Needlepoint Ornament - January

January Ornament

This morning I finished stitching the January ornament from the Christmas Ornament of the Month Club.  This cute ornament came as a kit that included the painted canvas, stitch guide, and threads.  I believe that this series is currently exclusive for Family Arts.

Dept 56 Christmas Decorating - The End

New England Village from Dept 56

This is the last village that was put up for Christmas decorating.  The houses and most of the people are from the New England series.

Our holiday decorations have been up since the week following Thanksgiving and they will soon be back in storage waiting for Christmas 2011.

Christmas Ornaments On Our Tree

There are quite a variety of ornaments on our Christmas tree.  These are a couple of my favorites.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The puppies ornament was made by my mom, the bird ornament was made by my aunt.

Even More - Christmas Village Decorating

Here is the last section of the North Pole Village - the houses, people and most trees are Dept 56.

 

More Christmas Decorating

More of our holiday decorating!  This group of lighted buildings are part of Elf Land (Dept 56) -- the two trees in back on the left are from North Pole Woods (Dept 56).

Christmas Cross Stitch

These are a couple more of the Shepherd's Bush mini pillows -- letters "S" for snow and "C" for Christmas.

Christmas Decorating 2010

Once Thanksgiving arrives, the days turn into a blur.  The Christmas decorating is just about done. This is part of the North Pole Village (Dept 56) that is set up.  All it needs is the fresh fallen snow.

Halloween Decorating

This is our little Halloween Town.  The decorations are from Dept 56, the big house is called the Haunted Mansion and was probably the first in the Halloween series.  The small house is a costume shop, there is also a flying witch, some super cute trick-or-treaters and several other accessories.
