Am I the only one...

Who decorates for Christmas through out the whole house? Has a deer collection that is easily incorporated into the holiday? Enjoys morning coffee in a mug which was a gift from her son?

Saves old ornaments regardless of their condition?
Has a childhood "Chianti wine" ornament? Who knew?
And has a grandgirl who inspires them to decorate with a warm, happy heart?
Perhaps one should decorate right after Thanksgiving while still feeling the fullness of being thankful. Tell me, am I the only one?

Hi Joy
I began my Christmas decorating today. We have to make room for our huge Christmas tree, which we hope to get tomorrow. It is crazy. I have to move this big blanket chest to the porch, but the chest is full of Christmas stuff, so that has to be emptied first before we can lift it. The things we do around here for Christmas. This tree is our family tree. It is a hodge podge of all kinds of wonderful things. Then there are all the other trees I decorate. I hope to put pictures on my blog of those. Happy decorating Joy.
Merry Stitches,
Sandra

Oh yes, there is something peaceful about decorating the tree right after Thanksgiving before all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season gets underway.

Hi Joy,
You are not alone. I tend to decorate here and there throughout the house. I love old and new ornaments. Some were given to me by friends, and I love all the memories connected with them.

Happy decorating!
Sandy

Your decorations are wonderful! Your holiday spirit comes through in your post. :) This year has been tough so I'm not feeling as joyful, except of course in the religious sense. I'm looking forward to Christmas 2011 already. ;)

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times!  This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others.  Although, I did finish the witch seven times.  No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

Ending and beginning. . .

Each new year fills my heart with reflections on the old and expectations for the new.  While taking down the tree this morning, thoughts of  "Will I always put up a tree?" came to mind.  How could I not?  Each ornament has its own story to tell. Even Annie was a little sad to see the tree go. . . However, starting the new year stitching was a perfect way to bring in 2012.  Thank you Beth ( Heartstring Samplery ) for providing this lovely little chart .  Will you make new memories and remember the old?
