O Christmas Tree
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. Saturday I was able to finally get the main tree up. I have been so busy sewing that I haven't had time to even think of decorations. I still have more to do this week before Taylor gets home from college.
I have a new white tree this year. It was a great deal on Cyber Monday. I was so happy to find one that was unlit. I weaved 500 lights onto this tree. I love sitting in the room with the lights out. I am always thrilled to add the dancing ladies and gentlemen garland to the tree. It was made by my Mom years ago with a Martha Stewart pattern featured in her magazine. It always draws a lot of attention.
The kitchen tree is up in all its dessert finery. It goes rather nicely with my Great Granny Along quilt. It makes the kitchen so festive.
I had so much fun making the cupcake liner garland last year. If I could squeeze more ornaments on this tree, I certainly would. There are so many cute dessert ornaments in the stores. I think my little tree has all it can hold, well maybe a couple more…
Have a good start to your week!
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteRenee, this tree is just luscious! I remember that garland from MS and love it. I never made it as it doesn't go with my decorations. I think it works perfectly with yours.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family have a truly merry Christmas.
I love your trees :-) They look so festive and fun. Happy decorating ....

ReplyDeleteThat is picture perfect!! What a great garland!! I have a light blue tinsel tree that would be perfect for this, I have been looking for just the right garland!! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks lovely Renee. The white is very different.
ReplyDeleteThey are both lovely. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBoth trees are so sweet, but I love that one in the kitchen with the quilt and the cupcake-liner garland!
ReplyDeleteYour trees are both so beautiful Renee. The little cupcake liner garland is such a sweet touch to your dessert tree. I love it.

Love your trees! The white has invoked some happy memories for me as we had a pretty white tree during my growing up years in S.Africa. I loved it as it was always just that wee bit unique.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day
