    It warms my heart when you make yourself giggle and when you are pleased with your artistic creations. We need to be easy on ourselves as our lives are not all roses. Having a caring community to help us cope with thorns is priceless. Thank you for being a kind soul. I am making handmade ornaments for a non traditional holiday tree. It is a lighted birch tree with white lights and the ornaments are bird themed.

      I put up a tiny 10" tree on a mirror pond in the center of my kitchen table. I have done the flip hexie Christmas 🎄. It is a quilted tree. I put decorations on both sides of tiny hexies. Now I want to add beads and bells. I plan to hang it in a window so it can be seen inside and out. This is the First Christmas I have felt like decorating since my son passed away 8 years ago. Maybe utubers have helped me!!!

    Hi Kayla! I believe doing that sampler ruana (roo on uh) is a perfect way to get your crojo back on track. We won't have a Christmas tree this year, my better half has been very ill since last January and as a result I had to sell our home because it was just too big for just me to keep up. I know it will be next year before I will buy a smaller house that I can keep up with. I do crochet ornaments for my granddaughters to put on their tree, one for each so when they are grown they will each have a set for their own tree. They love them and that is enough for me. 🤗💗

    HEY KAYLA, SOMEONE SUGGESTED WHEN I STARTED TO CROCHET, TO USE A JAR AND RECYCLE ALL MY YARN CLIPPINGS BY USING THEM AS STUFFING FOR SMALL STUFFED THINGS. IT WORKS AND IT KEEPS THEM OUT OF THE LAND FILLS. ESPECIALLY THE SYNTHETIC YARNS, IT WILL TAKE 10S of 1000s of years to break down. 🙏💞

The trees only have lights on them and the rest of the fireplace gets decorated and stockings hang from the mantel. It always looks so pretty. We also put a small tree on the buffet in the dining room. 💜🙏🏻

    It's so nice to have someone to cook for,even if they're making a lot of noise. Sometimes I don't feel like cooking just for me.
    You know how much your fans care about you when you received all those straps for you to crochet again. Dakota did a good job combining the colors of yarn to make this project. I have a small 4 foot artificial tree with lights. I also have a foot live tree that I have to replant soon. I really don't feel like decorating for Christmas cause the holidays don't feel the same since my service dog passed away.
    I have cousins that have holiday birthdays (December 24th & December 31st). They spend the morning celebrating their birthdays and the evenings are for the holidays.

She has 2 down stairs and I have 2 upstairs. We take turns with the style every other years. She is all about blue, silver and white and I like colored lights one in out doors red truck and birds red green colors. I have a table top in my room with just blowen glass ornaments. She put them all up in one day. This year I was not so into it, but I just had a knee replacement, but I'm glad she did it. Makes my heart happy.

    Your wrap is going to be so fun and such an accomplishment when you are done! I don't think I've put a tree up for about 15 years. Probably about the time my daughter moved out on her own. I do a small table top and a few decorations. Hubby does the outside- that's his favorite. I finally had him pull down all the ornaments (boxes and boxes of them) and I'm going through them with my daughter. She's keeping the really special ones - most are being packed up for Good Will. I've learned over the years to separate from overwhelming things- I suffer from depression. Even happy special times can be so overwhelming that I start to shut down and just can't do it. It's ok. I've just found my own way. When my daughter was little we were so busy - I also home schooled- and never gave myself a chance to stop no matter how I felt. Now I say NO. I'm sure you understand ❤🎄🎄🎄 didn't mean to carry on!!

    Your coat of many colours wrap is going to be gorgeous. As for napping, one day this week I went into a deep sleep. When I woke it was dark. (Days are short here in the midwinter. Mornings are dark and evenings are dark at 4.30.)
    I looked at the clock, it said 6.30. I honestly thought it was morning.
    Got my breakfast ready and then looked at my phone to find it was only evening. Oops, breakfast for dinner. I really laughed at myself. But as I have trouble sleeping those hours of rest were good for my painful joints.
    Not sure what they did for my brain?????🤔.
    😂😂😂😂
    What I love about you is your ability to chuckle at the small things that other people would stress about. I think you are wonderful. A bit like
    when you try to take each day as it comes and make the best of it.
    I haven't put up my tree yet, as for the last two days I have been decorating the ones we have in the entrances to our building. Need a rest before I do my own. No excuse really as it is only 4ft tall. The weekend sounds good.
    Take care dear lady. My Grandsons would say "Go with the flow Nan".
    Good advice. Took me about 60-something years to realise it.
    Love to you and all your loving family from Lynne and my family❤️❤️😊😊🙏🙏

