I've actually made two posts in less than a week! YAY!
If you have followed my blog for a while, you might remember that I stitched a few New Year's ornaments right after New Year's 2015! I guess I didn't think about it until the New Year hit! Anyway, this is my first time to display a New Year's tree! I only have my four stitched ornaments, but I did buy some things to fill out the tree! After Christmas last year, I shopped at our local WalMart, on the 90% off shelf and found some glittery things to use: Stars, Snowflakes, Ornaments, etc!
I used the really skinny tree I have, since I didn't have tons to go on it!
At the top, I placed some gold party horns from WalMart!!
This is from Trail Creek Farm Millennium 3, stitched on Hardanger 22 ct, using gold and silver threads. I used snowflake fabric and buttons, along with silver metallic trim.
This is from Trail Creek Farm Millennium 2, also stitched in gold and silver. The fabric has gold dots and I used gold lace for the hanger.
This cute freebie used Crescent Colors Apple Fritter, with red metallic fabric, rick rack, and ribbon. I thought the little clock charm was so festive, and ready to strike at midnight! You can find the freebie here.
I love this cute reindeer with huge antlers! It's an old freebie that I can't locate online now. I used beads around it, along with metallic brown ribbon accented with a giant "gemstone"!!
What is this football player doing on my blog, you ask??? Well, this is Dak Prescott, the quarterback from Mississippi State~my husband and son both went to school there and are diehard fans! We have season tickets, and I suffer through the MS heat for those games! Anyway, they won the Belk Bowl so things are happy here!!! You would not believe how pouty they get when things don't go right!! Dak was also chosen MVP of the game, so we are all smiles tonight!
Thank you for visiting! In 2016 I am going to try and redeem myself from my lack of posting! Please check back and see how I'm doing!!
Happy New Year to all of my blogging friends! You are the best!

Frances - one of the nice things in 2015 was finding your blog! I enjoy watching as you change out your tree seasonally and as a former musician, and avid music lover, I enjoy reading about that part of your life.
Frances: I am still trying to get caught up with my blogging so sorry to get to you so late.
I hope your Christmas was a blessed one, I hope new years Eve was a fun and great evening for you.
I was in bed by 10:00 just could not stay awake.
Love this tree, the icicles are so pretty, totally love the Cross's are beautiful.
Blessings
Catherine
