Yesterday was the day of the Christmas Pageant in Adelaide, and that means one thing in this house ... it's time to start Xmas decorating. I think my children may riot if the tree didn't go up on pageant day, and fortunately this weekend they were just a little preoccupied, so they didn't mind that I was a day late. But here it is ... long term readers have seen it all before :-)
There is still a little tweaking to do - some filler ribbons etc, but we're pretty much there. Just need to get busy with the rest of the decorating now. You know, break out the garlands, the nutcrackers etc ...
Amy had the fun quote of the day ... "The tree still needs to be pyramid shaped, it can't have any tumors". I'm super fussy about decorating the tree, and it seems my apprentice is learning well :-)
And because we're starting to get into the Christmas spirit, I've pulled out a few FQ's to make some spiderweb placemats to give away - I have a number of them to make this year, I hope I can manage them all.
A while back I won a whole pile of Jinny Beyer FQ's in our guild show, and I will use these for some of the spiderwebs. They're not Christmas fabrics, but the colours work don't they?
Hopefully I'll get all the strips cut and sewed tonight, and then I'll cut the wedges tomorrow. Better run, chatter soon!

goodness you decorate for the holidays early! I'm lucky to get set up around December 5th -- I'm sure your house will look lovely
Yes, it's time to start thinking about decorating. Your tree is lovely!
Those colours and fabrics work completely.
Having seen your tree in the flesh I must say your pictures only do it partial justice. Its a true work of art! Can you come and do my tree?
I just carved the pumpkin....haha
Your tree is beautiful!
wow such a pretty tree and you fussy no way LOL..I love the accuracy of placement in you...the fabrics will look fab for spiderweb placemats, cheers Vickie
Very pretty tree! We're a few weeks away from starting Christmas decor--gotta get past Thanksgiving first. Love Jinny Beyer prints, I have that top green one in deep gold and am hoarding it!
