Tree Skirt

Last October's circular knitting experiment came in handy as a Christmas tree skirt this year.

Wilderness calendar bits came in handy as gift tags and tree ornaments

In preparation for upcoming Activities volunteering at an Adult Day Service, I've been sifting through some high-quality calendars I found at SCRAP.

The beauty captured in these images moves me just as much as it did back in the '90's, when the calendars were published. How lovely that the people who had been saving them all these years thought to donate them to our neighborhood art-supply-thrift-shop!

Christmas is ...

Making and sharing music

Being together, eating together, opening gifts together

And not to forget:  making a big deal of wrapping the presents (which, happily, requires visiting neighborhood fabric stores)

This year's gifts will be wrapped in fabric squares which could go on to have a second lives as table napkins...

"To and from" tags made from calendar photos

Tags are about 2" wide
