Welcome to stop five on this year’s holiday home tour. Today we’re visiting the dining room/front room. This space used to be divided into two small rooms and an entry walkway. Now it’s one big open space that welcomes in all who stops by. The first thing you’ll notice is the entry table which features a watercolor Santa painted by my grandma and a bowl of candy canes, disco balls and Christmas cards received from family and friends. Then we have the main Christmas tree. It’s the perfect spot to cuddle up next to the sparkly tree and read a good book on a snowy day. The holiday drink cart is so very merry. Moving on in to the dining room you’ll find lots of plants. It’s the brightest, sunniest spot in the house. Various Target Dollar Spot village pieces collected over the years are tucked into the plant...

DIY Velvet Hair Bows
12/14/2023
Velvet hair bows are all the rage right now. Who remembers way back in the day when I made hair bows for my daughter which then turned into a little business selling fancy hair bows on Ebay? It’s like riding a bicycle after all these years. I pulled out my ribbon stash and made a collection my own velvet bows in about 10 minutes. I used 1″ velvet ribbon but type of ribbon and any size 1/4″ up to 3″ will work. Here is a little video of me in action making a bow. That is all there is to making your own DIY hair bows.

2023 OUTDOOR HOME CHRISTMAS TOUR | BARN
12/11/2023
Stop two on this year’s Holiday Home Tour is the barn. Christmas at the barn started with only the plain 6-foot wreath a few years ago. Slowly more Christmas cheer is added each year. When we were selecting the landscaping for the barn, I specifically chose the Karl Fuchs cedar for its Charlie Brown Christmas tree look. I absolutely love it – especially when it’s decorated with red and green ornaments. New this year is the 8-foot Santa waving at those entering the neighborhood. Also new this year are the DIY lifesize nutcrackers standing guard. Just down the way from the wholesome Christmas fun, we have Cousin Eddie. “$hi**er’s full.” After dark, instead of the usual Christmas lights, we changed out the barn lights to alternating red and green lightbulbs. Merry Christmas to all! Even Cousin Eddie.
