December-ing

Yep!  We got our Christmas tree on the weekend.

The girls love decorating it so much I just leave them to it.  The short one decorates the bottom and the tall one deals with the top bits.

My job is just to remember where I've stashed all that quilty sew-y stuff I've made over the years and fling it here and there to Christmas up the view.

First there are the cushion's on the sofa - despite having my first Christmas fabric line out this year, so far I didn't manage any new seasonal cushion-y goodness (big fail) but I do like to repeat to myself that  'there is still time'.

I got my Cherry Christmas 'Vintage Holiday' quilt out and I'm feeling so happy I got this one done over the summer while I had the time.  Pattern can be found here.

Table runner - I used the blocks from my Jolly quilt pattern to make this - again it got squeezed in sometime in July.

This is my seat -  Yep! Right next to Le Christmas Tree.

Here's an overview - My house is tiny but I prefer to call it cosy, can you see how everything is jigsawed in there?

That's it for now.  I'm sure I made a few more bits and pieces and I'll be showing you those just as soon as I remember exactly where I put them :)

I love your blog, fabrics, and patterns. I enjoy your pictures too! Do you know of anyone who might still have the Walk in the Woods line of your fabric? I am dying to get my hands on the red riding hood piece!
Thanks Carol

Oh everything looks so festive! And those little houses n the bookcase are adorable!

Hi Carol,

The Little red print is getting quite hard to find now but I saw this listed on etsy just now - http://www.etsy.com/listing/94510426/aneela-hoey-for-moda-walk-in-the-woods?ref=sr_list_12&ga_search_query=aneela+hoey&ga_view_type=list&ga_ship_to=GB&ga_order=date_desc&ga_page=0&ga_search_type=supplies&ga_facet=suppliesaneela+hoey
It's at a pretty normal price too :)

Wow, it looks so lovely with all your handmade Christmas projects :) I've not managed to do much this year, but hopefully I will by next year and then my lounge can look this good :) I especially love the little houses on your bookshelf!

[Mary]

I always love seeing how you decorate for Christmas! Everything is so cute and just right! :)

[Jeni]

So cheerful and festive, I love your tree! And all the wonderful quilty things of course :):)

[Penny]

Wow! That looks amazing! I just made some stockings using Cherry Christmas, not quite as much handmade in my livingroom... but someday!

[Tiara]

I know its hard to work on Holiday things in July but its so worth it to have a finished project come December . Everything looks so great!

Everything looks so cheerful and Christmasy. I'm not decorating this year, going away for Christmas and my cats would just take the tree down without supervision ~ thanks for the treat of seeing yours!

cute, cute decorations. I love the little houses.

[Hildy]

Yes, there's still time;-) At least that's what I'm keep telling myself. Love your decoration! Hildy

[Kristy]

Everything looks wonderful. I am so intrigued however...where does that secret door on the wall behind your couch and tree go to? Maybe someplace magical where you get all of your creative inspiration. If I understand correctly, this will be your last Christmas in this home as you will be moving. Please tell your girls they did a great job decorating the tree. Kristy in Ohio

So cute! We live in a cozy house too : ) Love all the cushions on the couch and your cherry christmas is my very favorite christmas fabric, I love it so much! Your projects with it are all so pretty!

[Julie]

The short and the tall did a great job on the tree. Your home is certainly looking a lot like Xmas. I will relent this year and get Miss E & Z to help me put mine up to celebrate Miss A's first Xmas.

Cozy is so much better than getting lost in too much space. I think it leads to better communication.

[Flying Blind]
