Festival of Needlepoint Tree

My Mom is a needlepointer, is that an official word?, well she LOVES to needlepoint.  She has made the boys beautiful birth framed pieces.  She has made pillows, HUGE stockings that hang in their home, hanging wall art and she has made Ornaments and MORE Ornaments...Stocking Ornaments.  They are priceless and a true work of LOVE.  I KNOW she puts hours and hours into them.  It's what she finds relaxing to do in the evenings.  

This year I decided it was time to showcase them so they wouldn't get lost on our main BIG tree.  So WE dedicated a new tree to her needlepoint and to honor her hard work.  It's in our dining room.  Drew counted I think there were more than 20 ornaments he hung.  I love it, I think it's a beautiful way to honor her and her hard work.  And they won't get "lost" ever on the tree.

Thank you Mom for your hours and hours of hard work and tender loving care put into each one of these...what treasure for all of us.  Now we just need a Needlepoint Star for the top... do they make those.  

We love you Mom!
