~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

~Christmas Table~

A quick peek of our table ready for Christmas! Well Almost ready,...I will hopefully be adding to it so stay tuned:)

~Great Room Christmas Tree~

Here are pictures of our Christmas tree in our great room. I love having a tree in here because we spend more time in here than any other room in our house. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that the kitchen is a part of this room. We Fowdens do love to eat!

My Christmas dishes in my china cabinet:

Have a great weekend!
