I'm Back!!!! 😀😁
Good afternoon, ya'll. Two posts in one day - oh here I go again- Miss Jabber Jaws!!!
I won't chat your ears off though . I promise - Well maybe not.😜 😃
I have been gardening today. Nah not outside but inside !
I decorated my raggedy ole' white Christmas tree in the garden theme.
I keep this tree out year round and decorate it for the season or holidays. A few week's ago I shared my Easter Tree which was decorated in cross stitch and lots of bunnies and such. Well I took those things down today and added birdhouses , flowers , seed packets and stitching - Oh yes you will find the kitchen sink in that tree too!!!😂 It is crammed full isn't it?
This is an old 6 ft tree that I place inside an old bushel basket that has to be from the 1970's because it was my Nanny's and I remember her painting it. She used to have it in her sewing room and stored scrap fabrics in it. Now it holds old small kitchen appliances with a little raggedy tree stuffed ontop of that . Lol.
No garden tree would be complete without a sly kitty welcoming every birdie.
For my topper I used a birdhouse sign that I have had for 25+ years. I also added lots of flower picks.
I just jammed those large birdhouses in the tree and wrapped the limbs around them to secure them in place.
Lots of stitching including the Prairie Schooler Bunnies from book 178 and Heart in Hands Needleart's Grow Whiligig , dear Stacy gifted me that chart. .
I will enjoy this Spring tree for a few weeks until I put up my patriotic tree which is always my favorite.
On the little doll high chair, I draped a small yellow and red quilt and ole' Mr. Cock a Doodle Doo on it. I pulled out a metal watering can added one of my Dollar Tree bunnies and an antique bug sprayer to it.
The blue truck which was on my buffet is now filled with small quilts rolled up.
Alrighty , ya'll. I didn't ramble on too much. I was just so excited and wanted to show you my country clutter of a tree. In a few weeks, I will share my Patriotic tree, but if you would like to see 2021's Patriotic tree, just click the colored text.
Thank you for dropping in for an afternoon visit.
As always,
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
