Snowy Day =D

Hello!

It was such a beautiful day today! It started snowing around 9am and came down pretty hard all day, it's still coming down right now, just a little slower.

I loved watching the snow from the window, and enjoyed going for a walk in it even more! =)

 

The pictures that I took really don't do the snow justice, we got around 3-4 inches throughout the day, so it was a really nice coating of white.

 

In this picture the snow was coming down pretty hard, it was like this for most of the day.

 

 

The trees looks gorgeous covered in white, I love snow!

Whenever it snows it seems so still and peaceful....it's amazing!

 

 

Within twenty minutes or so of it snowing the stone wall near our house was already nearly covered, which got me excited for what was to come.

 

 

 

Towards the end of daylight the snow slowed down a little and you could really see just how covered everything was.

 

 

 

Today was such a good day for coffee, popcorn, crocheting, and baking, all of which I had or did....such fun! =D I worked on my shawl...which I would really LOVE to have done by Christmas Eve. We'll see though. The yarn I bought is lace weight, it's so wonderful! I got it from knitpicks and it's 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk.....I can't get over how much I love this yarn! The color is just so beautiful and it feels amazing to work with it! =D I'll definitely post pictures of my shawl when I finish it!

 

I love the way our house looks this year, all decorated for Christmas...and in the snow =)

 

 

That's all for now! Have a great day!

Christmas Decorating

Hello!

It's officially advent! Such a special time of year to celebrate the coming of and birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. There are so many different ways to celebrate, one of my favorite ways to do so is to go crazy decorating the house!

 

 

 The day after Thanksgiving we go to Oakwood Christmas Tree Farm, pick out, and cut down our tree, it's always so much fun!

This year we decided to get a tall, narrow tree....it was a little too tall and ended up hitting the ceiling, nothing a little trimming couldn't fix though! =)

 

Our tree was still all bound up in this picture....it smells so nice!

Here is our tree, beautifully decorated! I always love the way our tree looks! Each year my family decorates our tree together while listening to Christmas music, it's always so fun.

 

 

My sisters and I are sharing a room now, so we went crazy decorating our room together, we each had our own decorations, which meant that we had plenty of things to make the upstairs look like a Christmas Wonderland! Yay! =D

 

Entering the upstairs....

 

 

 

At the top of the stairs is my tree, and PART of my older sister's village collection, which is absolutely GORGEOUS! =) (This is the only picture of it I got though.)

 

 

 

This is my little village, it's so cute!

 

 

This is my little sister's tree, it looks so nice at the end of her bed!

 

In this picture, to the left, is my desk, I really LOVE the way it looks in the opened closet!

 

 

The whole reason for Christmas.....I love my Nativity set!

 

 

This is a really awful picture, but it's my little sister's village set.

 

Lastly, my older sister's Christmas tree....it's so pretty!

 

 

So, in my sister's and my bedroom, we have countless strands of lights, 3 Christmas trees, 3 Nativity scenes, 3 village sets, TONS of ornaments, paper snowflakes, and I'm sure there are other things that I can't remember!

 

 

Lastly, I made a hat for our etsy shop....I really love the way it came out! =)

It was a very easy pattern and worked up really quickly!

 

 

The pattern says it's a "beanie hat", it's worn kind of on the back of your head.

 

 

 

I hope everyone is having a great week, the first week of advent! =D I love this time of year!

Have a wonderful day!
