Trees are really hard to photograph. I think my tree is much more beautiful in person. Using a flash totally washes it out, without flash it's blurry. I had to settle...just couldn't get it right. Hopefully I can get some better photos later.
Papier Mache' deer are about 30 years old.
Hubby and I buy at least one new ornament each year. We like acorns. Some years we buy a pear, some years a bird. The acorn is in the upper left corner, kind of hard to see. It is pretty large though.
Dear Sweet Hubby played golf all day yesterday, with the promise he would hang lights today. Of course it was cold both days, so here he is, getting started, 38 degrees and windy. He did the front yard today and will work on the back yard tomorrow.
I spent a big part of today making these Tim Holtz rosettes. They are NOT as easy as he makes them look. One needs 3 hands to hold and glue them. The perforations that you fold on are very easily torn apart. I am glad I don't have to make a living assembling these little things. Also, glad I have decided I won't be making enough for a garland! If I were, I'd have had to start in July!
We had a great Sunday, just hanging out together, doing stuff, went out for coffee and a newspaper. Weather forecast says we will get into the low 30's tonight.
I have the same problem getting a photo of our tree. Yours looks beautiful. I love the acorn ornament. I think I may have one that is really old but it's a rosy pink color!
ReplyDeleteThe rosettes look great but isn't it always the way....they make things look so easy but when you start making them it isn't that easy at all.
Your tree is lovely, not sure we will put one up this year, I may just look a the one I had two years ago. This past year we were in the motorhome. The rosettes are lovely. I find some difficult things are therapeutic to do, that's good for me sometimes.
