November complete and December, 2018 ready to write in and trees, trees, trees

Yes, I rushed this calendar, but it's the only time I can show it.  I know I'll be sharing a Friday Smile tomorrow, so that was a no-brainer.  If you want to see the minutia of my life and how incredibly boring it is, feel free to enlarge and laugh.

December is ready to be written in, and as always, I will decorate it once I get a feel for the month.

Because my life is so boring, I thought you might want to see the loom I have created and hope to make a few gifts this month.  No promises, though, since I'm really far behind in everything I have done this month.

 One thing I did accomplish on time was to decorate my house for Christmas.

I just didn't expect the dining room to be so dark, even Photoshop couldn't do much to help.

The close-up didn't help, either.  One thing you COULD see was the snow we got overnight.

My very first tree

was a gift I received nearly 20 years ago from a dear, dear friend.  It has held up well, even after I added the tiny rocking horses to the original decorations.

These little trees I purchased a few years ago.  The large one was decorated, the other two I decorated myself.

I usually put out an extra stocking in case someone comes by, but I broke my other rocking horse holder, so there are now only enough for the three of us.   Every year Bleubeard insists the one with the white balls is NOT his stocking!

I put small trees out everywhere, because I have no room for a full sized tree.

I created this vignette one year so I can give Santa cocoa and a sandwich when he comes to visit.

My favorite rocking horse (please don't tell the others) is the one Susi gave me for my birthday this year.  

Even the glittery ball filled tree can't compare to this rocking horse's beauty.

I decided to try to see if these trees would show up better from this angle.

Nope.  I'll show the rest another day.

This is also Day 29 of Art Every Day Month (AEDM).  One more day and this project can be called complete.
