I have received tons of requests for a tutorial on making the ruffled tree skirt pictured under the tree in my living room. Never fear…I did write one. Here’s the thing, it’s for HGTV.com for Christmas 2011, so you’ll have to wait a few months. You aren’t going to set up a Christmas tree anytime soon, though, right?
In addition to the tree skirt, I’m writing fifteen other tutorials including how to make this versatile wreath…
…no knit stockings…
…a few tablescapes…
…and others. I’ll put the links on my blog when they are posted next season.
So, while all of you are packing up the holiday decor, I’m just getting warmed up! I’m hoping to have it all done in the next couple of weeks, so I can move on to getting ready for the Lucketts Antique Market in May and keeping my retail spaces stocked through the spring.

It will take me another year to make it :/ Worth it though…I think about that tree skirt in my sleep!
Can you wear it too? LOL 🙂
Hey, those projects look great, although I'm partial to the moss wreath and faux mercury glass tutorials! Am I going to get a free t-shirt? 😉
Love that no-sew stocking idea, Marian! I can hardly wait to see your tutorials. Craft rookies like me treasure them!!! lol!

Oh wow, no knit stockings???!!! I am intrigued. I want to make stockings for my family for next year, and was planning on learning to knit. Might still do it, but I would love to see the no-knit option!
That is soooo cool!!

Now that is just plain mean, teasing us like that! I wish I had a fraction of your energy and drive and talent! Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing your tutorials with us all year! I agree with Donna, you should have your own book!
Loved everything! Can't wait!

Hello. Just found your blog and I am in LOVE with your style. Perhaps I haven't yet discovered this yet, but do you have a tutorial on how to make slipcovers for sofas?
Thanks.
I love your tree skirt, it's perfect!!!

How wonderful that you're writing all those tutorials for HGTV! The tree skirt looks lovely, and I'm in desperate need of a new one. I was thinking of knitting a cabled one, but now that I see yours I may have to check out your tutorial next year. Hmmmm.
I look forward to seeing these on HGTV. Congratulations again.
