The Cranky Queen: Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

One of the Cranky Queen's favorite Holiday Songs is "Oh Christmas Tree"...So she decided that you must see some of her Christmas trees that she has created...TrEeS wItH a TwIsT from the traditional ones!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The one on your left is created from broken china & the other is made from an old bedspread, vintage buttons & trim mounted on a glass candlestick.

I made this one using an old quilt that had been discarded by its owner...shame on them! It was in pretty rough shape, but I salvaged enough to get 2 trees made. The base is an old lamp-base part.

My gal pal, Dutchess Melanie, made all of her junkin' buddies this tree last Christmas. She used the back of an old cutter quilt, tiny pearls, & a wooden candlestick as the trunk...she shopped every Thrift Store for an entire year to find enough wooden candlesticks~I'm glad that she did~

This is the tree that I made as Secret Santa for Susan at Desert Sky Quilts

The base is a mint julep cup that I distressed then decoupaged a vintage Santa from Graphics Fairy site. It was created from the same old quilt...


This is a pillow that I also made as Secret Santa using yo yo's that my Mother taught me how to make. Visit Suzanne at Colorado Lady for all that participated in the most fun Secret Santa Swap

If you have visited The Cranky Queen's blog in the past, you have probably read about her collection of "Little Logan's"...that is what she & her pals refer to as any little boy that resembles her son, Prince Logan.
