Deck{ing} the Halls.

We pulled it all out from the attic. Decor in a new place. In a new home. Oh, the thrill (and the exhaustion) that comes from giving everything it's new snug place.

Through a series of fortunate events, we were gifts two free trees this year. We had our first tree, a thrifty 6-footer that swallowed our teeny, tiny apartment. It now barely makes it's presence known in the Morning Room.

The first tree, given to us by my dear brother-in-law, has been hoisted up to the tip-top of the 20 foot ceiling in our entryway so that the adorning lights are visible from the great outdoors.

The second, left behind by sister's renter, turned out to be a pre-lit 8 footer. She's a beauty posing beside the baby grand. This year, she'll be adorned all in pure white. White knitted garland, white ornaments, but my favorite: white origami Pennsylvanian Moravian stars handcrafted by me.




More to come...

I suppose they're the same thing. :)
They're called Pennsylvanian on my tutorial.

Dude.

You need to post a tutorial on how to make those stars.

I NEED to KNOW!
