A Not So Traditional Christmas Tree… Full of Lights and Colour

Believe it or not… this year we actually have a Christmas tree at home. Last year we had a high chair decorated with lights and colourful braids, and honestly it wasn’t that bad. But this time the little one is completely in love with lights, and I also like the idea of having something bright and colourful in the living room. It will probably stay there until the Dad gets tired of seeing it.

I tried to find the least traditional Christmas decorations possible. We have a sphere with a Fantail Pīwakawaka… a bird from this country that I absolutely love. I made crocheted ice creams, watermelons and tiny houses using the beautiful patterns from @picapauyan, plus rainbows, sequin spheres, lots of pompoms and instead of garlands I braided strands of yarn.

And of course, I had to add this cookie eater bear created by the lovely @koloroshop for the #advientosolidario. I love baking cookies, my family loves eating them… so it felt perfect to welcome Benny the bear into the family.
