Winter In The Family Room

Good Morning ! Hope you are all staying warm ! I am sharing our winter decorations in the family room today! I keep up one of the snowman trees at least til the end of January..

 I left the vintage sled on top of the aqua cabinet, and added a winter chalkboard on a silver tray, sitting on a snowman chair , ice skate ornaments , ice skates and a lantern ..
 On the sofa table, I used a snowman platter, another winter chalkboard, lanterns and more skates..
 I used this wooden box to hold a glitter house( my daughter got me this one and also the one in the foyer this year ! Love them ) , 2 jack russells ,some snowflakes and silver branches..
 I decided to take the glittery floral picks off the top of the tree and crochet the snowman a scarf ! Doesn't it just look wintery ?
 All the ornaments on this tree are snowmen , there are alot of cross stitched ornaments..
I left the glitter houses and white garland on the mantel, took down the White Christmas sign and put the clock back up..

I love having the tree and garland lit , its so cozy for the winter..

I left the glitter houses on the coffee table ..all these decorations will stay put until the end of January , maybe into February..

Thanks so much for stopping by ! 
I started a new granny square blanket yesterday , I will show you my progress soon :)

New scarf and SNOW!

Good morning ! I made another one of these 20 row scarves for my daughter.. I think she has about 6 of them now .. She wanted a red one , so here it is crochet scarf pattern ..Very easy instructions ..and very fast to make !


We had about 4 inches of snow on Tuesday,so we took the youngest grandson out on the sled.. he is just adorable !

Then on Thursday we were supposed to get 2-4 inches and we got about 10 ! It was so beautiful.. Yesterday it was raining so alot of it is melted ...

I found this recipe on pinterest for oven baked sweet and sour chicken... It is SO good, but kind of misleading because you do have to brown the chicken before baking in the oven..I baked mine on parchment paper so there wasn't a messy pan to clean :)
 
I also cooked up a few green peppers and used a can of pineapple chunks, when the chicken came out of the oven. They give you a sauce recipe , but since I have alot of jars of sweet and sour sauce for when I make eggrolls I just poured that over the chicken instead of making the sauce. I will definitely be making this again!

 
 
Hope you all have a great week ! Thanks for your visits and nice comments :)

Christmas craftiness


I have been getting a little crafty this week ! I wanted the word JOY to hang on the curio cabinet in the living room, so I cut the letters out with my Cricut, Each letter 3 times, hot glued them together , for stability and glittered them with silver glitter. I then glued a gold organza ribbon to the back of each one and they are push pinned into the top of the cabinet. I love how it looks !


My daughter helped me make another coffee filter wreath , she folded , I glued. I hung it on the china cabinet in the dining room. I added a silver reindeer and gold organza ribbons

I finished off this cross stitch ornament with mini pom pom fringe and some red gingham ..




Yesterday I went to the Good will looking for a big silver tray , This was the only one they had .. it has a little pedestal. I put one of my Fitz and Floys cookie jars.. dept. 56 Santa , greens from the bushes outside and dollar tree glittery ornaments.  It looks so much better than just the cookie jar sitting there.. 



Had to make a reindeer hat for the littlest grandson. Hard to take a good picture because he can MOVE now :) I made a pom pom for the nose and buttone for the eyes.. Could he be any cuter ?





I've crocheted 8 of these circle scarves.. My daughter has already taken 3 of them :) The rest are for gifts.Here is the pattern I used. crochet round scarf instructions
I just could not believe the shootings in Connecticut yesterday. We have relatives in Danbury and we have been to the town that happened in.. It is such a horrible and sad tradgedy ! My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected..
 
Thanks as always for visiitng and your nice comments !
