This has been the first year since my mom passed away 4 years ago that I have had any interest in decorating for Christmas. This year I even put a small tree in my bedroom. Other years I went though the motion for my kids and grandchildren, but this year I finally enjoyed decorating. I even bought one of those green ceramic trees with lights that probably all houses had several years ago. My mom always put hers out at Christmas, so I got one in remembrance of her. Here is some of my decor.
Since I have retired from my school nurse job, I am having fun catching up on some crafting projects.
I finished a pin keep pattern by, Joyce Reed.
I live near an apple orchard so I love getting fresh apples and making apple pies and apple cakes.
I am sharing an apple cake recipe. I use 6 cups of apples instead of the 3 cups. I bake it in a 9" x 13"
pan at 350 degrees, for 45 minutes.
I love watching you tube videos on dollar tree or inexpensive DIY,s. I found a you tuber that I really like. Her you tube channel is called, My DIY, she has the cutest video's and always has her cute dog Coco in the video. I made her Candy Land Christmas swag today using two $1.00 Christmas trees from dollar tree. Supplies are from dollar tree and walmart with the exception of the roll of deco mesh from family dollar.
I will attach the link to her video below.
Here is a picture of my version
I have been working on some Winter/Christmas projects. I just finished my , "Christmas on the Farm" wreath. This was a fun project.
I am not sure what is going on, but I am receiving comments but am unable to leave comments on other blogs. I am enjoying reading your blogs, but don't know how to fix this. Please don't think I am ignoring you. Thanks Lecia Wool applique I had made earlier, Tractors All Around, pattern by Buttermilk Basin
It's not too early to be thinking of Christmas projects. I finished this wool applique, by "Buttermilk
Basin", it was a fun project.
I really like the beauty of Fall. The leaves changing, the crisp cool air, apples, apple cider, pumpkins, a
toasty fire in a woodstove. West Virginia in the fall.

made 2 new wreaths for fall. I love decorating my 3 tier tray for the different seasons, sharing a photo.
