I was out early this morning and it sure was cold out. So I'm standing there looking at the trees and something falls in front of my face. OMG it was snow. Now I know I live in Wisconsin and it's almost Thanksgiving but I'm never ready for snow. There were just a few flakes floating around but that didn't make me a happy camper at all.
What it did make me is anxious to start decorating for Christmas. Now I know it's early for that too but why not get an early start. So, out came the big CD player, I loaded it up with Christmas CD's and I've been listening ever since. Then out came my small tree that is in a pot. I fluffed and fluffed the branches and turned it on. So far nothing but white lights but it sure looks nice. Next up were the three pillar candles that I have on the entertainment center. Well, they looked plain. While I was looking for some pretty ribbon to wrap around their middles I came across some red beads instead. I like the look of that now I just need some greenery to go around them.
Now, I think I'm finally in the mood to do some Christmas quilting. Off I go.

I bought that same tree at Joann's (except mine has the antique white base) on clearance 2 years ago for $8. The best $8 I ever spent! I used it last year when it was just me for Christmas but this year my son and his family are coming so I have to drag up the big boy from the basement! I love that little tree (and have it up already in my dining room for my open house on Sunday).
Hope you have a productive weekend!
I will be getting out Christmas music today while the guys are all out hunting.
Enjoy your quilting time.
Have fun doing your Christmas sewing. I'm thinking it's time to get out my Christmas fabric and make a purse.
Cindy I have put a quick Tutorial of the hearts on my blog for you.
I would be great if you add more :)
