I'm afraid my Christmas decorating leaves a bit to be desired this year, although to be honest I don't ever go overboard and try to keep it simple.
Here's what we got done this year. My 2 girls trimmed the tree (one of my least favourite things to do I'm afraid). We are off to New Zealand (home :o)) in 4 days so there didn't seem much point doing too much, just enough to set the mood for our early Christmas on Saturday. The reason for having an early one is that we didn't fancy lugging a gift wrapped fish tank over to NZ and back again!
I have done a bit of furniture buying lately and can't wait to post about my finds but will probably wait until we get back mid January.

I love your tree and I really love what you've done with your lights. I think everything looks beautifully festive!
In case I don't get in touch before you leave, I hope you have a wonderful time in New Zealand and that you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!
Best wishes always, Natasha.
I love the beads on the chandy! What a festive touch.

An early Christmas seems wise. Your tree looks good too. Enjoy NZ and Merry Christmas! xx

Thanks for the comments!! Try cutting little slits into the edges around the corners to make it more malleable.
Kind of like this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2571/3779449689_42c7661197.jpg
Also, try pulling it super tight and stapling the puckers and pleats under the seat where it won't show. I can't wait to see the finished product! Do you recommend working with vinyl?

Hey Ange, Oh lucky lucky you to be going home for Chrissie, in the 28 years I have lived over here I have never been back for Chrissie. I know you are going to have a great time over there. Your tree looks great mine hopefully is being put up today, finding it hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year.
Have a great Christmas & may 2010 bring you every thing you wish for...
