Hi all! It is always a hard transition for me when I take down the Christmas decorations and then have to wait until Valentine's Day again. The house just seems so bare and forlorn. So this year I decided to have a little "winter" decor for the month of January. Just a few "wintery" items...pine cones and snowmen...tree branches...and some silver and white that I put up. I also decided to make a new table runner for my table. I just used three 14x14 inch squares of fabric and sewed the sides together, then cut 3 inch strips of burlap the length and width of the sewn fabric and sewed that on the edges. I then sewed on the various doilies. I cut some fabric the same size for the back and sewed that on. Now I have a "winter" table runner. Do you decorate for winter? When do you start putting up decorations for Valentine's?
Hope you have a FABBY WINTER day! Hugs, Cheryl
I love how you've brought a little of the outdoors in! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your decorations Cheryl, the table runner is lovely! I have a beautiful large hand crocheted doily that I leave on the table all the time and a blue and white fruit bowl that was my mom's sits atop. I usually don't decorate for Valentines as I leave certain things I make up all the time. I have my ghost garland in my craft room and different favorites on the boards. I will have a favorite Valentine that I leave out, but I have no children at home. Have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteI don't decorate for winter!!! But, yours is really lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table runner.
ReplyDeleteYep, I have to take down the christmas decor, but before Valentine's decor is up, I have the Chinese New Year decor to do!
That turned out SOOOO great!! I love how the dollies look like snowflakes and makes it just perfect for winter!

Oh, yes.....I DEFINITELY decorate for winter!! :) Love having a bit of a festive touch in my home throughout the year. It's especially nice in the winter, I think, after all the glam of the holidays. LOVE your table runner. So love the mix of the burlap and the doilies. Makes such a pretty table!
