Christmas Decorations!!!

[Janet]

Hi ladies...we've talked at different times about things we've made and I know I've mentioned that I like to do woodworking when I have the time. Here are some Christmas decorations that I've made.

more.... These and the ones before were made out of pieces of plywood.

These next ones I made out of landscaping timbers. I can tell after posting all the pictures that I need to get the paint out and do some touch up work...LOL

[AngieDoogles]

Wow Janet, you did a great job!!! Your decorations remind me of my grandparents woodwork. They used to do a lot of that kind of stuff. I would always be so happy of they let me paint something.

These are all so cute Janet. I love Christmas decorations.

Janet!!!! You've been hiding your talents from us!!!! Those are all so cute!!! I really liked the timber snowmen. They are adorable! Does your husband cut your designs out for you? My husband doesn't do any thing with wood.

[Janet]

No, I got a scrollsaw one year for Christmas and I do all of it. Now we have alot of woodworking tools so it makes it easier. I don't do much in the summer though...hot and sticky and the sawdust sticks to me. I really enjoy it when it's not too hot out.

[DianaB]

I've always thought that it would be really handy to have woodworking tools but I don't think that I'd use them very much! You know......another thing to have sit around and take up room!

[Janet]

I know how you feel Diana. I just posted on another thread that I would like to try making the cards, but I haven't read in a long time, sewn anything for a long time and haven't even done woodworking for quite a while. I love doing those things...time just has a way of slipping away and now that we have 4WT, I'd rather be here with all of you.

Those are really excellent snowman, Janet! Wow!

[Mandy]

Those are gorgeous Janet, i love them!

They are really nice Janet. I know how much work they are since my step dad and my uncle did this type of work for years as a hobby. You did a good job.

Here is my home ready for Christmas. I didn't put out as many decorations as I use to. Just not enough places to sit things. I feel like I live in a small flea market as it is with what I have sitting around every day of the year.

First of is my family room, in the second picture you can see my phone Diana. The 3rd picture is my living room (tree). Pretty plain and nothing special about it. I didn't put the bottom row of limbs on it this year. Hangs too low when the gifts are under the tree. My dear friend Lynne has talked me into waiting until after Christmas to get a new tree when they will be on sale.

Last is the kitchen. I've got my tins stacked up ready to be washed. I always make something for the neighbors and use tins or the plastic kind to put the treats in.




Hi Debbie!!! Just saw you posted while I was getting this post ready!! Hope you're feeling good today. I think of you a lot during my days and will continue to say prayers until you are dancing around from beating this illness completely, and it's going to happen!

[Forgivenmom5]

Thanks Janet. I have felt really well for a few days. I know I will beat this but I don't know about the dancing--never could do that well--but after this is over I might try.

Your house looks really nice. I am working on mine--don't think I will do much out side like I usually do. I don't think I will have the energy to climb around and hang lights.

[Janet]

Since I posted my decorations that I made....I just wanted to say, the shelves on the wall in my family room....I made those too.


Diana, now you can see the faux painting I had done. Not the best I like yours soooo much better. I'm going back to white and then doing my kitchen like yours. I love it.
