To put the Bells on:
You can sew the bells around the entire hat including the back if you want. I left about a 2" gap between each bell.

Or you can do what I did, I made a long trim piece and fastened the bells to that. This is how I made it: with Red yarn & G hook/.75 hook
Ch3, wk 1dc in the 3rd st from the hook, I took my bell and placed a .75mm hook inside the loop that's on the top of the bell.
Photo 1

 

Photo 2
I took my G hook off my yarn and placed my yarn over the .75 hook and pulled the red yarn through the loop that's on the bell.

Photo 3
Then I put my G hook back into place and ch3, wk 1dc in the 3rd st from hook, repeat with another ch3 and work 1dc in the 3rd st from  the hook, put another bell in place and repeat this until it goes all the way around the hat. Sew it into place.

So it's ch3, 1dc, ch3, 1dc and put bell & repeat.
Make the braids and tie a piece of ribbon around the end of each one.

Holiday Decorating Ideas Kitchen around the House!

"Holiday Decorating Ideas for the Kitchen & around the House"
by Connie Hughes Designs©

I just finished decorating around the house today...
I didn't know what to do in my kitchen...
I just knew I wanted lights, presents with pretty ribbons...

I just wanted cute Christmas stuff!

So this little Santa worked perfect and he

has a lot of sparkle!

I've had this Santa Platter for years and I never

had room for it on my counter tops to display it...

but he's found a new home this year!

I found this little Rocking Horse at my Fred Meyers Store this year,

and he too just looks right at home up there!

I needed boxes so I looked high and low...I found some in my

pantry...I used cereal boxes, those zip lock baggies boxes, I used

 boxes that held some of my Christmas decorations...I just

marked those boxes so I could find them easily

when it's time to pack them up!

I just love my chef Nutcracker!

Speaking of Nutcrackers here's my displays

and more Nutcrackers

If you can find it in your heart or if you need a reason

let me remind you Christmas is Nutcracker season!

Here's the link to my Crochet Christmas Nutcracker Pattern.

 http://spotconnie.blogspot.com/2014/11/christmas-mouse-nutcracker-doll-pattern.html

 

I just started collecting Byers Choice Dolls a few years ago...when I was in

Oregon this summer, we found this Christmas Shop in Lincoln City
and they had Byers Choice Dolls...so I had to stop and look...
My sweet husband bought me the door and another

Salvation Army doll...I was in heaven!

He surprised me with these Mother & Daughter
Gingerbread Dolls last year...and they are adorable!

I got her when we went to Leavenworth a few

years ago...I just love her!
They are all Made in America!

When I was setting these up today...I was pondering who

would I give these too and who in the world would want them?

Oh well I have many years to ponder!

Don't forget the stairs!



I have two of these hanging on my wall in my living room

and they just looked a little plain...so I tied a little red

ribbon around the candles...and now I love them!

Decorating for the Holidays is so much fun...

and every decoration has some memory attached to it...

it's sad we only get them out once a year...

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas

and a great and Happy New Year!
