This year, Miss Flowergaren and I decided we would try and MAKE a tree for Christmas. There was much discussion, and not much encouragement from the the other flowers in the garden . . . but it didn't stop us.
We chipped away at our plan, and have come up with a lovely tree. The other, not so encouraging flowers, had to eat some humble pie, as they had to agree, that we did a pretty good job!
It's beginning to look like Christmas around here.
Now reports are over, there has been the soft whirrr of the sewing machine, humming from my room. I have finished a little cot quilt for my old boss, who has a new little grandson.

Well, aren't you two clever Flowergardens! It really looks great. And I like that cot quilt, too. Perfection.
Yes I think I can smell it too :O) Summer holidays start in just over a week... woohoo!
And I love that tree, it's gorgeous!
Amazing home made Christmas tree! The quilt is lovely.
Very nice! At least you wont have to worry about it dropping pine needles :-)
I'm seriously impressed by your Christmas tree. How dare the other Flowers no be excited by such a lovely tree...vbg. Well done both of you. Gorgeous quilt too - just right for a new baby.
You girls are two clever cookies!
How fabulous to make your own tree. it has turned out really well. Such a creative idea.
Your tree looks fabulous! I haven't started to christmasiffy yet but it needs doing before too long. Love that quilt too :o) xx
Ohmygosh! That tree is fantastic! Whatever did you use for your center -- the spine of an old tree maybe? You two are just the cleverest!
Oh -- I was so excited about the tree that I forgot to say what a cute cot quilt!!!
I just love that tree! Fabulous!
It is always great when you pull off a great idea. The tree looks fantastic.
Well done. Influenced by those box thorn christmas trees from our past? I notice you did not promote the boys real trees. I am going to put my plastic one up today. Might take it outside and hose off any dust first.
I had to make one once for MADEC from rolly pollys carefully threaded on to a post cemented into a pot.
Well done girls I love your tree. I have to get some decs up before next week when the knitting club come for our Christmas meeeting.The new little quilt is lovely too. Busy girl !
Very nice, and what a great satisfaction having made something different and unique!
