This week was pretty much dominated by gatherings (meet the new coach, quilt guild holiday brunch, University President's holiday reception, lunch with my two best friends) and decorating the tree. No pictures for the gatherings but here is the tree, before and after ornaments:
Our first ever purpose-build artificial tree (we've made do the past decade with a tree meant for outside decor).
The only stitching I did was on my Crazy Quilt/Bead Journal block. I finally finished it last night. A little Christmas greenery (is it a branch of a tree with leaves or flowers? Maybe a blooming Christmas cactus? Or maybe a deconstructed holly branch? Who knows --- it evolved) and some snow (which we haven't gotten yet in this unseasonably warm December):
That completes both challenges for 2015, and all I need do now is assemble the quilt/wall hanging... Right --- ALL! Considering that I have two previous years' wall hangings in various stages of assembly, finishing is easier said than done! LOL
I hope you all have a happy holiday, whichever one you celebrate, and that all your days will be merry and bright!