    Kayla, I love you! Since John died last summer, we can not decide if we want a tree. We(my daughter and I) put up three, last year, a pink one, a white one, and a black one. Neighbors said it reminded them of Dollywood! How wonderful, because my late husband loved to take the family to Dollywood! Traditionally, we put up a 9’ tree in the main room, several 6-7 foot trees throughout the house. Then a sweet 6’, in our foyer. Initially, I said no trees, this year. but as I go about my days, and see other decorations, I am leaning towards, the small 6 foot, we had in the foyer. It is a dark green artificial pine, John has it pre lit, and it has its own box of ornaments. John donated our huge 9’ tree, a couple years before his death. It became too much for him to assemble, light, and help decorate. I totally appreciate your thoughts and feelings about waiting for after, your son’s Birthday to start decorating for Christmas.
    Ski lift! Dakota, has one over on you. He is challenging his Mama! Enjoy. Blessings, Sweet Friend. You are always in my prayers.

    I'm really excited, this year we are getting a real tree again! The last 2 years we put up a little fake tree, but I really prefer a real tree! So I'm extra excited to put up a real tree, even though the tree we got this year is a really small tree (about 3' tall -- in the past when we got a real tree, we totally rearranged the living room, and got a tall 7 or 8' tree!), and the type of tree we got isn't the kind I like best, but I'm just pleased to have a real tree again! [The price of these trees are getting absolutely ridiculous!!] I have a bunch of beautiful ornaments that my Dear Grandmother made, and they work great on the bigger real tree, but I'm not sure they are going to work on this small tree! I may just make them work!! We purchased the tree today. My Husband has put the tree in water, so we haven't put it up today, and I'm not positive when we will put it up, but I expect it will be very soon!!

Which they live in different states so we don't see any of them often. My husband knows I love the lights and all and he decorates the outside every year for me. I know if I ask him to put the tree up, he would but I haven't been up to doing much lately. I still might have him do it, we'll see. ❤😘😊

    We have a tree up because of my grandsons. I don't really care if we have one or not other than the boys still need one. The oldest put his Mammaw's tree and came home and put ours up lol Other than that and the stockings we don't have any other Christmas decorations. We have our hands full with the 4 year old this year because he's very interested in the tree. So far Dakota has picked out colors that are going nicely together. Much love and prayers for you and your family ❤️

    Seems like you really have great kids. I would love if one of mine thought of putting together a surprise project like your son did. I’ll bet that he will want that scrappy project left to him in your will. It’ll always be something special to him.
    I usually put up a tree even though I don’t always feel like it. With my back and other issues it isn’t easy but it does help to get into the mood for all the festivities. And my daughter and her husband are coming home for Christmas this year so it would be nice for them to have it up.
    Have a good day and happy crocheting.

    It make me smile to see you do what u love and very good at it. Me and my mom and brothers always use to put up the Christmas tree the weekend of Thanksgiving and to this day I still honor that because that's how mom did it. And luckily my cats don't mess with it.

    I have had naps where I wake up and can't figure out where I am or what planet I am on....oh wait, that is my daily struggle...😂. Not much of a Christmas here this year. I am petitioning the court for guardianship over my mom, who was always so independent and strong while growing up, but is completely unable to care for herself now. I can't even bring her home because needs 24 hour care and I'm not able to do it and don't have resources available for it. She's 85, blind, wheelchair bound and has dementia.....but still thinks nobody needs to take care of her 😔. Great thing Dakota did for his mom. His love for you is very evident.

