Maybe next year?...

I saw this Christmas tree skit pattern from Amy Butler Design and immediately feel head over heels in love. Not only is it adorable and fun, it's also customizable. Just find your favorite fabric and download this free pattern, courtesy of amybutlerdesign.com. (find other free holiday patterns there too!)
The only problem... I couldn't decide on a color scheme or fabric in time to get the construction started. So rather than have a skirtless tree for this year, I came up with a very inexpensive and quick alternative. Buffalo snow! It was only $5 for a large bag of the fluffy stuff, and it was easy to form around the base of the tree to mimic a snow fall (since we aren't lucky enough for a white Christmas around here!). Not bad eh? Have a look...
