Red and White Decor (Loving It-!)

Angel fabric Collage - By Mary Maki Rae - 2009 (c)

Every year about this time - it becomes so gray here in the Northwest. All the leaves have fallen - the Garden Flowers are gone until next year. It's when I really feel the longing for some COLOR-! So with Christmas right around the corner - why not start some decorations for the House-! And what better Color to warm up the atmosphere than some Red-!

While searching my closets for fabrics - I found this Angel Fabric Collage and decided to add some finishing touches and details.

First I stitched on her arms - opened wide - so welcoming - she could hold a string of fabric Hearts - or Snowflakes - or placed on the Fireplace Mantle She could embrace a collection of miniature Toys-! ( Or with Her arms closed - she could hold a bouquet of greens or Holly with bright Red Berries-!)

Suddenly - all seems WARMER - amazing how a little Red works like magic-!

I'm thinking I could really get off on this Red & White Theme for a while - Following are some Red & White Decor Inspirations - Mostly with that beautiful simplictic Scandinavian style of Red & White Gingham - some Toiles - and Stripes too-!
