Red Anjou

Crimson

Red Bartlett

If you have never heard of these fruit names,

I am talking about red juicy pears.

These are the fabrics I chose from my stash

to create the pears for my

Partridge In A Pear Tree

Christmas Tree.

I created a pattern and hand sewed

my pears during my lunch hours at work.

 

A finished one.

Well almost finished.

It did have a real stick for the stem.

Plus a green wool leaf.

I had fun making these!

Also had fun adding them to my tree!

Soon I will show you the entire tree.

In other news.

Our home will not be on 

the Christmas tour this year.

Apparently another house that was chosen

for the tour had to back out,

and since that house was close to ours,

the ladies of the Historical Society

chose 2 more houses North of town. 

We are South of town.

I won't lie,

I was very disappointed when Bob told me.

However, we will be hosting a few

parties here, so all that I have done

was not done for nothing.

Plus if any of my blog friends want to 

see our house,

send me an email, and I will give

a personal tour.

I am 85% done decorating,

and need to be finished by Dec 7th,

which is our first party.

I had chosen not to light anything

until I am finished....
 for almost 2 months now,

nothing has been lit.
However last night I made Bob  
put one of the timers on with garland and lights
on the one doorway through to the kitchen.
Now I am itching to turn all of the lights on.
I will wait a few more weeks though.

With the snow we got yesterday morning,
it seems like Winter is here already
even though the calender still says Autumn.

Taking a half day off work today.
Heading to my mom's after Bob and I do lunch.
Looking forward to this craft show...
since I have not done it for many years now.

Red Pear Blessings To All!
