Christmas preparations

Just in time for Christmas (by staying up nearly all night on the 23rd), I finished sewing the curtains for our front room and our Christmas stockings. It took forever to make all 24 panels (mostly because I'd rather spend time at the beach than sewing, but I'm also too cheap to pay $5/panel when I can do it for practically nothing). As promised, here are pictures of the orange that surrounds our front room now, and our Samoa stockings. Unfortunately our $6 Christmas tree takes after the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and like the leaning tower, with a little bit of help, it stayed standing!
