This is the 1st of many Blogs on
How to have a Very Yarny Christmas 2015.
I will be posting Holiday blogs, designs and crafts
that have Yarn as the main theme.
As we do, we will be decorating this tree together.
My Christmas Tree looks a
little lonely and empty right now.
I am very excited about how we will decorate it
and do some fun Christmas Crafts together.
First on the decorating list is a Christmas Tree Skirt.
I used Red Heart Shimmer Yarns.
If you can not find this yarn,
you can use Red Heart Christmas yarn,
or I love this yarn Sparkle.
Any Worsted Weight (4) Yarn will work.
