One down and two more parties to go this week! Last night we had a really fun party that has become a tradition in our ward (congregation). The ladies get together for a progressive dinner. We have been doing it for about 6 years. I live in a cul-de-sac and so for the last couple of years we have done it all in our cul-de-sac, because then we can just walk from home to home. It is so fun. Everyone started at my house for the appetizers, then we walked across the road for a wonderful meal and then back across the street, to my friend, Susan’s, for the best part of all…desserts! It was a really fun evening and we had about 50 people there!
So needless to say, I was cleaning my house all day and getting the final touches on my decorating, before the party started. One of the projects that I did was this cute ruffled tree skirt. It was so fun and I completed it in a couple of hours! It has NO SEWING, can you believe it! It is all hot glued! (I know me and the glue gun sometimes don’t get along, but I did not burn myself once this time!)
This little tree is in my bedroom and it goes perfectly with a bedspread that I made. 
I am so tickled with this tree skirt and I love all the ruffles! (Imagine that!) If you would like to try to make one of these go to Studio 5 for a great tutorial. I used a small piece of dowel to stick my ruffles down with and that is why I did not get any hot glue burns, in the video, she uses some kind of a glove, that would work too, but I like the dowel, because then my hands were more free.
I will show you a couple of more projects that I did tomorrow, but for now it is off to do some shopping and to get ready for the next two parties! (But at least now my house is clean!)
It’s perfect!!!
So beautifull. A pitty I cannot find the patterns anymore.
I woud like to but them.
Congratulation with your work.
