I finally got my Christmas Tree out and set up. I really wasn’t too excited about doing it and haven’t felt in a holiday mood, but then I decided maybe I wasn’t in a holiday mood because my Christmas Tree wasn’t up yet!
Here is the tree – the tree skirt was made for me by my grandmother:
I have several stitched ornaments on the tree that I thought I’d show pictures of… some were made by me and others were given as gifts or received in ornament exchanges:
There are a couple of other stitched ornaments on the tree, but I felt like this post was getting a little too photo intensive! As I was hanging my ornaments last night, I had the thought that I’d love to have even more stitched ornaments on my tree, and might try to stitch at least one a month in 2009, either to keep for myself or to exchange with others. 🙂
The tree has been up for two days now and the kitties have not destroyed or tampered with it in any way – AMAZING! It could be that I set up the vacuum cleaner (aka cat eater) next to the tree to discourage any sort of tree climbing or ornament batting. LOL. I should put some lights on the vacuum and a bow on top.
Thanks for looking at my tree and thank you always for the lovely comments that you all leave.

Holly, it’s beautiful! I love all of your stitched ornaments.
You have a beautiful Christmas tree, and all those stitched ornaments are just gorgeous!
Beautiful tree and even more beautiful ornaments! 🙂
I’ve always dreamed of a tree full of stitched ornaments! And, WOW, you’ve done so many!!! I’m impressed. They are all so lovely. 🙂
Your tree is beautiful Holly
I just love your tree, I think it is so beautiful. I will have to get back into my crafts and make you some of mine.
Your Christmas ornaments are so pretty and I’m inspired by your 2009 idea. But with school reopening soon (I’m an overworked secondary school teacher!!!), I doubt I’ll have the time to be committed to such a long project. Good luck & Happy stitching 🙂
Beautiful tree.
