I was sitting in my knitting chair (tell me you have a designated knitting spot!) thinking about how I should make a tiny tree skirt for my tiny tabletop tree. I sighed when I realized that December was pretty much already here and I’d have to settle with a quick felt skirt. Nothing against felt, I just don’t have any of the GOOD stuff around and would have to use craft store felt, which is just plastic-y and gross. <\/p>\n

I decided to forget about it and arrange one of my new shelves full of yarn. Upon combing through a few bags (tell me you sometimes store your yarn in plastic bags), I found a little stash of doilies. LIGHT!BULB!ON!<\/p>\n

I took the base off my tree and threaded the metal tube through a few of the doilies and voila!<\/i> A pretty lace tree skirt. No sewing, no gluing, no cutting, no nothing. It took me less than a minute<\/i> to put together. <\/p>\n

I like the messy mound of doily snow. I think it’s perfect for this tree full of little doily ornaments<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Now I need a bunch of tiny presents to put under it. I already ordered my husband’s gift off Etsy. It will be the first. I’m finally finishing up my toddler’s socks and I’ll wrap those up for the tree, too. I need the perfect little gift for my 6 year old, though. Hmmmm. He’s already getting a ton of random crap (I know, I know), so I need something meaningful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
