We went to the Christmas tree farm to find the perfect tree. Well, I guess, I should say for the experience of finding the perfect tree. I like Frasier Firs and Frasier Firs do not grow in Alabama but lots of Pines do. So we bought a severely overpriced but absolutely beautiful Frasier Fir that had been shipped from North Carolina and kept fresh in it's own little pail of water. My brother and his fiance on the other hand love Pines for Christmas so Lillian got the full experience of riding the Mule drawn carriage through the Pine fields and then walking up and down the isles of trees with our pole to measure and find the perfect Pine. We always went to the tree farm growing up and I'm excited that Lillian will get to experience this year after year.
Afterwards, I stole a few shots on the porch swing.
And between all the baking and potlucks and parties and gift buying, wrapping and giving, I found a little time to sew.
The sweetest little set for a great customer:
The snazziest of collections for a college friend of mine:
And a little something for a sweet little boy.
Of course there was more ~ this being the giving season and all ~ but this post is long enough and there are tornadoes looming in the distance on this scary warm January day, so I'll put it to rest now and go check the weather.
Happy New Year to you all!

oh my gosh, those outfits are just too sweet and what a wonderful experience for your little girl to go riding on the mule carriage, just what I would love to do :)
You have a real knack for photography! Your photos are gorgeous (as is your little girl). Happy Crafting.
