Oh Christmas Tree

Something about getting the tree up really solidifies the holidays for me.  This year we were able to get a tree taller than me for once.  Our first Christmas in the new house.  It still feels to big and fancy but its slowly starting to feel like home.  

On the knitting front, I started two wee hats for the daycare's twins.  Using Brown Sheep Lambs Pride worsted - feeling a little too thick for this project but its got to be done by Monday.  Hopefully I'll figure out how to link ravelry to this post at some point.

Oh its finally done. For the past few months I've been haunting the thrift stores collecting vintage ornaments to make a wreath like this one http://pixigenne.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/12/the-ornament-wreath-words-of-advice-and-caution.html

After many sticks of glue, burnt finger tips and one rather sliced thumb (should have taken a photo of that - lots of blood) its finally done. There are still some gaps that I admittedly started to fill in with non vintage baubles but stopped m

yself because it didn't seem right. I'll fill in the gaps with those that I collect over time. There were actually some ornaments that I just had to put on the tree they were so fabulous. A 50 cent box of 9 ornaments of the most fabulous shades of Christmas, made in Eastern Germany. I was rather nervous putting it up, wondering if I'd have a big fall like pixiegenne but its still hanging on the wall and looking lovely. I lurv it.
