It’s so hard to believe that Christmas is in just nine days! I feel like this year has flown by. So much has happened in the past twelve months and I can’t believe it is almost a new year.
Gus was so excited about our Christmas tree this year, so he put it up before Thanksgiving! I refused to decorate it until after, though. Our tree is pretty boring because I haven’t gone shopping for proper ornaments in the past two years. We use a fake tree that we got for $15 last year. It’s easier to just toss it back in the box, especially now that we have Junebug and she knocks it down a TON.
I normally just put my usual decorations on the tree, you know, the Starbucks cup ornaments, snowflakes, lights…but this year everyone was blogging about finger knitted garland and I couldn’t resist. I think our tree was cute before I made the garland, but now I think it is way cuter. I wound up making around 40 feet of garland from some Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool and I absolutely LOVE IT. It was super easy, too. A lot of the ones I have seen were made using four fingers, but I just made mine with my pointer finger. I like it a lot, especially because the yarn was so chunky already. I’m already planning on making some more to hang around the house for other holidays and next Christmas.
I even have the cute plush owl Stina sent with my package on the tree!
Oh, it is getting much too late. I have to be up early to do laundry! Have a great night, lovies. xoxoxo
aw, how sweet. he looks really happy there up in the tree. :)
