~ Merry Christmas ~

Hello there blogging friends!

Long time no see! My apologies! It was a busy summer and fall and blogging seemed to have slipped away from me with all the fun things going on!

Thought I’d pop in with a little Primcats Christmas!

Christmas in the living room ~

Oh how I love this time of year!

I added the draped Cheesecloth and garland to the ceiling this year and I really think it set it off.

So warm and cozy in the living room.

Lights all aglow.

My Too Far Gone Primitives Snowman standing proud with his his reindeer friend.

Isn’t he cute?!

And I just love Mr. Reindeer!

Here is how I did the cheesecloth.

Just stapled it to the wall.

And then stapled the greens on top of that.

Tada!

Really frames it all!

I really love how this turned out this year.

I may or may not be back with more. Time will tell!

In the meantime enjoy the Christmas season!

Until next time…

The Door Corner for Spring

Hi Friends,

I have been staring at this corner for months. Empty.

After taking down the Christmas tree in February I just wasn’t feeling it at all. I brought my spring boxes upstairs but nothing was coming to me. I am not one to leave things “undone” but I just left them there. Piled up in front of my beautiful chippy doors.

Until… I found my inspiration at the Gathered Treasures show. I picked up a bunch of great treasures there is always. I just love the Gathered Treasures show!

The most important piece I found is the trunk! Old and rugged! A great base for the corner.

This great 5 gallon crock was a deal.

This primtastic Spring banner to grace the lid. Perfect!

The big picture. Rascal lounging on the ottoman.

I filled the trunk with some more fun treasures.

My new favorite pin keep. This kitty!

Isn’t he the cutest? Squee!

Tabby striped!

That face!!!!!!!!!!!! Love!

Loved this measuring tape I picked up!

Hung a goodwill chair on the door.

For my new skeep! Love this!

The birds and the bees.

A wreath with a birdie on the other.

And of course a primcat.

I hope you enjoyed this springs door corner.

Until next time…

Merry Christmas!

Hi Friends,

While my phone camera and I are still in a giant argument… I did manage to get a few half decent pics of the living room to share. Sorry some are so out of focus, but it’s the best I can do.

Merry Christmas in the living room.

Cozy and bright.

My favorite area to decorate!

This is all new for the season.

Chennifer posing!

Love my Charlie Brown tree!

and the ever helpful furry little elves!!!!!

Until next time…

~ Christmas in the Living Room ~

Hello Friends…

Time for some Christmas in the living room… our favorite room this year.

The tree corner.

I brought out all my goodwill firkins and placed them on my shelf with stars, pine and fake fruit.

My Meijer's Charlie Brown tree. Plays the song. I love it!

Reindeer from White Sheep Farms. Snowballs by me.

Goodwill Santa.

Goodwill picture.

Goodwill angel.

Christmas invitation from Pam at Primitive Blessings.

Good will wreath, Santa and wall box.

The Living Room Christmas tree…

This whole display was a major building process that took a while to get just right.

I made the Candy Cane’s and dehydrated the oranges. The garland is coffee stained cheese cloth. One large package that I cut length wise down the middle so I had two long pieces. The doors I have been collecting for a long time. I have 12 now and intend to build a wall in my basement like Kendra did.

Large Snowman and reindeer from Pam at Primitive Blessings.

Small snowman in the tree from Angie at Just a lil raggedy.

Tree topper from Stacey at Tattered n’ Torn Prims.

Candy Canes and oranges by me.

Adorable mouse by Becky at Primitives and Stichin’.

Burlap Stocking by Pam at Primitive Blessings. Love it! Added just what I needed to my door!

Walnuts and gourds by Stacey at Tattered n Torn Prims.

Goodwill gourd! The best kind!

Frosty intently watches over the tree to make sure no Primcats climb it. LOL! The Tattle Tale in the tree helps too. (by his arm)

My Reindeer on my goodwill sled.

Another goodwill gourd in Frosty’s hand.

Skates from Gathered treasures show.

Mittens by Cheryl Fredrick.

I really hope you all enjoy this tree as much as we do. It’s much more primitive than I’ve ever done.

The over all effect is just wonderful in the living room. It glows and makes me smile!!!! Mr. Primcat and I just love sitting here staring at our beautiful tree.

I have also decided that I have no intention of taking it down after Christmas. I will remove the candy canes and add some other natural element in their place and leave it up well into the new year. Probably until February. I intentionally didn’t Christmas it up for this purpose. I really wanted something that could weather the winter as decoration and not just Christmas.
