Waiting for Santa...

Hello my friends!!!
Could you believe there are only 5 days left to Christmas???
Wow...I can't...
Anyway...all around the house is ready for...Santa...
The cookies was baked (see them in my previous post) and all the ornaments are up...
In the picture above you can see how we decorate our stairs...
It's a simple decor but really nice especially in the evening when the little lights are on.
I'll try to take a pic of them too...

This year I made all my Christmas Tree decorations so I didn't have time to make other ornaments and so I displayed around the house all my "old" ones...
This is a Christmas table runner I made 2 years ago, I love it with the Reindeers and the Christmas Embroidery in the center...

My table is soooo big and so it's a big table runner...LOL!!!

Above you can see my Santa's Wall Hanging, the pattern is from a Art to Heart book.
I love it because it make me smile everytime I look at it...

This surely is my "oldest" one, I made it about 15 years ago...
It's hand cross stitched and I rember it was so hard cross stitch with metallic threads...they break soooo often and sooo easily...LOL!!!
When I made it, I wans't able to sew at all so I did the hand embroidery and my Mom sewed the panel with the back and the binding...

I was so proud of it, my first big project...
It says "Buon Natale" (Merry Christmas in italian language) and every letter has a cute Xmas symbol...a Xmas tree, a Candy Cane, a Xmas Wreath, an Angel, a comet, a camel...I remember that it took me lots of time to made it but I've had lots of fun!!!!

My Christmas Wreat for welcome friends and family during holiday season and my Reindeers panel...
Both bright and happy...LOL!!!

My cute little Gingerbread Man...made of felt 2 years ago...
It's up in the house all year long...
I love to have something Christmas-sy...always up! :O)

Christmas Birds House, made of a Debbie Mumm pattern several years ago...
But...I still love it...

Love all the details on it...

And finally...something not handmade but...equally nice...
The Christmas ball was a gift of my Mom, it has also a carillon that plays a Christmas music.
And the little red glass, is a candle holder, is painted by hand and was a gift from my Sister, she bought it in the north...if I remember well in Vienna more times ago...

Well, these are my Christmas treasuries, hope you liked the tour through my house...
Happy Holidays!!!!
