Weekend greetings! This week we’ve been pummeled with rainstorms here in Northern California, the flooded streets resulting in school cancelations for two days. The weather conditions have changed our schedule around but it’s been a welcome one, we’ve adapted with more holiday movies and hot chocolate, rough life. :) With the twinkle lights from the tree and the glow of the fireplace, I’m enjoying the extra moments of stillness.
I’m finally done with my holiday shopping which has also contributed to my laziness this week. This post marks the last of the ‘Best of the Blogosphere’ for the year (I’ll resume the posts in January) so it’s fitting that the final one is holiday related. Enjoy these favorite projects from bloggers around the web!
Craft seasonal and simple boxwood letters with Craftberry Bush.
Build a rustic tree box stand with The Golden Sycamore.
Craft a wooden candleholder with instructions at Sköna Hem.
Construct a peg shelf rack in a tree shape that can be adjusted for year round creativity with Lowe’s Creative Ideas.
Find the simple no sew instructions for this pom pom tree skirt at A Beautiful Mess.
Turn a lantern into a lamp for year round use with The Painted Hive.
Make your own cookie cutter candles with supplies and directions at Pop Sugar.
Make extra large wall stars for the season with wrapping paper at A Subtle Revelry.
Craft a paper luminary village with tea lights at Craft and Creativity.
Thank you as always Amanda for helping me scout out these projects, don’t miss her post this year on a “perfect Christmas”, well said Amanda.
Happy Ho Ho Ho weekend!

Lovely photos, I too live in N California and quite agree although inconvenient this much needed rain has meant snuggling by the tree and Christmas movies, what could be nicer! Thanks for your great ideas Caroline
REally?! You guys got out of school? How interesting. I know we need that rain in southern California. Totally loving that pom pom tree skirt. :] // ▲ itsCarmen.com ▲
Great projects Kate. The pompom tree skirt is so cute. Thanks so much for including my lantern lamp.
I love that lantern. And the tree shelf is so cute. I am pinning that one for next year.
Thank you so much for your lovely blog. It’s my ritual to check in every Saturday morning as I have my coffee.
All so festive, love the rustic yet minimalist wooden candleholder
I love the candles and the paper luminary village! Great round up!
Everything is so pretty. Oh my gosh. I have been looking everywhere for a pom pom tree skirt. I don’t think I have time to make it for this year but next year for sure. Thanks so much for showing this. Your home is always so beautiful. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for the feature, Kate! Have a great weekend!
