Sharing Christmas at Shadymont

Whew!!! I am through decorating for Christmas.  I am TIRED!!! Yesterday and today was spent removing the autumn decor and arranging and rearranging the Christmas decor.  I've tried to remind myself that anything I put out has to be put away in a month, so I'm trying to keep it fairly simple.

I started with the mantel.  It holds lighted garland with white and gold ribbon, butterflies and cherubs.  I also made my first coffee filter wreath and hung it above the mantel.  The next one I do will be better hopefully.

 

Next I brought up the small Christmas tree I bought last year.  This year I used silver, white, and red.  I love the little roses I added to get more red accents.


I'll share more in the next few days.  Hope you are enjoying the season.  Can't wait to see what you've done so far. 

I'm joining in the fun parties at
 Saturday Nite Special at Funky Junk Interiors
Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch



Thanks ladies, for hosting these fantastic parties!!!
Please be sure to stop by for a visit.
See you soon!

    Beautiful! I love your mantel, it's gorgeous with lovely white angels and bows. I have lots of ribbon, but don't know how to make big bows. Pretty tree too. Lots of hugs, FABBY

    Your mantle looks so pretty. You did a good job on the coffee wreath and it's perfect above the mantel. I made a music sheet wreath last year, WHEW!!! vowed I would never make another! LOL!
    Love the pretty Noel ornaments!
    I'm getting there on my decorating but still lots to be done.

    hugs

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
