Dave and I went to JoAnn Fabrics last weekend to pick out fabric. It was really nice to have him help me. Some of the fabrics I would have chosen he didn't like. So between the two of us, we came up with an even better combination than what I would have decided on myself. Not to mention, between the last bit of a gift card, two coupons, and a sale, we got $45 of fabric for $15!
The holly fabric on the bottom is flannel. It was Dave's idea to get flannel for the underside fabric that will be against the floor. His reasoning was it will stick to the carpet better and not slide around. This will be a good thing, because my family's dogs have a history of snoozing under the tree on the tree skirt! Good thinking, Dave!I am not guaranteeing that the skirt will be done by this Christmas. However, we have almost two weeks off from work starting on Christmas Eve Day, so I will have a lot of time to work on it. This way I will for sure have it ready to go for next Christmas! Hopefully my sewing skills are up to par for this project. Wish me luck!

Aw, it's going to be so nice when you're done! I make Craig help me pick stuff out all the time, since he has to look at it too (like my blog colors, lol). Though he's pretty good about participating, as long as I keep the questions simple, and don't try to get him to figure out why he does or doesn't like something.
I have always wanted to make a tree skirt, but alas, I am not talented enough...lol!!!
Your house looks fabulous by the way! :)
