Christmas at my house

It’s become a tradition for the b5 bloggers to share our Christmas trees and other holiday traditions during December. I’ve shared more photos on my new dog blog, The Doggy Blog – you can see them here
Here’s what my house looks like at the moment:

Of course, it’s not Christmas without yo-yo garlands:

Yo-yo garlands seem to end up everywhere…

You’ve already seen this little guy on my tree:

I also have to have lots of hand-made Christmas ornaments – made by myself:

And by my family:

You can also be thrifty when you’re making Christmas crafts – I used leftover upholstery samples to make parts of my stocking:

I’d recommend using strong needles if you want to make your own – I snapped quite a few with this project!

Where can I find a pattern for the ornament you show after the little bird? Thanks.
I’m not a b5 blogger
but I’d love to get in on this tradition.
It’s really neat getting a look into your Christmas traditions. TFS Chloe!
P.S. The stocking is beautiful!!
Hi Karen,
I’ll be posted a how-to for that ornament this week
Eileen – why don’t you post your holiday pics on your blog and share them in the Artsy Bloggers links?
Great minds think alike. LOL
That’s exactly what I was thinking Chloe!
That’s a beautiful tree.
I just found your blog via Stumble.
Your stitched bird ornament is so cute I could just eat it.
Nice blog!
