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,

  2. Renee, 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.

    I hope you and your family have a truly merry Christmas.

  11. 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.
    Have a happy day
