Bringing Home the Christmas Tree

Hey Y'all,

One of the most wonderful and exciting things around Christmas time is bringing home the tree. In my mind, I think of snowy hills and going out, cutting down the Christmas tree and bringing it back home. In my imagination that means bringing it home on a cart by tractor through the snow. I always email my dad a photo of special things like this before I post it. As I was talking to my mom on the phone about something else I asked if they received the photo. Dad yelled in the background that I had the seat in the wrong place and mom said and you didn't put a steering wheel. Well the truth is I knew the seat was in the wrong place and I just forgot the steering wheel.


I almost groaned out loud, the thought of how much I would have to alter this to make it right was mind boggling. I was trying so hard to make it special but not so difficult that no one would want to try to make it. My dad was right though I needed to change it and do it correct to the best of my ability.  I have included a few photos to show you the first Tractor and then the paper craft causality. The causality was to salvage the brads I had used and to use the body as something to look at as I made the puzzle of the tractor right.


 I started to write it all up for you here and my mind was spinning with trying to explain it all. It isn't that what I altered was hard, not at all I know most of you can do this. It is that not being able to show you what I did is hard. I want to be able to describe it in a way you will understand and not confuse myself in the process.  I ask that you be willing to wait till after the new year. Writing it up will not take long, but  I would like to be able to spend time with my family and give them my full attention during this very special time of the year. So to all of my readers, thank you for reading my blog, leaving me some love by way of comments, and telling me how much you enjoy my projects. You encourage me to try that much harder for you. To all of you, a very blessed and wonderful Christmas. Happy Craftin' Y'all! Blessings, Sharalyn

  3. Yes that is the romantic in me I guess. My mom has taught my whole life Family is the most important thing. It is only these past couple of years I have learned that family isn't necessarily just blood. My Church family is a fun, crazy, caring group that I count as family too and you and Leo and Winnie and my family on SVG cuts. Your my family too. Blessings dear ones! Hugh hug for Leo's Mom OK? I love her to pieces!

  4. Love this (and many of your other creations discovered on pinterest)! I've been waiting for your instructions on how you put this together. Could you please share how you constructed the wheels?

    1. I am sorry it has taken me so long and lately I have been so busy taking care of other things that I haven't even been in my craft room for about a week and a half! I will try to shake the cobwebs from my mind and remember how I made the wheels. I know I tried several times to write up this and found that it was soooo complicated that I couldn't figure out how to write it all up. I had altered sooooo much! Please give me another day or two to shake the memory loose on this. We have had some family illnesses going on but I will look today and see if I can remember how I did this. Thanks so much for being patient. I am sorry I have taken so long I should have said it was so complicated that I confused myself! Blessings Sharalyn

    2. Please don't be concerned about this until you absolutely have some time, free and clear of any other concerns. I will certainly appreciate you taking the time to give us the instructions whenever - no rush!

  5. Thank you so much we are taking care of some things that are much needed and his mom had some more health concerns we having been taking care of. I will try to get it written soon, I went back and read what I had and confused myself so I had to simply close it for now. To much else on my mind. Thanks so much for understanding. Blessings Sharalyn

  6. I love this design. Do you have the instructions posted somewhere that I can download them? I have a friend who just loves tractors and this would be great for Christmas.

    1. I've tried over and over again to write how to make this but there were so many alterations to the original designs that I confuse myself when I write it.
      Since the orginal files belobg to Mary Rudakas of svg cuts, I can't give you the altered files which is the only way I can think of for anyone else to make it.
