Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas, my friends!
This is our fall-open-pre-lit-skinny-tree with a few decorations on it.

Poodles, cows and betty boop. I collect ornaments from everywhere we go, and love little ornaments most of all. I have a few friends who keep a tree up all year long with seasonal ornaments on it, and I think that is genius. What a way to display whimsical collections. I have two trees worth of ornaments in the basement with the big tree but our house is so small...

Cole's perch is right next to the tree and I often wonder what he thinks about the whole decoration-concept.
"if you put this here for me, it doesn't smell remotely like venison and none of those toys even squeak"
"if you think I'm dyeing my hair pink and jumping voluntarily into a bubble bath, you're crazier than I thought"
"I can hardly SEE the TV now"

I grew up with a real tree, big lights and tinsel shimmering all over it. Then in the late 60's we went to a silver foil fake tree with a tri-color wheel light that turned the living room into a disco. When I struck out on my own I had a real tree with tiny twinkling white lights and crafted ornaments. We realized a few years ago we all had an allergy to fresh cut trees, so have tried several faux ones.
Life moves along doesn't it?? What kind of tree do you have??

the house that needs too much

I looked at the flowers in their little starter boxes    PLANT-ME
I see the bird feeder from last year                         FILL ME
I see the old tired dirty carpet                               REPLACE ME
I see old tired baths and kitchen                           RENOVATE ME
I see a messy studio from too many deadlines          SORT ME
I see a dining room table, well I can't actually SEE it   ClEAN ME OFF
I see laundry mountain                                             WASH ME
I see a hungry poodle                                              FEED ME (so I do)

Too much to do, and the studio wins again as usual. I am under deadline with two challenges as well as trying to get digital pictures for entries done. And figure out how to design this blog. People said, it's so easy!
They lied.

It's a wonder I have any hair left. My niece sympathetically condensed my rants to :  " not tech savvy??"

so I'll put off the picture of my current project til tomorrow when I hope to learn how to link to Nina-Marie's  off the wall Friday site.

The studio is calling, MAKE SOMETHING and I'm going to listen. The house can wait another day.
