I've been in a crafting mood lately and with Valentine's right around the corner it's been easy to become inspired. I love all the hoop art you see across blogland and decided to make some Valentine Hoop Art. It's a fun and easy project to do, plus I have so many hoops I've pick up [...]
It's amazing to me that in a few days 2012 will be behind us... it seems like only yesterday I was posting my 1st year end Recap for 2011. I am so thankful to each and every one of you who have stopped by for a visit. Who have taken the time to read about [...]
The sun didn't pop out her shinny head but I was able to take a few photos of our Christmas tablescape. A simple tablescape, didn't dig through the many boxes downstairs, kept a woodland theme. The centerpiece is based on top of a little metal sled. I filled in with some bottle brush trees, the [...]
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...WAIT... our stockings aren't hung by the chimney with care! Our stockings were hung on the ladder with care... Which is OK with me! This year it's been about keeping it simple and nature inspired...and a ladder could be classified as nature? One stocking was hung using [...]
I'm busy, busy, busy enjoying Christmas decorating the last two weeks...using a tradition and natural style. Today I put together a Nature Inspired Christmas Wall Art project that I used on my small staircase wall. Here's how the wall looked decorated in a fall leaf look. An easy, nature inspired look... as you can [...]
Yesterday I shared with you our Natural Christmas Cone Tree I made with Evergreen clippings. I made a smaller tree because I wanted to use it in our Christmas Buffet Vignette. Do you ever notice when taking photos you either have too little light or too much light? Today the light was flooding in! [...]
It's nearly two weeks to Christmas, and Mr. Charmer and I haven't put up a tree yet? It's not because we don't want one, it's just our focus as been on our beloved Laid Back Bo. Spending as much time as we can with each other, short walks of 3 houses up and back, walking [...]
I've been having fun using different evergreen trimmings from our garden for our holiday decorating. Yesterday I started working on a candle vignette and decided to add some Natural Candle Bobeches. What is a Candle Bobeche? It's a decorative collar to catch wax drippings - also used to add/suspend glass crystals on chandeliers. I [...]
It's been so beautiful the last two days that Mr. Charmer and I have been outside decorating the house. Today we are sharing our Christmas Porch! My starting point was adding this old ladder. Some garland was hung, and a few ornaments added. An old rocking chair that I found on the curbside, solid oak [...]
Our Christmas mantel was done earlier in the week but I wasn't up to sharing until today. I'd like to share with you our simple, red and white themed Christmas Mantel. I'm not one to decorate with white, it just happened when I decided I wouldn't remove my Hydrangea wreath. If you'd like to [...]
