Mia Bella Passions Red & White Christmas

Here's a peek at this years Christmas decor 

in the red sitting room.

I really do have a soft spot for the colour red.

I wear lots of red.

I adore red lipstick.

One cannot have too many pairs of red shoes

(or shoes in any colour!)

I love strawberries, cherries...

in fact any red berry will do!

And the couch in the sitting room is red too!

(How's that for a little impromptu poetry?)

Maybe I love red so much because... 

it reminds me of Christmas cheer and joy...

 So this year Mia Bella Passions 'red' sitting room is decorated:

red & white.  

The mantel displays a collection of snowmen

(now that is wishful thinking isn't it as my Christmas is a summer Christmas.)

'Air New Zealand' have made this funny Christmas video starring Ronan Keating;

- watch it and you will understand my longing for snow. 

The wreath is decorated with berries lights and antlers.

There is of course a sack or two.

And a rust covered HOHO...

(find out how to make faux rust here.)

I've reused music sheet angel wings from a previous Christmas - find out how to create here.

There are loads of white, and red ornaments.

Some shop bought, others crafted.

And yes that is a Bearington Bear atop of the tree.

There's a painted carafe and berries...

(find out why I had to paint my berries here).

My favourite handcrafted ornament this year is the white scottie dog.

(Tutorial here).

with the felt reindeer nudging in at second place.

I hope you have enjoyed a peek into my summer red & white Christmas.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
