Decorating.....

Well my boy Joe has had his birthday, so it must be time to decorate for Christmas.

First things first though, my wee pagan fairy that DS Jiffy bought for me many years ago is to have a wing upgrade this year.

 They suit her perfectly.

 She flew to the top of the tree and sits very comfortably way up there.

 And here you have it, the whole tree.

I was very restrained when I decorated it this year and only used about half of my ornaments. LOL

All of the hand made pieces and a few very special purchased or gifted pieces.

Of course those of you who have been reading my blog for a few years will know that I have more than one tree. The blue one is in the corner of my dining room. The red and gold tree is in the sitting room. Again, I have used only about half of the ornaments, choosing the hand made and gifted pieces over the others.

But wait, there's more.

Last year I purchased a tiny tree for the corner of my sewing room and I've popped it in there again. Decorated with bells and nut crackers. It looks a little bare, maybe my efforts to be more restrained went too far on this one! LOL

 

Little tree has company this year.

And finally, my Anni Downs Christmas quilt has a hanging sleeve and a frame at last.

It used to have very long tab tops, so that it could hang at the end of the hall, but I think it looks much better like this.
