Taking it Down the Christmas Tree

 







Hi Friends,

It is always sad for me when it's time to take down the Christmas tree.  We put this tree up I believe December 20th and kept it nourished with water.  Where I live the air is so dry and we do have a fire burning most of the winter month, the tree was very dry when we took it down last Sunday.



Another one of our traditions, I like to fulfill is to leave our tree up until after New Years and then take it down over the weekend.  

However, this year we spent the  New Years weekend with my mother, and arrived home late Sunday night, just didn't get the time to get to the Christmas tree. 


So many wonderful treasured hand made ornament by my kids and grandkids


Looking at this Kmart box I got these made in America glass ornaments on sale for $1.77




Carefully wrapping up in tissue and packing up the new ornament from the grand children and placing my old collection of ornament away for another year.
 

I hate to see the tree go, but I also enjoy getting more space back in my living room

Thank you for checking in to see what project I'm working on today

May God Bless you and your family,

Farmhouse Vignette using Felt Shamrocks




Hi Friends,

Today I decided to make a green felt shamrock garland for one of my little shelf.  I always have felt on hand to craft with so, I made a template from light weight cardboard, that I thought would be the right size and traced out shamrocks from the green felt and cut them out.  For a little  dimension I attached little white hearts on the petals of the clover.



 Once the shamrocks were glued and dry I added a little glitter glue around the little white hearts.



Then I glued the stems to petals to attach the shamrocks


I also put some of the shamrocks on a pipe cleaner as a stem.


Simple project, cutting out all the shamrocks took a bit of time


Fairly easy project , I think the shamrock turned out nice and added a bit of color to my March décor 


Thank you for stopping by to see what I have been doing. So until the next project, take care and God Bless you and your family.
