It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I started crocheting stockings using this pattern the year my daughter was born and have been doing it ever since. I make them in every size imaginable. A couple of years ago I decided to go with plain red and green - that way, no matter how many grandkids I may have, I can always make  a matching one. They are all unique - a different combination of the colors for every person/animal (pets are at the top - they're part of the family too!)
The shower curtain - you'll notice I have a "thing" for snowmen.


The tree - not real happy with it but it  will have to do.
I even started wrapping presents yesterday!

The spare bedroom - with some of my baskets - waiting to be delivered.
My bed with the Queen napping in her favorite spot. And now I have to go clean those posts!


I made cookies yesterday to fill the cookie jars! The package is ready to send to my brother.
My favorite cookie jar - goes with my snowman dishes. I have the entire set - they come out at Thanksgiving and stay out till New Years.


I got these years ago at the local dollar store. I love them - it always make me sad when I have to put them away for the year.
More of my snowmen!

  1. My youngest daughter loves snowmen. She decorates EVERYTHING with them, from tp holder to front door. She would envy your cookie jar.

  5. I love your decorations! The crocheted stocking made me nostalgic for the ones my mom used to hang on the stairs in our old house. I wonder what happened to them...

  8. Really like the stockings that you made.
    I have some that I've knitted.
    I did a little something different for my grandkids.
    I knitted them all huge mittens instead one year. They loved them.
