Christmas at last.....

This week I have put up my decorations and am finally starting to feel a bit 'Christmassy'.  I'm not sure where last week went but I know it was busy. My grandson Jake has gone to stay with his Mum for the school holidays. Before he left, he got a really lovely report from his teacher as well as good marks in many of his subjects, so I am very proud of him. Now I am just trying to finish off a few things before I run out of time and Christmas Day is here.
Here are some photos I took today.

Our tree

Wooden painted Santas

These are some ornaments I painted when I was in my Folk Art phase. My teacher was the lovely Teresa of All Things Vintage.

Since we changed to a small tree last year, my extra baubles go here.

My Tis the Season getting another airing this year.

I asked Kerryanne  from Shabby Art Boutique to  paint this for me.  She had a special on a while ago so I jumped at the chance to have a stocking hanger with my four grand children's names on it. The stocking in the middle says 'Our Grandkids'.  I love it.  The triangle trees on either side are ones I painted a few years ago.    

My darling grand-daughter arrived safely home from her 4 months exchange at university in the USA today so I am one happy Grandma and look forward to catching up with her in the next day or two.

To close, here is something I am working on. A banner with seven triangles, I have some printed labels from Sweetwater to add to the red striped ones.  Should look good when I finish. Well must go and do some stitching.  Till next time........  Hugs.........
