I have finished my first Christmas present. I am really feeling the creative vibe this year and am going to make a lot of my Christmas gifts. This one is for my sister-in-law...I hope she doesn't read this blog! Her room is black, white, and red. I hope she LOVES it all. (None of it is quite as bright as the picture makes it out to be....I am a horrible photographer!) I am going to attach a black and white ribbon to the chalkboard, the cross needs a little distressing, and the candles are finished. FUN!
My next project I am working on is for the centerpiece for my kitchen table when it is NOT a holiday. I have been frustrated over this for a long time. I saw on For Love of My Home something similar to this and LOVED it. I love the idea of having your silverware accessible at all times. I am embroidering our monogram on a stack of linen napkins to keep in the tray with it as well. I will post more pics when finished. Thanks Blanca! You always have such great ideas.

I would LOVE to get all that stuff for Christmas! Those pieces are just my style. Did you make the cross too?
What a clever idea to put the utensils in the middle of the table that way. I love it. I can't wait to see how the monogrammed napkins turn out!

What great gifts for you SIL. That cross is just gorgeous!
And thank you for the sweet compliments. You ROCK!
Can't wait to see it finished. I have that Jamestown Tray and have been thinking along the same lines, just haven't done anything yet.
The red and black candles are AWESOME!! And happy b-day to your boy!! I can't wait to see what you come up with for your laundry! :)
Oh, and I have that tray too. It's in our bathroom now but I feel like I'm not using it to it's potential, you know? It's so pretty!
Those candles are amazing! You have real talent, you should set up an online shop, I reckon many people would buy them they are gorgeous!
