How I then justify filling my house with pine branches, glass baubles and candles and so much more is another story : ) For me that is more a celebration of nature, of the season and creating a warm and inviting asmosphere at home. In our church we believe that one of the most holy places on earth is - or at least - can be the home. So I am trying my best to make our home holy and inviting.
Are you still with me? Hmm, if nothing else, then I just like the look of it. That must be reason enough.
First, here are this years new additions to the ever-growing collection:
It is a wreath, but it is heart shaped, made out of small branches. I love it. I got it at a store called Notre Dame, where they have some fantastic things.
At Notre Dame I also got some metal hearts. I attached some thin metalwire with leafs on the heart and added a gold star to the top. I love the little bell at the end of the star. Not sure why, just think it is so cute. It was super simple to do, took me about 5 minutes and didn't cost very much. They are now hanging in each of my windows in the living room. I had some bad lighting on that picture, but hopefully you will trust me, when I say they look super.
And finally I got two stars covered in tiny little glittery beads. They sparkle a little bit and they look so amazing. This picture definitly doesn't do them justice.
nd finally, at our last crafting night at my house I made this wreath, and it is huge. I was planning on a more streamlined look, but now that is hanging there I find myself liking the little chaotic look of the branches poking out here and there. Inside I put three glittery gold stars. I love stars. I think they look amazing, simple and yet they are a powerful symbol.
Okay, next post will be the last of our christmas decoration ... yes, there is more. But only a tiny bit!
I hope everyone is having a great time making things for themselves, the house or loved ones. I know that I am.
Hope you had a GREAT weekend!
