Christmas Windows 2020

For the most part we decorate the same way every Christmas but each year I make new decorations for the windows. In Chicago I’ve been making one large decoration for each north facing window and this year I made Swedish snoblomma – snow flowers.

In the kitchen I’ve hung the garland that used to hang in our kitchen window in Northampton above our kitchen sink above our kitchen sink here as well even though we have no window here in Chicago. This year I made Christmas Tree Farm signs and hung them with purchased red trucks and a red car carrying Christmas trees. I saw the signs on a blog post I could never find again but I remembered pretty well what to do. I found the small unpainted sign boxes and stained them and then downloaded Christmas Tree Farm signs from the internet and sized them to fit. I glued them in and covered them with mod podge.
