I thought, since I love Christmas decorations, that I would give you a tour of our home. Plus, The Nester is hosting a tour of homes today. I figured I would be better late than never.
The buffet in our dining room is full of fun stuff: a present-shaped cookie jar, a reindeer name plate, a pretty candle, a frame with our Christmas picture in it and my favorite find, a cake stand with a verse from Luke on it.
This year I've also caught the quilting bug. I saw this pattern by Sandy Gervais and I just had to do it. It's called Adoring and it was so easy.
It's in my dining room so everyone can see it.
I love our tree. It's a Martha Stewart tree, but you can't really tell it's not real. Except for no smell and no needles, which is perfect for me. I was informed by Zoe that WE.HAVE.TO.HAVE.A.STAR. on the top. That's next year's plan.
We can't forget the actual nativity. It's a Little People kind, which is so fun to play with.
We don't actually have a mantel, so the stockings are hung on the window with care.
A wreath from N's childhood!
A snowman star over our laundry room door.
A little bling for the kitchen.
Hop over to The Nester to check everyone else out.

Wonderful quilt, "easy" you say? Maybe for you talented sewing folks! Me, I like to admire other people's handiwork, so thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!
What a cute cakestand just waiting for that cake! I’m having a Christmas Open House on the 16th…you love to have you join in!
Blessings,

Love that quilt! Sewing is on my list of things to learn in 2011. If you're ever in West Linn you have to check out Holly Hill Quilt Shoppe (http://www.hollyhillquilts.com/), I totally want to live in that store, it's so gorgeous!
