Happy (almost) New Year, and welcome to NTT, friends. I hope those of you who celebrate Christmas had a wonderful holiday, even if it did look a bit different this year. Our family definitely did. And now that it's over, I've spent the last couple of days reclaiming my house from the holiday madness.
I know, I know. Technically the Christmas season lasts until January 6th, but since I put out my decorations around Thanksgiving (or before), I'm always ready for everything to be put away before the new year. I'm just a rebel like that. ;) Since my house is crammed with so much Christmas decor, when it's all put away, everything feels a little bit naked. It always takes a couple of days to reacquaint myself with the extra space in the rooms where Christmas trees once stood and all the open counter space in my kitchen. It's pleasantly less cluttered in its regular state, but still takes some visual adjustment.
The last time we met for NTT was two weeks ago, and there were some amazing things linked up. This stunner is by Jayne at Twiggy and Opal-
Nice start to the new year with a less cluttered home, Kelly! Thank you for featuring my lion quilt! I'm glad I finally made it this year. Happy new year!!!
ReplyDeleteI actually loving taking down my tree and decorations maybe even more than putting them up! Thank you for sharing my quilt on the final 2020 NTT! Thanks for letting all of us share our creations through your blog and Happy New Year to you and your family!!
ReplyDeleteWe put our tree up later in December and take it down later in January. Actually we move the tree (sans decorations) out onto our deck where it stays for the duration of winter. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Kelly! Thanks for featuring my scrap quilt with all those lovely quilts. Wish you the very best in the new year.
ReplyDeleteWe used to leave our decorations up until Epiphany but recently we've removed all the indoor decorations before that. So far we've brought out our snowmen to replace the Santas. Early next week we'll take down the tree.
ReplyDeleteI'm running late on blog-reading lately, but it's great to see these featured quilts. That Twiggy&Opal is a talented maker, isn't she? Funnily, no decorations needed to be taken down at our house because they didn't go up in the first place. No family was here, so there was no need to decorate. But we ate very well, visited with family on Facetime, and enjoyed card playing... you know, the things you do when you're stuck at home during a pandemic. Happy 2021!
ReplyDeleteWow...that lion is amazing. Happy New Year.
