This year I’ve been making some fabric wrapped balls as Christmas ornaments. My hand dyed scraps have been perfect for this.
I made one for my sister, to go in her home of soft blues, greens, and greys.
Her home is beautifully decorated for the holiday. Here’s just a sampling.
She and I both have these out-of-date ceramic nativity sets.
They’re certainly not what either of us would choose now, but we love them. Not because of their appearance so much, but because we’ve each had them for nearly 40 years. I smile as I arrange mine, enjoying the feel of slick ceramic beneath my hands. Remembering a simpler time. And thanking God for the gift of His son.
Isn’t it amazing how deeply such attachments bury themselves into our hearts? I know we all have special Christmas decorations and traditions. I’d love to hear about yours.
Merry Christmas,
Ellen Lindner
