Life Interrupted



Life Interrupted



Everyone has seasons in their life. 
 Some seasons are more calm and sedate while other seasons are a blur.

Right now I'm in the season of blur with a sand storm of interruptions.

I can't even go into everything we've been through this past year.
Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Kids are now in high school and middle school = living in my car.
All while trying to run a business.

Busy

Busy














Kids are now in high school and middle school which means tons of driving. 
 I threatened to start charging Boy Wonder for mileage.

Woodland Christmas

Woodland Christmas
 
 






 





 
 
 
 
 
Besides the embroidery hoop ornaments and the mushrooms-everything else was already on hand.
 
Oh wait, except the greenery I borrowed from my Mom and Grandma.
 
Kinda of scaled down for us but it was fun just to get all the little trees with lights in them.
 
The kids even opted just to put a little tree in their bathroom with no ornaments just lights.
 
 

 
 
Snow claimed the Christmas blanket made by Grandma right away. 
 
 
 
 
Happy Holidays

Accessories Christmas Tree

 
 
 
 
Yesterday it was
 Operation: Deck the Halls.
 
We spent the day over at my folks decorating their house for Christmas.
 
The kids were very helpful putting the tree together while Mom and I were rummaging through their house finding items for the tree.
 
 
 
 
 
Mom and I came up with the idea of doing an accessories tree last year while we were decorating.
 
 
 



















 
 
 
 
Hats, purses, gloves, shoes, books, doilies, scarves, aprons, stockings, pearl necklaces, and parasols were used.
 
I brought over the black and white ribbon. 
 We used some red sparklers(the only thing that was from the Christmas boxes).
Fleur de lis, feathers, bow made by Mom, and parasol(precariously stuck in the tree by Moi) were the tree toppers. 
 Who said you need just one thing on top of the tree?
 
It really is spectacular in person. 
 
Definitely one of a kind tree.
 
This was such a fun tree to put together, Mom and I were discussing what color theme we could do next year.
 
 
 
Today is
 
Operation: Deck Our Own Halls.
 
 
Kids are still in bed.
Fall decorations need to be put away.
We shall see how much our halls get decked today!
