'Santa buttons'

***

I did this with my children every Christmas when they were little, and this year

had so much fun sitting at the kitchen table with my grandson

stringing 'Santa buttons'

for the birds tree.

It's a little different each year, using what we have.  Some years it is popcorn strings and other times cranberry ...

 and just like our treats ...it won't take long before it is all gone.

Made lots of cable knit cowls this Christmas

lined with fleece

and a little snip of vintage lace doily & button closure

with some fingerless gloves

{I like to pull these over my regular thin gloves ... they are handy when out with the camera... }

and our "new" tradition ... mouse in the house {our little take on elf on the shelf).

My grandson LOVES mice ... so I made a little grey mouse ... hid him all through the house ...

and listened for squeals of delight when he was spotted ♥

Hope your Christmas was filled with wonderful moments & memories. xo
