Cozy Christmas Frame

By 14 Comments

For Christmas this year I’ve been decorating in a cozy cabin kind of feel which includes the popular buffalo checks and plaids and woodsy types of elements. Here’s a peek of some of our decor. I hope to get a small home tour up tomorrow.

A cozy cabin feeling Christmas

I thought it might be fun to cover a craft store frame with a wool sweater to add to my decor, so I went to my local thrift store and found a 100% wool sweater and washed it to shrink it. They call this technique “felting” because it shrinks the fibers and makes it feel more like felt. I’m thrilled with how my Cozy Christmas Frame came out. Here’s what I came up with.

Banana Squash Casserole

Hello Friends! We sure do love and appreciate our readers. Thanks so much for stopping by.

I am such a casserole lover. How about you? I really like a meat and potatoes dish, but for me I love the combinations of good casseroles. This recipe for Banana Squash Casserole is a great one because it combines creamy goodness, chicken, and my favorite squash, yellow banana squash. I also like how versatile it is. It’s light and makes a great warm weather meal plus it is comforting and perfect for the colder months. 

Delicious and creamy casserole recipe.

Christmas Words

By 53 Comments

Hello Everyone! I am a huge fan of the holidays. Are you? However, decorating my home for each Fall and Winter Holiday can get overwhelming. I used to go all out for each special day, but it got to be too difficult and time consuming. I decided to simplify things, but yet create a fun atmosphere for my family. While I was weeding out items I no longer wanted to use I would either donate the items or pass them along to family members and friends. Storing all this stuff was also a problem, but not anymore. 

This year I came up with an idea to create a statement piece that fills a lot of space and helps to create that Christmas feeling, but doesn’t take much room to store.
