Preparing for Christmas is a labor of love - and trust me - it IS a labor!
Changing out the seasons is a good thing, though. We can sort through stuff we no longer love and embrace new things. Try different styles and arrangements.
I've purposed to decorate each room a bit differently this year.
I've spent the last few days working in the kitchen - taking all my fall tableware to the storage building and bringing in the Christmas coffee cups and dishes.
But today I went back to the den and worked in there for a few hours.
This white Christmas tree was on our front porch last year but it did not do it justice.
I knew then it would need to be inside this year and so it is!
This is the beautiful quilt my friend, Sharilyn, made me!
I wanted to use it somewhere wher I can enjoy it every single day and the den sofa is perfect!
Work in progress......
And it's coming along bit by bit and day by day.
I thought I would publish my progress every day since this is the month for my Santa giveaway drawing.
Plus I don't get confused like I did in my last post - forgetting and mixing up my days.
I went back this morning and corrected the post, realizing I need to keep my wits about me when I write. That's not always easy to do!
