It’s the day after Thanksgiving.  While many people are out shopping, I prefer to avoid the stores on this day.  Over the years, our family tradition has been to decorate the house instead.  So, today, the boxes came out and the Christmas decorations went up.  To add to the festive atmosphere, a few inches of snow fell yesterday.  So, the evergreens on the front step are dusted with some fluffy white.

The stockings are hung, the garlands are strung and the tree is lit.  All I have left to do is put the ornaments on.

Just in time for the holiday decorating, I finished up a Christmas Bed Runner.  It is made with a pineapple block and scraps of red and green fabrics.
