taking down Christmas

Two weeks ago, we finally took down the tree and decorations. I need to find a large tub of some sort to store the decorations and tree stand for next Christmas.

Our pile of presents under the tree, mostly courtesy of our parents. Plaid tree skirt made by me.

 

Star ornament from Ten Thousand Villages

 

One of the Polish Star/Porcupine Ball/Sea Urchin ornaments. I made four of them. 

They are made from upcycled catalog pages.

Nestled.

Looking at all of it together, it looks like I have a rustic Christmas theme.

Peeking out.

These ornaments have been fun to make. I may continue to make them for gifts and continued use throughout the year.
