Harlean's Christmas Yard ArtHere are a couple pictures of the yard art that my husband and I make. They are hand cut from birch plywood and handpainted. The figures in the Charlie Brown Christmas display are about 24 inches tall, and the Grinch who stole Christmas is 48 inches tall.
Fallen Ladder Joke Christmas DecorationThis was my Christmas decoration this year. Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year.
Christmas DecorationBought wood stockings, painted them, used lace, twine, buttons, beads. All materials I had on hand.
Poinsettia TreeThis is the most beautiful poinsettia Christmas tree I have seen this year. I took the photo in the dining room of our local hospital in Elizabethton, TN. The colors are so warm and vibrant!
Rosemary Plant as Mini Christmas TreeI got this rosemary plant during the summer and brought it in for the winter. With a little trimming it became a wonderfully aromatic Christmas tree in the corner of my parlor. Double duty and lovely!
Christmas Decorated SeatOur church had this large chair sitting in the front of our church for a couple of months and they decided to discard it. We brought it home and put it in our front yard and I have it decorated for Christmas.
My Roscoe Beagle Christmas TreeThis small cedar tree sprouted in our side yard a few years ago, I decided to put a small red Christmas ornament on it and call it my Roscoe Beagle Christmas tree. We had a Beagle named Roscoe. It is a "take-off" of the famous Beagle cartoon series with his friend Charlie!
Angel Bell OrnamentThis is an angel I found at a yard sale. It was rather old, but so adorable. It is comprised of a wooden ball for the head and a large bell for the body. It was so cute, I had to share it. It also rings, so sweet!
Christmas Tree TablescapeI adorned my dining room table with a red plaid tablecloth, poinsettia place mats, and red table napkins. The centerpiece was a small artificial Christmas tree with a burlap bottom.
Christmas BouquetThis Christmas bouquet is made from excess Christmas decorations. I recycled them to create this; like flowers in a vase.
Upside Down Christmas TreeThis is my upside down Christmas tree. It is artificial and with bigger branches on the top. I put 1200 LED lights and 400 regular lights (so the ornamotions will work).
Heart Ornament and Noodle AngelsMy friend sent me this heart ornament for Christmas a few years ago. I hung it in front of the calendar and happened to have these noodle angels I had made handy so I hung them together.
Christmas LightsThis photo is my fiance's grandparents' house. They pulled the old semi into the yard and decorated it! The deer in front are "pulling" the semi. Creative idea!
Angel Glass BlockI wanted to try a new craft so I thought I would try something with a glass block. I have a home office and wanted something in it for the holidays, but not with the traditional red and green colors.
Use Christmas Fleece For Holiday DecorationsI found this beautiful fleece early in the season and used it to make a tree skirt and covers for tables. Then I made a blanket for the couch and a couple of pillows. I have gotten a lot of compliments on how pretty it looks.
Train Village with Nativity SceneTo make this train station and town with a nativity set, you will need a sheet of plywood (4 x 8 feet) placed on two carpentry horses and covered with green felt cloth.
Christmas Window DecorationsI finally put up the kitchen curtains, after being in my new house for 9 months. Better late than never, and with Christmas right around the corner, it really gave me some motivation. Not to mention my family will be here in 3 days.
Thanks for the Memories!While going through and sorting our Christmas decorations, I came across the stockings and the little Santa Cap that I had for my Basset Hounds from many years ago.
Tree Skirt SetThese are little tree skirt sets I made. One is for my daughter and the other for my grand-daughter.
Holiday: Christmas Yard DecorationsThe photos were taken to show all of the Christmas theme decorations put up over the entire front yard this year. We decorate every year. Most of our yard decorations are at least ten years old.
Larger Than Life Christmas TreeDue to the economy, we decided to get a tiny Christmas tree this year. Even though it's still adorable and just as loved as a huge tree would be, I giggle at how small it is.
Red Hat Angel Christmas DecorationI always try to add some humor to my home. For the holidays, this is my red hat angel.
Perler Beads Christmas VillageThis is a Christmas village. All the houses and the people, fences and snowman were all made from Perler beads. I had to count the beads and use the peg boards to make them. Then I had to iron all of them so they could stay together.
Making Christmas OrnamentsChristmas ornaments I am making for Christmas to put on the tree. Made with plastic canvas.
Tabletop Christmas TreeSpray a tomato cage gold for Christmas. Turn it big side down, tie the legs together with wire or a twist-tie at the top, and there's a quick and easy tabletop tree.
