I had to put a tree up today

Yup, working in all different directions on this primitive sampler piece of mine, I got too excited to put a tree up..........


.......even if it was with thread and needle
and
I also want to correct the threads used in this piece. They are not Crescent Colors Christmas Limited Edition but Gentle Art Sampler Threads, Limited ed.
So without havng the color on the labels, I'm guessing this is Blue Spruce and Williamsburg Red.
I really like the colonial colors for this piece. Now that one of the trees are "up", I'm going to work myself around this and fill in so it won't look like Wheel of Fortune!

Speaking of spinning wheels, Miss Abbie did exactly that today after her bath.

 She is so happy after a bath, it's fun just to sit and watch her run around and show such happiness ;)

Have a restful Sunday night,
Jennifer
