Decorating the Christmas Tree

Today was the first day of buck season here in Pennsylvania, so the men were out in the woods.  Laura and Adelyn came here and Adelyn helped Gramma Rita decorate the Christmas tree.  I couldn’t ask for a better, or cuter, helper!  :D 

What does all this have to do with crochet, you ask?  Well, the decorations are all crocheted by me, and the balls have bits of yarn in them from the projects I have worked on this year.  I got the idea from here. I hope to get some close-up shots of the balls soon, and share those with you as well.

    What a gorgeous grandaughter you have been blessed with. I can imagine she was so very helpful. You just created a wonderful memory for her. Oh your tree looks pretty too. Blessings
