I have some old ice skates that I have been trying to decide how to decorate them for the winter/Christmas season. Here is just one idea I like.

Happy Fall

Happy Fall everyone. Sorry I am such a terrible blogger. I can't believe it has been since Valentines since I have blogged anything. I wanted to wish you all a happy fall before it is over. Fall seems to come and go so fast. I love this time of year with all of the beautiful warm colors and the crisp cool temperatures. I know Halloween is this week and for all of you that like Halloween I want to wish you a happy one. For me, I am happy when it is over, (sorry) not my favorite holiday but I Love fall and Thanksgiving! Thanks for being so patient with me and my not so good blogging skills. I love looking at your blogs! You all inspire me. Have a great fall! Hugs Denise

~Valentine Tree~

So I have really been missing the Christmas trees since I took them down. I keep telling hubby the house seems bare and sad now. Definitely ready for a make-over to brighten things up just waiting for spring, better weather, more money, etc. etc. etc....anyway in the mean time I decided to put one tree back up. Don't panic, it's just a small one. Since I don't have a lot of decorations for Valentines Day I decided to make a few fabric hearts and decorate the tree with them. This was a quick and fun project and I think it turned out cute. I love having the lights plugged in at night. I'm thinking I may keep this tree up all year and change the decorations for each holiday or season.

Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by:) ~Hugs~ Denise

Happy New Year!!! I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the new year!! We had a great Christmas season filled with family and friends. Spending time together as a family has been the best and I must admit I was a little sad to send the kids back to school today. I have been putting away the Christmas decorations and the house looks a little bare now. I'm thinking a shopping trip is in order:) Any way, I wanted to share a picture of the quilt that I made this year for my sweet daughter in law Kaylee:

Here she is Christmas morning after opening her quilt. (I think she likes it!)

I'm now ready to start some new projects. Like always I have a list of home improvements that I want to do as well as sewing and craft projects. 2013 promises to be another busy year! I'm excited to get started! I want to wish all of my blogging friends a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! I will be visiting your blogs often. You always inspire me and for that I say THANK YOU! See you all soon, ~Hugs~ Denise
