The idea to make wooden house stocking holders was with me for a while now. Originally, I planned to make a paper village, but it would require a Cricut machine. Since I don’t have one yet, I turned to my favorite material to work with - wood. 

I think these DIY wooden house stocking holders turned out more than lovely and let me show you how so you could make it yourself too!

MATERIALS:

  • 4x4 - 4ft 
  • White acrylic paint (love this set)
  • Brush
  • Decorative hooks x4

STEP BY STEP HOW TO MAKE WOODEN HOUSE STOCKING HOLDER:

  1. Cut your wood to the desired height.  Using a miter saw, cut a “roof” at a 45-degree angle. Boom! 10 minutes and you are done.
  2. At this point, you can stop and have a bare looking wood (which is also very pretty). I couldn’t leave it bare since it had a greenish color in a couple of places. I also didn’t want to paint it over completely and lose the feeling of the grain. So I painted the houses with somewhat called “whitewash”, where you mix acrylic paint with water in a ratio of 2 to 1 and paint it away. Water thins the paint and it turns into this beautiful finish where you get a touch of white but still sees your wood grain.
  3. When the paint dries, add a hook with a nail from the package. And it’s ready! 
  4. As an alternative, you can add a plank underneath and attach your wooden house stocking holders to it. That was my original plan, but my miter saw broke and I had to stop the project as it is. I still love the way it looks and it’s more mobile in case I want to use it for something else in the future. Or add an extra one if I need to.

That’s it! Super simple and can be done in less than an hour. You can add DIY stockings to it. Find here how to make these snowy white felt Christmas stockings. If you are more into the rustic feel of Christmas, check out these no-sew Christmas stockings from a few years back.

Since we moved to this house last summer, I had a Since we moved to this house last summer, I had a vision for a piano in this corner of my drawing room. I've been passively checking FBMP for awhile now, since it's definitely wasn't a priority (haha we didn't even have a couch till few days ago). 

So when I saw this beauty 5 mins away from us, I said to myself it had to be mine! 

I finished 7 years of musical school (I was 15 at the time, and barely played ever since). But I really want to pick it up again and teach my kids how to play (well, who am I kidding? I don't have patience for teaching my kids, so I'll find someone who is more qualified than me). 

Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear my kids play? ☺️ I'd start with Chopin, he's always been my favorite☺️ I hope kids are ready for it😅🤣

Will it ever get easy? Or let's say easier? The pa Will it ever get easy? Or let's say easier? The pain, the betrayal, that feeling of being powerless? Some people are simply not good people. And I've done my share. I was in a survival mode for more years I can count. How about switching the narrative and fucking focus my energy on me? To thrive! For me and my kids! That's the only thing I want now. 
It's hard to do, but thriving is the only way to go!
