Getting Prepared Weekly Link Round-Up



Anyone who's a friend and can follow along on my personal Facebook page already knows what the "getting prepared" part of my post title means. This week Denis and I brought all our Christmas decorations out of storage, and they're in piles in two rooms of the house. I could've gotten this round-up done last night, but instead I was formulating more holiday plans. If I weren't married and still living alone, I'd consider leaving all my decorations up throughout the year because I love the way the house looks and feels when it's all gussied up for the holidays. Denis already knows I can be a bit eccentric, but I'd rather not have such visible proof past Twelfth Night!

Some of the decorations for my "knitting tree"
Plans are afoot for two new themes for my Christmas trees. I asked a dear friend to knit twelve tiny sweaters for my "knitting tree," and they're so wonderful that I'm really looking forward to getting that one decorated-- although I'm wondering how easy it's going to be to wind a ball of yarn around the tallest branch of the tree as a topper!

Of course I'll be sharing photos once everything is done, but in the mean time, I'd better go round up those links!

  3. I love those little sweaters, too. They have beautiful colors and patterns, and I would be tempted, too to display them on a holiday tree.
    I must go back and read the links, but I had to stop by to commend the sweaters, so creative.
    What a lot of work you do for the holidays. I look forward to the photos.

    1. One of the nice things about those little sweaters is that my friend used leftovers from skeins of yarn she'd used to knit socks. I should've sent her my leftovers from various needlepoint projects!
