It's the annual Christmas Tree Festival at
St Laurence's Church and this year my tree is called Family Tree. My regular readers will know I have made 22 ornaments this year - all family names. My mum made some photo ornaments on fabric and all together the tree looks like this.

The church looked amazing -
Julie and her hubby came with us yesterday to see. My friend Maureen has been knitting again - she did two trees; Royal Tree (complete with the Auriana Bell Barge, and While Shepherd's Watched. She is a very talented lady.

The church looked and smelt so Christmasy - I added two stars to the Remembrance Tree - Nick's Dad as we do every year and this year my dad as well.

On the stitching from I am busy doing Christmas gifts which I cannot for obvious reasons share. However I can share the ornaments from the
Needlecraft Haven Ornament Exchange hosted by
