This is the 1st of many Blogs on

 How to have a Very Yarny Christmas 2015.

This is the beginning of a new Series.

 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.
