I unpacked the Crystal Pine Tree. Given to us by my mumsy-in-law. She gifted me with lots of treasures that had belonged to her mother. This is the first time I opened this wonderful box.
Oh my new Crystal Pine! Since it's 'Attractive anywhere', I decided to put it in my sewing room. I also decided to put it in my sewing room so Mr. Precious wouldn't break it to pieces. Not that he ever does anything naughty.
Oh no, he's the perfect little gentleman.
Back to the tree. It makes me happy. Happy in a way only a little old plastic tree with little old glass ornaments could.
We're starting to feel all Christmas-y in these parts.
Hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Baking.
A warm fire.
Decorations.
I won these trees at bunko! They look like ice and have lights in them that change color.
Mama brought me a couple of antique dust pans last time she was here. One is hanging by the front door and contains Rosie's leash and doggy poo-poo bags. The other one is hanging here.
(Yes, still have the tape on the stove. It's been working to keep the cat from sleeping up there, but doesn't look so pretty. )
Even got a little knitting in. Arm warmers for my girls.
I hope you're feeling all Christmas-y too!
Enjoy every minute. x
Oh...Oh...so festive!!...uh...If I can get rid of Mr. Brown Dirt can I come spend the
holidays with you!!!??

Your cat looks like Groucho Marx!
Love your blog.
Isn't it pathetic, those of us who are ruled by our house pets! LOL

Would double stick tape work? If you haven't tried it....it wouldn't be *as* obvious I guess....just a thought...enjoying your blog!

I'm feeling more Christmassy today than I have all week. Lots done...lots more to do but the list is getting smaller. Love your new little tree.

LOL! We've had to do that on our mantel before to keep the kitties off. Ugly, but it actually worked. :)
Your home is looking so festive!

Thank you, I have officially been inspired. I think I will have to start decorating. I love your arm warmers, you did an awesome job knitting them. They look perfect. :) I love your stove, even with the tape. Thanks for inviting me into your home, I feel like an old friend. God Bless You and have a great week. :)

How pretty. I love the arm warmers, too. I haven't tried that pattern yet.

I love the crystal tree - it's lovely! Tape is a good idea - I'm stealing that idea to keep the cat from sleeping on my sewing projects!

Merry Christmas, bloggy friend!

How did I miss this post? Oh I know... I have this friend who sends me links to really cute stuff and funny videos... and I get side tracked. Mmm hmmm.
I have my suspicions about Mr. Precious... he looks like he's ready to email off some links.

Lovely post! And it is so nice to see that my little kitty isn't the only one that likes to sit on my computer.
Happy Holidays!
