Decorating my Special Lanterns For Christmas

By

My husband really likes the way I’ve decorated the lanterns he gave me. I’m quite happy with the way they turned out.
These lanterns are special to me. It took me awhile to figure out how to decorate them without permantly changing the lantern body. I’m happy with the way I figured it out.
For the lower part, I took some plastic canvas and cut it large enough to fit like a collar on the lamps. I sat it on a piece of parchment paper to protect my table. I cut up a few inexpensive flower bouquets and hot glued them around the plastic canvas.
For the top, I crocheted a collar and hot glued some greenerery and bows on them.
Both of these decoration accessories are removable from the lanterns.
I had a fun day of designing and creating these decorations for my lanterns.
I’m probably going to make other decoration accessories for the lantern for other special times of the year. I think it’d be fun.

Wishing you all happy holiday crafting!

 

 

Bit of Snow for Christmas

By

Here in my neck-of-the-woods, we got a bit of snow the 23rd of December. The -20° wind chill was the worst part though.
The wind flipped over my 4 deceased mums that I had left on the porch. I plan on tossing them away sometime.
The wind has calmed down. The snow is still laying around, but thankfully the roads are clear.
I know it’s not much snow, but for me it was good to have a manageable bit of snow on Christmas day. Snow always seems to add an extra bit of that ol’ holiday magic. ☃️
The temperature stayed in the single digits, until Christmas day, then it warmed up to 25°F.
Rumor has it, the weather forecasters predict, that it’s going to warm up to the mid 50’s by next weekend… We are hoping for it to be so.

My heart goes out to all the folks in the regions who are in freezing and/or blizzard conditions. I hope you all are bundled up and hunkered down and make it through this horrible weather safely.
I send you all my warmest thoughts for a heat wave to thaw out your regions and life gets back to normal soon.
I pray the worst of snows and freezing cold is over with for this winter. 🙏
Stay warm and safe. ❤️
