trimming the tree and reading books.

hello there kittens.
for the past couple days i've spent every free second helping mr. shirey study for his fist ever master's level midterm (which is tonight!) and making pretties for our first christmas tree together. so it's safe to say that we both have been boring shut ins this week with no interesting blogging material. but hey, we're not complaining.
so without further adieu, here's some little somethings that i made this week:

christmas bells. pattern found here

granny square trees. pattern found here
