We had Christmas with Sue's kids early this year. So we decorated right after Thanksgiving. Check out the VERY tall tree we axed from the forest!
I decided to try to make a garland out of real pine boughs. I took branches from all 4 Ponderosa pine trees on our land (we don't have very many, I discovered!) and cedar and junipers in the back yard. They had little berries on them so they were awesome. Check out the garland and table decoration I made - all thanks to Martha Stewart's website!
The kids came over and we had awesome steak sandwiches by John and soup; then we opened our gifts and Santa's stockings. At first I could not figure out what the tripod thingy was - can you guess?
The next day it was really snowing - we have about 6 inches. I was chairman of the quilt show and it was well attended despite the snow. I entered my Christmas quilt, finished it just in time! Here it is.
Next post may be from Arizona - we are looking forward to the warm weather!
What is that tripod thingy, I can't guess!. Beautiful greenery, I can't decide which I like better, the table arrangement or the garland. Isn't Martha Stewart awesome. Lovely quilt too. Ruth
ReplyDeleteI bet the tripod thingy is a camera stand.
ReplyDeleteIm I right? Do I win a prize?
The tree and your garlands look real nice. And I especially like the Robin on the quilt.
