Christmas decorating and sewing

Wow, I've been slowly chugging along thinking I'd have time for this and that when I've just realized there are 12 days left until Christmas. I have to pace myself so it's a matter of setting priorities and going with the simple things.

At least cards are off in the mail except for 2 and packages to go are done, ready for the mail tomorrow.

This morning, after wrapping the gifts for the mail. I finished putting the second poitsettia top together and sandwiched it. I quite like the more subtle green on this one.

It'll be there waiting for the quilting when I have the time. Maybe I'll get the pillows made. I'm not worried either way.

I've been decorating the little Charlie Brown Christmas tree this afternoon which I opted to put into our small dining area for a change. It's still seen when you come in the front door.

While out yesterday, I found another downed bird's nest that I'm taking as a sign. I've not found so many before. My mother in law told me that my husband's nana used to say that a nest in the Christmas tree was good luck. Let's hope it's true!

I hope you're finding small ways to be creative while also keeping things simple, taking time to enjoy the season.
