In my closet there are trees.

Down with a flu I am and went to the doctor yesterday. So I am on antibiotics and inspite of that I had fever yesterday. So I am too miserable to say something funny or anything so I'd better tell you what I did last Saturday.
We met again at Anna's In My Closet very cozy welcoming kitchen to make things. This time we were about 20 people and almost one on top of the other! But it was so enjoyable. The initial idea was to make various Christmas ornaments and we ended up making mainly the felt Christmas tree! I loooooved it! Mainly because it was something I could easily do as I have been making similar trees for the school bazaar lately!
The good thing was that Anna had prepared the base for the trees.
Here are photos from the meeting!

 Anna showed us the pattern and gave us the details!

 Some joked about it and made fun!

 Others like me fell on the job!

 There was lots to choose from but I chose this lovely soft light green felt.

 Everyone was making their own tree.

Some were taking photos.

 I made two trees. First I made one with beads I borrowed from Christina for Lia, a member who couldn't come.

Then I had a break and ate some great sweets !

 Martha made some lovely cardamon biscuits.

 And Anna's sister Vassiliki made the amazing Christmas tree cookies and oreo covered cookies. You can find that recipe here at her blog!

I also tried some of Demetra's chocolate mint icecream.
 After eating I made a second tree this time for me and adorned it with beautiful buttons that were sent to me at an exchange by Valma. They looked gorgeous on my tree.

The two trees in the front row are the ones I made.

I ate some great chocolate pie by Christina, and took some cookies at home.
I made cheese and dill muffins. I heard they were good.

You can read all the details and see me posing with my first tree in Anna's blog here.
