christmasy goodness…
most of what I’m working on can’t be shown till after a certain upcoming holiday…but here’s what I’ve made to decorate my own house this year…a tree skirt (the Bean really liked this sparkly pinecone fabric, and I couldn’t think of what else to do with it… we needed a treeskirt anyway… no. we didn’t. but we didn’t HAVE a tree skirt, so while being unneccessary in reality, it was a fun project…)I cut all that gingham on the bias, and then ruffled it… thank GOODNESS for my ruffle foot, which made things relatively...
