Good Times

Christmas was perfect surrounded by good friends and family.

Santa Was Here

Santa came early this year! I used my stash of vintage lace in place of ribbon and I like the way it looks. Midas decided to open two of his gifts early. I wonder how he knew which ones were for him!!

Elf Judy

Yes, I've been a busy elf : )

The Wreath

The door looks so much better with the new wreath. I love the apples best.

Christmas Baby Bonnet

I adore making these newborn bonnets. I use chunky yarn so they finish up really fast which is always a good thing. I love how the back goes up into a point on top, so pixieish! I also like the built-in beard effect, look out Santa! This hat would make the perfect photography prop for baby's holiday photos.

Christmas Sneak Peek

Just a glimpse at our mantle. This is our first Christmas together and our first Christmas in our new home. It will be special. Midas will have his own stocking too : )