    Hi Miss Kayla. Love hearing you talk about your life with your sons and husband. You asked if we are putting up Christmas trees. I usually put up a big fake tree, but this year, I just wasn’t feeling it. I told my husband that I wished we had a table top tree, so one evening he came home with one he purchased at Lowe’s. It’s not a pretty tree, but it holds our old, special ornaments that our girls made when they were in elementary school, and now we have some painted by our grandchildren. This tree will never win any prizes, but it holds some dear memories for us. That’s all I care about….😉. I’m enjoying your ruana journey!……..❤️Brenda

    My favorite stitch is the double crochet! I've made around 16.granny square blankets over the years! I'm going to put a little Christmas tree 🎄 on my end table! You're teas sound so delicious!

    Hey Kayla, your project is coming along nicely, so happy to see you crocheting again. We usually set our Christmas tree up on December 5th, that is St. Nick Eve. The only thing I don't like about setting up our tree is the husband grumbling about fluffing out the branches. It's an artificial tree. And then we can't put the ornaments to low or our 13 year old cat will be knocking them off. Those ski lift benches are so cute.

    I love what you are making Kayla 😊 I bought a new tree because I couldn't find my old one, then I found my old one so I let the kids decorate the old one with traditional colours, and I decorated the new one. The kids one looks way better hee hee although mine has the elf on a shelf that I crocheted when my teenager was little, on top instead of an angel. xxx

    I'm loving the way your ruana is coming along! Such very pretty colors. It's good to see you getting more & more comfortable crocheting, too.
    I'm still working on a blanket for one of my grandsons. He will probably get it for Christmas, but the other 2 are gonna have to wait for theirs! I know I couldn't get them both done by then, too! I don't know if I'm going to put up any tree this year. Maybe one of my little 2' ones that I can take to my room with me at night... I have 10 cats, so it would never survive out here overnight! We 'do' Christmas at my daughter's house, cuz it's big enough, so I really don't decorate here anymore. And it's fine with me. I don't care much about it since I lost my hubby a few years ago. It was his big thing, to decorate the whole house and outside!

    Hi Kayla. I always take forever to put up my tree and decorate. I hopefully will at least get it out of the box and put lights on it this week. I love decorating but I get the holiday blues and Waller around. Silly me. Hopefully you will get your little decor set up behind you. It may bring a some holiday cheer to Big Daddy. Love your Dec project. Oh have you thought about maybe crocheting some sides on the wrap your wearing? My Grandma used to take sweatshirts and cut the up the front middle and crochet a border to make sweaters. They were cute.

    I have a 3ft tree but i didn’t put it up last year an don’t plan on putting it up this year. When my kids were younger I use to buy a live tree. I always wanted one when I was younger but my Parents always said no we have a tree. So when my kids were little, we always had a live tree. I love the smell of them.

    Kayla, I'm with you, if I didn't have my granddaughter living with me I wouldn't put up the tree. We have artificial Christmas 🎄 as I'm allergic to the real ones. Ours is 6 ft and has been up since Thanksgiving. Next year I want a smaller tree maybe 4ft. I had a nap today and they woke me up at 5 pm wanting dinner. Wasn't feeling well, our 10 yr old fixed pretzel with cheese sauce

    Well, the last few years we have put up a little 4-1/2 foot white tree with pastel lights that we put on a round table in our living room. The problem is that if you put ornaments on it, the tree looks very dark. So, we just had a tree topper and put a few pastel items under the tree. I really wanted to get a new tree this year and bring out our old ornaments, but I don't think it's going to happen. Our youngest grandchild is three, and he's always messing with the ornaments on their tree. I don't want to have to correct him over and over when he visits. So, maybe a new tree next year. I must have seen your tree from two years ago if you didn't put a tree up last year. I remember thinking how beautiful your tree was! So, your wrap is called a ruana. I must be out of the loop as I'm not familiar with that name, but it is looking so nice. It's going to be so fun with all the different colors and stitches. I'll see you tomorrow!

    Hi Kayla! We put up our Christmas Tree three days ago. It's an artificial tree that we've had for many years. We decorated the tree last year and left the ornaments on it. So, this year all we had to do was move it from the ADU into the parlor...LOL 🎄🎅❄️

    Lovely scrappy wrap! I love watching you crochet with your strap. I also like that you can use the hook as a finger. My Christmas tree is up already. My granddaughter put it up for me. It's 4 feet tall. A little artificial one, pre-lit, with crocheted ornaments all on it.
