Ok..so like I'm totally getting nutso excited about putting up my Christmas tree this year!!! Last year, after Christmas, I purchased a Martha Stewart white Christmas tree!!! Is it wrong that I wanted to put it up right away and leave it up all year???? I mean it's white and totally matches everything I own!!! I can hardly wait to show you.
In the meantime though, I have been working like crazy getting ready for the show after Thanksgiving. I've designed my booth layout and have been fine tuning the details. Don't ya just love my business card holder? Isn't he a smashingly smart looking fella?! He was a dark brown and you know what
I um, David did...white spray paint.
This is the first time I have done a show of this size. I'm a tad bit nervous and I don't want to show up looking like a country bumkin. Although..... I will be wearing my hat....
Maybe they'll think I'm just missing a few marbles instead. Yeah...that'll work. hee,hee,hee.
If ya'll have been following me for a while, then you know "White is my Signature color." Everything in my booth will be white. There will be little hints of grey here and there, but for the most part it will be white because, hey, that's who I am and I believe white goes with everything and everyone can decorate with white even if it's only little bits here and there. Calm, Clean, Serene.
These are the quilted tree pillows I was telling ya about.
They are foundation pieced and then quilted with a fancy stitch. When you love white and decorate with all white, it's all about adding texture. The different tone on tone patterns of white as well as the stitching give the texture. I drew the pattern myself as I wanted a cute little accent pillow. These look great on a bed, a chair, or even sitting on a shelf to bring a little holiday cheer. The jingle bells add just a touch of fun. I made six of them and enjoyed every single minute.
Well, gotta get back to work. I'll show you my wishing stars very soon!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas! Sing it with me!

Oh, Girlfriend! You know I'm loving everything you've been working on.
A family joke around here is my version of Let It Snow. (I do my own harmonies..."how I hate going out in the storm *storm *storm...) hee hee I'll sing it for you some time! I promise you'll laugh.
Back to it then. I'll be finishing my quilt top today and posting about it for tomorrow.

It's snowing in the Mountains of Washington State!
Merry snowy white Christmas to you, Shell. That's my first Christmas greeting of the year and I'm glad it's going to you.
Hope you have a fabulous time at the show (You do make a very cute little bunny in your hat)
Oh Shell those pillows are gorgeous! I wish I could be there to see your stall in person as it's going to be stunning! Great paint job on the bunny too, I can't imagine him being brown!
The season is dragging me in kicking and screaming - I want summer back! But I do love your trees, and I do love a white Christmas - as long as it goes back to summer the following week, lol!
Cute white trees...your stall is going to look way classy...country bumpkin I don't think so!
As we are fast hurtling towards Summer...and Spring has finally found it's way here...it took a while for it to beat Winter off with a stick...there isn't and won't be any snow but your white trees certainly would make it feel cooler...
Hi,
Beautifull!!!
Will follow your blog!

I love your white Christmas trees. And, your business card holder is very smart looking. Beautiful photos. Can't wait to see your "white" Christmas tree decor.
I hope your going to post pictures of your booth! Sure wish I could be there - have a great time.
Jingle tree pillows look great!! Bun cardholder does too--does David always use the same brand of spray paint? (Might want to buy stock in the company.)
K - those trees are perfect! I love the simplicity of them and they are perfect in your white fabrics. Stunning. They would be great mini sized as ornaments too! You look great in your hat and since you are a kook you might as well show that off right at the start - people will love you, and they'll love your booth!
I saw the title before I saw who posted it on my blog roll, and I knew it was you Shell! The bunny ornament you sent us laste year is one of my favorites!
How darling the tree pillows are, Shell! I love the white on white detailing and stitching. The now-white bunny business card holder is perfect for your show. I think you'll do great; everyone will love you and your beautiful wares.
Huggies!
Deb
good luck for your show Shell!
your card holder looks great!
and if you are selling tree decorations can you put your tree up there by any chance?
(or even the top 1/2m piece??) to put your decorations on top?
and I was thinking, if anyone is withering about buying a white item from you, maybe you could have a small batch of colour cards and fish out the colour they presently have their .... in .... to show them how well the white would fit in with their other colours?
hmmm, is that a silly idea? some times it is better to show people 'how' than to let them imagine things
Shell I love, love, love the tree pillows! I bet they sell quickly. And the white tree - well some people have a Valentine tree, an Easter tree, a patriotic tree and a Halloween tree. It would be totally cool! blessings, marlene
Shell...will you believe that that is the same bunny I have AND I use it as my business card holder in the entrance of my studio...ha ha...I laughed when I saw that...except mine is still the brown!
I have to say that those pillow trees are adorable!!! I am a "white, red, green person at Christmas!!!
I love the other colors people use, pink, teal, etc--but I just can't use them--oh--I do sometimes use some blue!!! This year will be mostly red and probably white!!!!
I am getting into this "white bug"--must be Sugie and Harrington's fault!!!!!
Hugs, Di
Very nice pillows - love them! I know you'll do well - all of your creations are beautiful.

Your jingle trees are just so pretty!
I'm leaning much more otwards white being a signature colour these days too after years of my house displaying dark wood everything. I'm loving the change.
