Putting up the Christmas Tree on St. Katharine's Eve and Day!

I got out our tree yesterday,

it looks so small when putting the first of three pieces together! 

Tree progress, from left to right...

 Last night I put up the tree

and lights.

I have to try to fix a bottom strand of lights,

I have two tips to try from my Dad via IG :)

*

Today I hope to decorate the tree,

order presents,

and get this house ready for Christmas!

Today is Saint Katharine's Day!

She is a wonderful Saint and Holy Martyr!

*

I am trying, in the midst of this,

to pace myself, stay well hydrated and eat healthy foods.

*

We are still in between the lines of well/sick 

and are doing our best.

Happy Feast Day!

Blanket Strips Done & Our Christmas Tree

The blanket stripes are done!

This picture is a bit mute on the colour of it but I am 

almost done weaving in all ends!

Question: do I bind off completely before 

picking up stitches for the boarder? I think I do...

*

I have chosen one of the red yarns for the boarder

and hope to start on this by Sunday in the car ride to church :)

*

It's a busy time of year but I am reading snatches of 

L'Engle's Two-Part Invention.

A lovely re-read.

Our Christmas Tree!!

I got the presents wrapped yesterday!

What are you creating and reading?

Any Christmas Joys in decorating? :)

Yarn Along with us!
