Tis the Season

There is no beaver update this time. Since I hauled the tools down to the creek, it has rained, snuzzed, and generally been too cold to even think about climbing into the creek to annoy rodents. However, since it is December already, I thought we should start with the holiday merry-making!

Vegas Angie sent this to me and insisted that I must put it up here. How well she knows me! In the interest of reuse/recycle, and because I love a good "redneck" picture, here is a pictorial on building the Redneck Christmas Tree!

Makes you feel all festive inside, doesn't it?? Wish I could make this out of Diet Coke cans, but the colors aren't right. Also, you'll need about 400 cans, so I'll have to invite Celtic Spirit to help me out with the cans, even though she'll deny that she still drinks Diet Coke!

And speaking of Vegas Angie, (well, we were earlier!) she received and opened with my permission, her Christmas gift from me. I made her a covered note pad using this fabric!

We know how Angie feels about firemen!! The fabric is called "Ready for Action!" Perfect!

I didn't realize when I ordered the fabric that these guys are HUGE... I mean the images are really tall, like 12 inches each, oh, never mind!! Anyway, I had to come up with a project that would show the entire image, but I forgot to take a picture before I sent it!

Glad you like it, Ang. Try not to drool on it!
