Oh Christmas tree !!!!!!!!!!

We went to get our tree at the market on saturday. But it was sooo cold (in the low thirties ) that we didn't stay very long ... We wanted to get a tree with some roots but there were few choices ( like 3 or 4 to choose). We did manage to find one that we liked and we left quickly. Chuy did not spank any old ladies with the tree like he did last year !!! Good job honey !!!

Steb was so excited to see the tree! He has been asking every day for more than a week now. Chuy planted the tree in a pot with some soil and then it was time to free the tree. Steb helped his dad and


tadaaaaa:


Ready to decorate by three excited kids !!!

Et voilà:


Light off please!


Chuy worked on his nativity like he does every year. I'm hoping to get a better picture tomorrow. He always do a great job (takes lots of room though !!! )


if you don't find a tree, don't hesitate to take one of your kids: some garlands and you are set for Christmas !!!


Let's talk about stitching now. You may wonder what I'm stitching next, right?

Well, first, I finished the left over stitching on my Pansy!!! I am now left with the beading that as the chicken that I am, I have left to the end ...


And now, my new piece:
I chose that one but as soon as I started it, I was not so sure anymore ... I felt exactly the same after I chose the squirrel ... But there is no turning back: I'll stick with that one now ... But it is a bery beautiful wreath so I hope I'll ne happy at the end !!!

Here is my first progress.
Are you done with your Christmas shopping yet? I still need to order a Cd for Chuy on Amazon: is it too late to order for Christmas??? Hope not ...

Lovely tree :0) We just bought ours yesterday, leaving out in the cold for 6 days before putting it up this weekend.

I am so pleased that Pansy will be completed. Love your current wip! You completed a lot this year!

Your tree is so beautiful I really love it.

Chuy's nativity looks amazing, what a lot of work he must go to putting together such a detailed nativity. I'm really impressed.

I haven't done ANY Christmas shopping (because we thought we'd be moving that week) so don't feel like you're the last one! LOL!

Love your human tree - he sure is sparkly.
Your new start looks great!

Nancy M said...

Your tree looks oh so lovely! And the nativity is unusual!! Don't be afraid of beading, it's the same as cross stitching, you just have to corral the buggers! Lovely new piece too!
