Last year I shared the full-size image of these Christmas bell ornaments with you (find it here). I think these would look so cute turned into ornaments with Shrinky Dinks,(Amazon link) or strung as a garland, so I grouped them together as smaller images that can be printed on one page (printable below). I had planned to make a bunch of them as ornaments, but I only got ONE done, before I got sidetracked on another project, and never got back to {Read More}
Chalkboard Kitchen Canisters and Labels – Not a Creature Was Stirring, Not Even a Mouse
December 19, 2014 by 16 Comments
Obviously, it isn’t the night before Christmas yet, because the creatures have been stirring in my pantry, and I’m not happy about it. There’s nothing more frustrating than discovering a mouse has helped himself to foods in your pantry, and they are persistent little critters. We live in an old house that has lots of little nooks and crannies they find their way in through. They don’t come indoors during the summer, but in the winter, they make themselves right at {Read More}
Pine Cones – Nature’s Christmas Decoration
December 18, 2014 by 9 Comments
Those of you who are regulars here, know that I’m a magnet for “junk” and have a workshop and barn overflowing with every type of junk imaginable, that I think I might ever be able to do something with, but there’s something else I’m a magnet for, and that’s pine cones. Pine cones make their way home with me on a regular basis. I can’t walk by pretty pine cones laying on the ground, without picking up at least one or {Read More}

DIY Chalkboard Christmas Canvas with Free Printable
December 14, 2014 by 5 Comments
During the drive to Arkansas to pick up my son last week, while my older son was driving, I was busy working on another Christmas project. I hope you aren’t sick of seeing them, because I just can’t seem to stop working on them. I wanted to make another canvas project, like the family photo I did on canvas a few months ago, but with a chalkboard Christmas image instead. To design the printable, I used my chalkboard background (found {Read More}

![Christmas Music Page Hymn The Bethlehem Babe][](https://knickoftime.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Christmas-Music-Hymn-The-Bethlehem-Babe-300x194.jpg)
Here’s a beautiful old Christmas music page for you. I think it would look lovely printed as a ledger size page, and used as a place mat on a Christmas table setting. Ledger size black and white pages only cost about 17 cents (at Staples), and full color ledger size prints cost around 67 cents, so it’s an inexpensive way to dress up your holiday table with vintage style. By the way, ledger size pages measure 11×17, and this image will {Read More}
Farmhouse Kitchen Wall Update
December 13, 2014 by 10 Comments
I thought I’d change gears this week, from Christmas projects, to the changes we made to the wall behind our stove in our farmhouse kitchen. I really hadn’t intended to overhaul the look of this wall, but one project leads to another…and often another, and that was definitely the case with my kitchen wall, as you’ll see. It all started when we got a new oven range hood from Westside Wholesale. Obviously, it’s a modern appliance, so once we got it installed, the {Read More}
Glittered Christmas Clay Pot – Ho, Ho, Ho!!
December 12, 2014 by 9 Comments
I think I should have planned on doing 25 days, instead of 12 Days of Christmas, because more Christmas ideas keep popping into my head. You can never have too much Christmas though, can you? I have a rustic kind of gardening display above my kitchen window (see more here), that has several stacks of clay pots on it. One day those pots caught my eye, and I still had the red paint and glitter out from making the Glittered Letter {Read More}
Christmas Magazine Cover – Man Rushing Home with Gifts and a Holly Wreath
December 12, 2014 by 1 Comment
Here is a wonderful image of a man rushing home in the winter, as the sun is setting in the evening. His arms are full of things for Christmas. In one arm, he has holly and a present, and in the other arm, he has a basket carrying more presents, along with a horn and violin. This image was the Christmas magazine cover of an early 192o’s magazine for musicians, called, The Etude. I think this would look lovely as {Read More}
