handmade Christmas:[a peek in our nest]...

 Welcome!  And here's what the Christmas trimmings are looking like in our nest this year:

Fresh cedar. pine cones. red berries. white pillar candles. and a wee owl all nestled on our fireplace mantel.

Ginormous stockings I sewed last year (I love the tree motif fabric).  I know they're big - but all we do as a family are stockings right now... so I want to 'maximise' the moment! ;o)

Mewsli & Tinderpuff seem to enjoy the new arrangement of the couch.   You can see that I did end up adding turquoise ornaments to the doily snowflake mobile hanging over our table.

We pulled the couch out to make room for the tree... so we can sit under it's glow.  Here's the pillow sleeves I stencilled with deer heads last year too.  You can see the advent flags hanging in the window as well.

So that's the merry glow around this nest - and there's the big.gangly tree Ben foraged from the woods!  I made that hand ornament of Azriel when she was only two months old...every year I see it and gasp at how fast she's growing.

Hope you enjoyed the festive tour, 
if you missed what our space normally looks like you can go here to view it.

Hope your day is merry and bright,
Mel ;o)
