Christmas Creations

Happy December! I can't believe it's already here. My sister-in-law Marianne and I went shopping a few weeks ago and found these cute skates. We both purchased a set and then got together to make the bubble wreath (tutorial found here) to dangle them in. It was one of the more frustrating projects I've done. The long quilting pins kept popping out. Hopefully it lasts through the month without me finding burlap square carcasses all over my porch.

I also did a bit of green garland, lights, and ornaments on my porch railing.

Holiday mantel. The gold ribbon garland is really less tame in color but it's the best photo I could do with the gloomy weather and poor lighting. The "Jingle All The Way" is a project I posted about last year here.

I also made one of the oh-so-popular ornament wreaths. I recommend not using glass ornaments. I dropped it a few times...it became smaller and smaller. :)
