Our first tree


I know this looks a bit like a Subaru commercial....but it is our first Christmas tree for our Oregon home. If you are wondering about the house in the oak tree- it is an owl box. It is still "for rent."

I sold all my ornaments at a massive yard sale before we moved, so I decided to use my collection of vintage baby shoes, mittens and socks to decorate the tree....

They are so precious and have so much history, I love the way they speak of many small feet and hands, many Christmas times long ago....

Here is the finale!

Studio Progress


This is what happens when you ask for a sink! (Notice the wine celler inserted in the middle...I had to compromise some space for my hubby.) Thankfully we have progressed to the drywall stage. It has to be done and painted before Christmas - I have company coming!!
