Deck the Lights!

With the help of a little retail therapy....I found the materials I needed to create a new swag...

When I wandered into Anthropologie a week or so ago....a young girl greeted me and asked if I was there to splurge on myself....well let me tell you, either that was a brilliant marketing ploy or I am just a easy target {could very well be}, but that is all she had to whisper in my ear.  Before she was out of sight I was filling my oversized basket with lots of goodies!

So with some felt balls and some wool roping I braided and stitched a little swag for my kitchen light....

Every Christmas I decorate my tin light with evergreen garland and bows, but this year I thought I would change things up a bit....

   

I simply braided the roping and attached the felt balls with perle cotton....

Change is good!

And the weather is dreary, wet and cold...so some holiday stitching does wonders for the attitude :)

Happy Tuesday!
