A Little Monogram

December 19, 2012 at 8:37 am (Projects)

Like everyone else lately, I have been completely addicted to Pinterest. I have been seeing many ideas for monogram letters and it has been on my to-do list (which is always long) to make one for us. I finally got around to this quick project!

I made my letter “L” out of cardboard, by drawing the letter freehand and then cutting it out with a utility knife.

I then traced the letter on scrapbook paper that was perfect for our decor. I used some twine and some fabric. I have other embellishment ideas, but this is where I left it for now. Cute and simple.

Things are always changing in the house, but for right now our “L” is in the living room, tucked into a frame.

Thanksgiving 2012 and Our Christmas Tree

December 18, 2012 at 8:35 am (Seasonal Decor, Tid Bits)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have been very busy here lately (when are we not?), so we had a quiet Thanksgiving celebration here alone on Thanksgiving day and celebrated with family on the weekends. I thought I would share our simple table for two:

Simple, yet festive. Just what the two of us needed for a quiet dinner at home. 🙂 And, of course, there were antlers.

The rest of the weekend? We got ready for hunting season and found the perfect Christmas tree.
