While visions of sugar plums....

Christmas decorations are finally flying out of their dusty boxes and into their proper place around our home.  You may have guessed by now that red is my favorite color and a fair amount of that particular hue can be seen in these images.  I believe in adding a touch of Christmas to each room even if it's just the smallest touch of holiday cheer. 


Every time I walk through the door, I want to dive into this bed.  This is my view across the hall from my paint room where I sit at my computer.  It's always beckoning me to come and take a little nap.


Lots and lots of crocheted blankets are ready at the foot of the bed for those very chilly nights.


Cheery pillows in my favorite chair for reading....


Our cat, Bailey's, favorite place to nap the day away....


Simply change out your candles and add tiny sugar plum wreaths....


I'm off to crochet the night away making gifts as I watch my favorite Christmas movies.  Are you making any gifts this year?

  1. Wow. I want that bed and all it's crochet goodness! I AM making gifts this year. A few embroidered wall art hoops, a knitted cowl, and hopefully some paintings. We'll see how my plans play out...

  2. Yes, simple ones, though, not like your lovely afghans. I'm crocheting scarves.

    I need to decorate my bed better. I have only our stockings hung. A bit of greenery would be lovely and easy to do. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Now, if you read my post today, you'll know that I think you should be allowed to dive right into that bed for a lovely nap every now and then.
