I got the Christmas decorations up today -- what a feeling of accomplishment! Even though I live alone and no one will be staying here over the holiday, I put them up for myself. I love the colors and all the candles and little white lights in the evening.
Since I moved to the sun, I decorate the outside with shiny Christmas ornaments on my yuccas.
I have a tall, skinny tree that tucks into the corner. It's loaded with ornaments that all have special meanings.
I just made these three to send to Juniper and her mom and dad. The pattern is "Emmitt & Ivy Ornaments" by Sweetwater.
I made the snowman out of stacked wool circles and the Hole In the Barn Door quilt block out of flattened chocolate wrappers
Friends made all of the wool mittens and the snowperson ornament.
I made the triangle Santa last year. Every year I made a different ornament.

Here are some more decorations in the living room ...
... and the kitchen LOL ...
... and the guest bathroom.
After growing up in Pennsylvania and spending many years in other snowy states, it stills feels strange to be decorating for Christmas when I can see a palm tree from my living room! But there is a natural Christmas feel to the lady slipper plant by my front door, with its bright green branches and red flowers that the hummingbirds love.
Have a colorful day
