This afternoon is our holiday party. All of our extended blue moon family comes with their favourite dish to share and a white elephant gift to play that wicked fun who gets what present when game. It is grand fun. We ( Becky, she’s our party deco girl) decorated the barn earlier in the season. Lights hanging everywhere she could get them. I especially like the ones on the back deck where the cookstoves are and these stocking ones by the break table. Today we decided to mix things up a bit with the addition of a Christmas tree. So… I went out obscenely early and cut one at our neighboring tree farm. We spent the morning decorating our tree in the only way I saw fit. It’s something I’ve been wanting to to do for years, so it’s kind of a Christmas wish come true. I do believe it’s also now the start of a tradition here. We all had so much fun. We used Pond Scum fun-fur and Quilla Silkmo for the garland, Happy go Lucky STR mini skeins, Jinglebell Rock Firestar top, Winter Solstice Luscious balls, chicken stitch markers left over from camp, smal skein of holiday angora and topped it all off with Saffron Surprise sock yarn starred with golden needles. Way too much fun! I love this tree. The Quilla silkmo looks like spider webs and the Pons Scum fur, moss. I think what tickles me most though are the Winter Solstice silk balls. I want several dozen of them for the tree in the house.
See? Isn’t it just loveliest tree? If you’re a knitter of course.
I’ll add in party pics later this afternoon. Both our our babies are going to be here. and here we are: As you can see a good time was had by all. Kind of hard not to great friends good food ( we kind of rock the potluck) massive amounts of silliness all wrapped up in love. Dylan loved his new blue footed boobie friend and Paytan got her very first chicken. Up until this point it has been all about the monkey. We thought it was time.
Ok I’m out. Blue Moon barn is closed on Christmas Eve Friday and then all weekend and the same will be true for the New Years weekend. We’’l be here Monday through Thursday next week.
We hope you all have a warm, safe and loving holiday with your loved ones.
On a Merry side note, the Holiday Gifting Chicken suggests that maybe if you know a procrastinator ( voice of fowl experience speaking) who still needs to buy a present for you (or perhaps you want to shower a fellow knitter with yarn), we have plenty o’ Rockin’ Sock Club membership and Blue Moon Fiber Arts gift certificates available. Give the gift of good yarn, all year long. Bawk Bawk!
LOVE!!!!!

That is an excellent tree, for real. I am looking forward to Blue Moon Baby pictures!

I’ve got to do that on a mini tree some year. All my little Emergency skeins from the past sock clubs would be just perfect and some of the other fibery goodness I have around the house....Now is there a place to buy a tree on the way home???

Love the tree! I may have to do that next year. Using the mini-skeins as ornaments is brilliant!

??? Call me slow, but are some of these previous posts ADVERTISING? If so, tacky on them. If not, I am still not recovered from the eggnog. And yes I am a bit slow. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Merry Christmas Tina. I just finished knitting my last Christmas present! I WILL start sooner next year. Since I did not get all I wanted from Santa, I think I should buy myself membership in your sock club!
