Christmas table
December 11, 2011
My table looked so pretty set up for a lunch that I wanted to share it with you.
This tablecloth kit seems no longer available, it's been over 20 years after all, but it's the cutest one I've ever seen. I did look around the web and thought this one was lovely. This one is adorable too but looks like a tremendous amount of work, in embroidery instead of cross stitch.
I'm busy with all sorts of knitting projects as usual. Today I am going to make some owl pillows for my granddaughter for Christmas and also I'm finishing up some St. Lucia dolls which I will post. I've also got two more posts going, one about some Christmas jewelry and another about a gingerbread house decorating party I had last week. Stay tuned! I really enjoy sharing my crafty endeavors with you. Thank you for visiting.

A Christmas fantasy with a little snowy village installed down the middle. |
Tablecloth was cross stitched by me 20 years ago from a Bucilla kit. |
Spode Christmas Tree plates were collected by mother for years. |
Painted wooden ornaments are from Wendt and Kuhn. |
Santa and his reindeer on each side of the cloth. |
Napkin rings are also Wendt and Kuhn. She is eating her porridge! So very cute, mwahh! |
Tablecloth goes in and out of the washer and dryer like a champ. |
Little cardboard houses are vintage with original prices on the bottom, from .50 to .75! |
Iced tea glasses are mother's Candlewick. |
xoxoxoxo I love this so much. "To All A Good Night" tablecloth kit from Bucilla. |
Each corner has a tree with teddy and gifts. |
The tablecloth kit included the DMC floss for the cross-stitch. |

ReplyDeleteYour table looks beautiful with your cross stitch table cloth and my Christmas Spode and Candlewick Goblets and I love all of your decorations from Germany at least I think they are. My hat is off to a lovely daughter who loves to decorate and entertain as well as knit. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteYour table looked amazing! I love your table cloth, i will check out the links you shared. I think i may have to try this as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous table! I am especially inspired by your table cloth. I started a cross stitch tree skirt years ago, but lost steam with the copious backstitching. Now I want to pull it out of storage and finish!
