Pinecones in a Pail-10 Minute Christmas Project
I have been working & working to re-design my blog. I think I finally got it the way I want it, but boy was it a lot of work!!!! I am not very smart when it comes to computer stuff, so it was definitely a challenge!! I hope you all like my new look as much as I do :) I have another 10 minute Christmas project for you. I found my inspiration for this one over at Restoration House blog.
I had everything I needed for this around the house!! Love it when that happens :)
It needed a little heighth, so I plopped it on this little pot.
I actually went out in the yard & looked for the perfect sticks for this.
I am loving the simplicity of the pinecones & sticks paired with the elegance of the ribbon & balls.....
I am so not ready for Christmas....just because I will miss my Christmas decor terribly.....

Christmas Cloche-Another 10 minute Christmas project
I was inspired by this adorable cloche over at Fox Hollow Cottage. Her blog is just darling!!
I had some vintage Christmas ornaments that my dear friend gave to me & I hadn't found a project to use them with yet, so this was exciting for me!!
This little cheese dome/candlestick combo turned cloche was one of my very 1st projects. I have had it in my dining room with various things in it & thought it would be cute with some fake snow & a few of the vintage ornaments.
I think it adds just the right amount of Christmas cheer to this little cupboard.
Another project done in 10 minutes or less!!

10 Minute Christmas Project
We are all busy during the holiday season, so 10 minute projects are good projects right!?! I spent my Sunday afternoon at a photo shoot with my sister & my sweet baby niece. That's what's keeping my busy these days :) Anyways, let's get down to business.
I found this lantern type thing in the free barn at the dump. I stuck it in the garage until I could figure out what to do with it. Then I got some {pin}spiration & came up with this. I didn't paint it, it looked okay the way it was. I did have to add a piece of glass though. Since I didn't want to go have a piece measured & cut I used glass out of an old picture frame. It didn't fit perfectly so that is the back side ;)
Filled it with thrift store Christmas balls & pinecones.
I think it really came to life when I added it to my Christmas vignette.
Stay tuned for more 10 minute Christmas projects!!
My Christmas Decor
I have been decorating my house for Christmas since about the 3rd week of November, as I completed a Christmas project I went ahead & added to my decor until November 22nd when my husband finally agreed to put up the tree. Even though I have been super busy spoiling my new niece, I am still adding and making changes on a regular basis & probably will be until Christams day!! I love the festive look & the cozy feeling it gives my home :) Here are a few (thousand) photos of what I have so far ;)
This buffet is in my living room. I bought it from a little shop about a year ago. It was kind of a blond color. My husband painted it for me & I kept the original hardware. It's gorgeous...I love the Christmas vignette I have set up on top. The lantern type thing is a project I will be blogging about soon. The candle holder was in my pile of stuff to sell or donate when I decided a new paint job could spruce it up. I think I like it now :) I really love to frame old snapshots of my kids from past Christmases & add them to my decor.
A view from one corner of my living room. You can see my embroidery hoops on the wall & my mirror & tree project :)
I wrapped some boxes to sit in the fireplace. The smallest one is wrapped in Christmas sheet music.
Some Christmas cheer added to my milk glass collection.
The wreath I hung on my dining room mirror.
My {Christmasfied} cloche. This adorable little cupboard was given to me by a friend. I will blog about the cloche soon!!
I still have my drop cloth curtains.
My kitchen, all lit up. This is a desk area in my kitchen. My milk glass collection has overflowed.
Some of my ornaments.
I got all the kids Christmas gifts wrapped last night, while watching Christmas movies :)
Are you all finished up with your Christmas decorating??
