Last Saturday I took out this Christmas tree skirt kit I purchased a few years ago. It is a Mary Engelbreit pattern, and after I purchased it I opened it up, started reading the instructions, and decided it was too complicated to even think about. Sometimes I will think about things, ponder them, and then attempt them later. Last Saturday I decided that I usually hate the instructions in these patterns so why not just do it the way I think would be best. Guess what? It is going together better than I thought it would. I was hoping to have it almost finished by this weekend, and I do have all the trees and bushes done, but I haven't started the gingerbread houses yet. I'm going to try to post progress often from now until Christmas and hopefully after 18 years, this year we will have a finished skirt under our tree. Every year I decorate the tree and my husband smiles and says, "so, do we have a finished skirt this year?" Every year I have to answer with a sheepish "no." So think good thoughts, hopefully this year will be the year!
I did finish five more pockets this week too. YEAH! There aren't many to go, but there aren't many days until we start opening them up. Hard to believe that soon it will be December. Tomorrow night is the FNSI, don't forget to sign up, I almost did!!! :)
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching!! -Kristen
