I already had a wreath on the door, so I put some garland, lights, and ribbon on our porch step railings. I think I’m doing a red theme this year.
I also did garland and ribbon with red lights on our balcony railing.
I like it, but I hope to get more garland after Christmas when it’s all on sale so I can really decorate next year.
Love,
Tiff
Happy December 1st! Brendan and I started our Star Wars Lego advent calendar this evening.
How are you counting down this year?
Love,

I think it’s no secret that I love fabric. I usually have no qualms about buying yardage even if I don’t have a particular project in mind. However, holiday fabric does give me pause. I love how cute and pretty some of the prints can be, but I do hesitate (just a little) to purchase any because I really have no clue what to do with it. This being said, I still have a decent stash of Christmas fabric. I knew I couldn’t—-and didn’t want to—make multiple stockings or quilts, but I couldn’t think of anything I would want to make. Until I thought about the “green” movement and got an idea: reusable gift bags!
I’m just using fabric I already have in my stash to make these pretty lined drawstring bags using this tutorial.
I decorated a new grapevine wreath for our front door.
I used red berries, a chipper Cardinal, and some printed ribbon with floral wire and my trusty glue-gun. Cinnamon scented pinecones were daubed with vanilla paint to look like snow. I purchased everything from Michael’s. I can’t wait to do something to my stair rails, too.
Happy decorating!
Love,
Tiff
Brendan and I have so many things to be thankful for: each other, our families, our jobs, and our beautiful house to name a few. This year we celebrated thanksgiving at home as a couple. It was wonderful.
the daisies are from Mom Sullivan
On Saturday Brendan and I took Duke for a walk on one of the many paths at McHenry Dam.
