Christmas Decorations

So generally I'm pretty festive and I really enjoy decorating at Christmastime. This year was a little extra special cause I made some of my own decorations and I made all my cards (which I forgot to take pictures of :o( )

Last year I had seen some transparent Christmas balls and I really wanted to get them. We were on a really tight budget so I didn't buy them but vowed that I would have them this year. I figured I could decorate them by filling them with tradition decorations.

Here are the results:



Red Star Garland



Gold Bead Garland


Gold Tinsel Garland


Bernat Cotton Christmas


Red and Gold Wire


Red and Gold beads


Red Tafetta


Christmas fabric covered


Candy Striped yarn


Red, Gold and Green beads (stars and regular)


Gold Star Garland


Red and Gold seed beads (where praying this one doesn't break)


Red Tinsel Garland


The result looks a little something like this:





I also included a couple of knitted items but I didn't have a whole lot of time so I only managed two, but I know that I will be doing more of these in the future.



Mini Mitten


Mini Sock


We will be spending Xmas with JF's family once again this year (4th year in a row). This means that I haven't been home for Xmas in 4 years as well. I can't wait till next year I'm going no matter what.

Your tree looks excellent Ang. Really sweet. This year marks the first where we had no family party to rush to before the actual Big Day. Less travel this year. I hope you make it home next year. Nothing like a down home christmas.
