My Primitive Country Christmas in California

          Today I decided to take some pictures of my Christmas in Southern California. We don't have snow but we might get rain on Christmas Day! This little primitive rug I made years ago. It's a little wonky but I still bring it out at Christmas.When the wind is howling and the trees are swaying outside I feel like I am in my own little world.My little house is one of the original cabins in Crest that is 80 years old. It's been added on here and there but low ceilings are it's character.Lol!

I hope you enjoy a  primitive country tour of my home. If I get a chance I might take some more pictures this weekend.Have a Merry Christmas, Hugs Cheri        

                           It's simple but I like it.My Nana's hutch is something
                           I could not part with.

                                                                                Jack's Crows

Grandma Moses tin I love

I machine quilted this quilt

                                        Dollhouse made by hubby and Cheri Payne quilt I made
                                        This is a very old wooden plate from my mother in law.
                                        It was made in Sweden.
                                        The picture on the plate is a painting of the church the
                                         family attended in Sweden.

                                    I took the cows off a broken light strand and
                                    put them on a cow Christmas tree!

                                                             Another rug I hooked a while ago!

The black doll on the left is wooden.

 Crazy me I stuck a piece of

 a doily on her head for a hat.I then used

double sided tape to keep it in place.

Chicken coop on the left

                                                                    I made the doll

My girlfriend made the stockings for me

                                                          I knitted those slippers!

I just hung a quilt to close up a door.

There is a bookcase on the other side of the quilt.

It works great giving me more room.

Black doll tree and that is a bucket

that Jacks Dad used to store nails!

I use it to store wool for spinning

 Even though a lot of family has passed on I feel happy seeing

their belonging in my daily Life. It's a happy reminder of  Happy

Christmas's long ago!
