Christmas Prezzie: Tree Skirt for Elli

treeskirt.jpg

Watching the last of January creep up on us I knew I had to sneak in just one more Christmas gift before I lost my chance. At least my Christmas tree is down. Of course, my outside lights are still going on automatically every night because it's SO COLD I can't even bring myself to go out and unplug them.This is the tree skirt I made for seester Elli. It's a shameless spinoff of one she had her eye on at Mahar Drygoods. She was covering up the bottom of her tree with towels or somesuch and I knew that had to stop.Materials: red felt, colored ric-rac, gingham bias tape (I know you can purchase this ready-made some places, but I made it with my bias tape maker), cotton scraps.: : Under the tree at mom and dad's for Christmas : :So that'll be it for the Christmas posts this year. Coming up soon here on MBR, something I've alluded to in the past but never officially produced: KNITTING!!! Also, for those of you who have been begging for the return of the Itty Bitty Baby Dress, I can tell you with confidence that it will be back up very, very soon.
