. Youngest son is a trombone performance major and has played this instrument this year. I try to do some event, or something special from the last year. Also have to turn this into an ornament. I'll show you when I'm finished with them both.
Come back later this week to see my Christmas home tour. Can't wait!
LOVE the red and white table setting! Cute idea with the table favors and wrapped candles. Maybe I should go to Ikea.

I kind of love Ikea for certain things, Deb. The candles were really fun to make. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Vicky. I can't wait to finish the ornaments. I'll for sure share them with you when I'm done!
DeleteHi Leslie, LOVE your tablescape in red and white. So very Swedish and gorgeous. The letters on the plates and the candles are awesome. Ikea has some great things for decor don't they? I just have to create some of those candles.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the ornament is coming along beautiful. Love the stitch work.
You are so talented my friend. So looking forward to getting together again after the holiday. I met another blogger last Friday and my hubby joined us this time. He drove!! LOL Gotta love having a chauffeur on occassion. LOL
Have a great week and looking forward to your home tour. xo
Thanks, Celeste. I love the Swedish look for Christmas. It's clean and bright. How fun to meet another blogger and having your Hubby be the driver. He seems like such a sweetheart! You guys make a good couple. Can't wait to get together after Christmas with you.
DeleteHow wonderful to have the Christmas balls from your mother. I have a scale just like yours but it's all black with a copper or brass funnel! You're amazing with your little felt ornies you make! This is so special for your sons. Thanks for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I think the scale in black sounds pretty. Thanks for stopping by and have a good week!

Thanks, Kathy. It was fast and easy to do.
DeleteI want some of the tablecloth fabric! Your table setting was so festive, Leslie! I can't wait to see your holiday tour, and your ornies are coming along nicely. Happy decorating!
ReplyDeleteIkea used to have alot more fabric, but sadly they've scaled down. I lucked out last year on this. Happy decorating to you to kiddo!
