My wonderful decoration

I have to say though, one of the best things we did this year was to make a hanging centre piece over the kitchen table.  Now it is decorated in the winter and Christmas spirit but I can decorate it anyway I want at anytime of the year. :)

I am thinking a cute birds nest for the spring and maybe sunflowers for the summer :)

The first thing we did was went for a walk with a saw :)  I looked all over for a log that was just right and when I found it my husband cut it for me.  I went with about 4 feet long which is the length that complimented the room.

Then we hung 3 plant hooks from the ceiling and wrapped the log with exact lengths of twine.  I used enough to let it hang about a foot from the ceiling.  I can't go any lower, I have a tall husband lol.

Once it was up and hanging then it was easy peasy.  We just grabbed some garland and other odds and ends I got at our local dollar store and hung them with twine or tied them to the log.

I absolutely love this piece and will definately keep it up all year round.

All the equipment and a bull mastiff to supervise.

My wonderful daughter doing all the heavy lifting lol.

And here is the finished product I personally love snowflakes!

My wonderful Christmas gift.

So Christmas came and went around here and was pretty great.  I got exactly what I wanted which was a beautiful and healthy Aurora.  She had her surgery which they removed her whole leg to the hip and she is in amazing shape.

Well Christmas is all ready to go around here.  The presents are done and now I think its time to get started on my sweater.  A little late I know but at least I will have it for next winter.
