HOLIDAY DECORATIONS

 I put some of the Little Houses I made last year and the new Little Trees on the server by the front door.

We are ready for the Holidays.

LITTLE TREES

 I got the Little Trees made.  They are from a pattern by Ann Wood Handmades.

MAKING LITTLE TREES

 I saw a free pattern from Ann Wood for Little Trees.  I cut the fabric and made the tree parts yesterday.  Today I'm making the trucks and bases.

Using Darrell's shop I used his disc sander to make the sticks for the trunks pointy at both ends.

And his drill press to make holes in the bases for the trunks.

I'm fortunate to have his expertise and shop at my disposal.  If left to my own methods it would have taken much longer and been more difficult to do this.  And I probably would have hurt myself trying to sharpen the ends with an exacto knife.
