Are You Ready for Christmas?

P1000207

Our home is ready for Christmas! What about yours?

This year my son decorated our Christmas tree! However it was missing a tree skirt. So I bought some red suede  fabric and contrasting cotton for the trim and made one.  With only the trim  it looked too  plain, so I appliqued some candy cane  in the skirt using the left over fabric from the trim . Now my son is very happy to see the candy cane tree skirt and wants to put real candy cane in the tree! That is another story :-).

Handmade Christmas Tree Skirt

Last time when my mom visited she was making cross stitch borders to be put in towels. She is involved in a charitable organization and makes them for their fundraiser. I got the idea and  made few to lift the holiday mood. Yes Mom you are always my inspiration!
