Hi everyone .. its that time of year again Jo from Serendiptious is having her online advent blog hop and today is my day , the theme is Christmas Tree traditions and whether you are a star, angel or fairy tree topper .... that bit is easy I have a fairy on my tree that is older than moi and had always been on my tree at home when I was a child ... I remember my mum giving her a new dress out of a scrap of lace when I was small ....
I am trying to stitch enough ornaments to have a stitched tree and along with those that have gifted to me I think I may make it for next year ... this year the tree hasn't gone up due to a couple of technical hitches ( me being ill, fire been ripped out and new hearth laid , sweep coming last Friday and now we are looking after my 11 week old granddaughter while her parents are having a new kitchen fitted and dining room plastered etc ... )
Our traditions normally, are to have the tree up and house decorated by the 6th of December as this is our wedding anniversary and then they are all taken down by 12th night. We normally buy one new ornament a year to hang on the tree so it is very eclectic in its look and colourway too ...
Below are a couple of Christmas stitching I have done .. jingle has been stuffed and finished since this was taken ...
I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy going through all the blogs that have participated in this years hop.
Merry Christmas to one and all and squeak to you all soon :) love mouse xxx

Your tree angel must be very special, how lovely you still have it. Super festive stitching, Merry Christmas 🎄
Lovely stitching , hope you are feeling so much better .
Have fun with your new family hugs June.
Thanks for taking part in the Advent Calendar this year. Even if you don't have a tree this time round! Hopefully you will have an extra large and beautiful one for next year. The stitched ornament is lovely.
So the the cross stitch pillow/ornament
Your ornaments are lovely. I hope that next year you show us a pic of your tree with its special angel and stitched ornaments. I've not decorating this year either, and I must admit that I miss my Christmas bling! I'm already planning next year's transformation. It's already Christmas Eve here in Australia. I guess the upside of not decorating is that there's not going to be a big after Christmas packup. I'm wishing you a very happy Christmas.
Both are sweet stitched ornaments. I hope next year will be better for you to enjoy decorating and have a tree.
Happy Christmas!
Oh, I enjoyed your post!! Your stitched poinsettia ornament is just gorgeous! Merry Christmas!! :)
I hope you are feeling much better now.
Love the poinsettia stitchery, it’s very beautiful!
Merry Christmas!

How pretty, and I love the fabric that you used with Jingle, both pieces. I'm sure your ornament tree will be stupendous! Happy New Year!
Decorations or not, Christmas is in the heart. I hope your daughter’s renovations as well as your’s are coming along. Love Jingle all the Way as well as the cute little pillow. Is that a Jeannette Douglas Design? Happy New Year to you and yours.
I hope seeing everyone else's tree in this blog hop was a small consolation for your lack of tree this year!
