Q: Should I even bother with ornaments? *read on*?
I put the tree up tonight, we have these glss ball ornaments but Im wondering if it is even worth it. I have a three year old a one year old two cats and two dogs. One being a clumsy Pit Puppy. I look at these ornaments and see shattered glass and tree all over my foyer... * looks over to see the cat already helping herself to a bite of the tree* Should I try it?
A: the kids you can teach to be gentle with your ornaments but the pets are another story. i would leave your glass ornaments put away. i went and bought some really cute wooden garlands, they're red and have yellow wood stars, can't break them and they add color.
Q: Snowbound, need a tree-top, please help? Have muslin, hangers, paint, extra ball-ornaments, etc.?
Do you have any ideas? Do you have a pattern for a simple muslin angel- I have fine golden wool for hair, and gold ribbon for trim? We have company coming (local) but the stores are about an hour away, so it's risky to take the car out on the mountain...
This is nothing to cancel plans over, still, the tree topper is the real crescendo to a lovely night.
Ps, Tree is being done up in a semi natural theme, with typcial gold balls, ornaments covered with "berries" and "leaves", aplles, pears, and icicles. So, something everyday would fit in.
A: I think you are on the right track--I would cover a ball with the muslin for her head, secure with ribbon and then let the muslin flow down for her dress--similar to how you would make a ghost for Halloween, and then decorate her with a simple face, put hair on her, trim her dress.
