The house smells sweetly of fir and the tree we found in the woods now has lights on it! The kids are desperate to decorate, but after 2 long days there has not yet been enough time to enjoy doing this before bedtime.  Instead, while they slept, I made some mountain pillows. A perfect gift in honour of a couple who got married on a mountain this fall.  Don’t you think the smallest one actually looks like a holly tree? I loved how these turned out and want to try more complicated designs after looking at this tutorial!  Here’s a peek at mine…

Tonight I think I might settle in at the dining table (where the sewing machine seems to have moved this week) and make some more mountains while I enjoy the flickering fire and the beautiful lit up tree. It really is “starting to feel a lot like Christmas” around here!
