Merry and Bright!

Popping in to to wish everyone a Very Merry and Peaceful Christmas!

 I especially want to thank everyone for the support and friendship during this year.  It was a big year with the move and getting settled and I really appreciate all my blog readers and friends and their comments.

 Well, as they say "Christmas is coming whether you are ready or not....."    In the past few days I've managed to pull it mostly together.

 a little tree for the basement - 

all Red & White

David Copperfield's area of the Dickens Village.


the rest of the village -


The Amaryllis bloomed :)

A real tree in the family room for the first time in at least 4 years.

 The Snowman's hood-


And new for this year - all my bird and bird related ornaments on a garland above the sink.


The real ones come to the feeder on the deck and in the yard -


I mixed real branches with the fake ones.  The birds are all living happily together.


 My little coco turns 4 on Christmas Day!  Here she is when she was 8 weeks old :)

I'm wishing you all a wonderful Holiday Season!  I'm hoping to have a little more sewing in the blog in 2014.

 See you next year -

    Merry Christmas to you too! I love your birdie and birdhouse theme garland, it is too sweet! You'll be happy to know that the painters finally arrived here, and finished in time for Christmas, a Christmas miracle for sure. :) Have a wonderful holiday with your family, and may all your fabric wishes come true in 2014!

    Love your decor, Barb--especially the snowman "hood"! : )
    And your birdies in the branches above the sink--maybe I could even enjoy doing dishes with that prettiness floating over me.
    Merry Christmas, girl!
