It looks a little better...

Stacey @xstitcher (39002) • Petaluma, California 30 Nov

I went digging in the box of ornaments for smaller ornaments to put on the side of the tree that can be seen. Some of the branches on the fake tree wouldn't bend the way I wanted them to so that I could put an ornament in...

Stacey @xstitcher (39002) • Petaluma, California 28 Nov

At first I tried to put up my regular fake tree, but one of the legs of the stand was missing, and the tree wouldn't stand up. So, I drug out this smaller tree in a "pot". I have two of these; one is outside my apartment door....

We have a Victoria plum tree in the garden, and this year seems to have been a perfect year for plums. Funny, because often good years alternate with poor years, but last year was a good year as well. Last year we had lots of...
