Christmas Backdrop at Our House (part 1)

Let the festivities begin. The backdrop to Christmas is finally complete at our home. Thought I'd simply share it in pictures. If you came to the Christmas open house, you will see the projects posted through out November. Please check out my business website to see how you and your guests can have fun together creating home decor knick knacks at www.picadillyandcompany.com Enjoy and Merry Christmas. I will be taking a small break from the blog! Please note: I am limited in the number of pictures I can post, so there are more on following entries.

Ruffled Tree Skirt

I have never had a tree skirt I like. I've always wanted to make one and never took the time. I get very impatient with my crafts, and sewing one just seemed like it would take sooooo looonnnggg! That is until I found this idea from HGTV. And, it is a NO SEW project. Appealing even though I can sew. I pretty much followed the instructions however, I used scrap linen I had for the first ruffle and used muslin for the rest (much cheaper!). I had curtain lining fabric and I used it for the backing! So pleased with the results! Here's the HGTV link: http://www.hgtv.com/handmade/how-to-make-a-no-sew-ruffled-christmas-tree-skirt/index.html
