Christmas Decorating.

Saturday was the day to bite the bullet & start with the decorating. My daughter wanted a black Christmas tree. Don’t know why as we’ve a perfectly good green one. I told her i wasn’t paying $100 but in the January sales this year they were marked down really cheap. Was a lucky find really as the black trees usually sell out. So we’ve 2 trees up now. The black in the lounge & the green one on the verandah.Picture 011

This tree got all the handmade decorations that i received last year & that i made. I run out of spaces for my little village so on the floor it went. And yes i’ve pumpkin lights rather than Christmas lights. Why? Because i can. :)

Just hope no-one bumps this little collection off the coffee table. Hate to see the nativity get broken.

Christmas bags all in a row. Honestly i didn’t know where to put them all & decided under the windows was a good place to hang them.

Never seen a black Christmas tree either, although my boys (when they were teenagers) would have chosen a black one if they'd had a choice. Good for you getting your decorating done. I just can't make myself do anything Christmassy...don't know why! I suppose the spirit will hit soon enough.

Please don't tell my teenagers you can buy black Christmas trees Lol What they don't know wont hurt them right?

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
