A Daunting Job

I worked on this a lot today and I am no where near finished. I am glad to be working in such a fun atmosphere. Now I have to go and rest so maybe, I can finish it tomorrow.

Decorating Christmas Trees

I work part time at a Christmas Shoppe and have been decorating trees. This one in particular is huge and daunting. I usually decorate a tree in three layers, starting from the inside and coming out. I try to put the boxes of ornaments out and look at them on the floor for balance and color. I try to place them symetrically around the tree as I am working. This particular tree, I am putting an accent ribbon on first, to guide me the rest of the way.

 

Here I have applied the ribbon and some of the ornaments. This took one day at work to do this far. I will post more pictures of my progress as I go. 

I suppose you can see the detail a little better here. I will try to take some close ups, I just wanted you to see how big this tree really is. 

Alright, now you can see what I am doing when I am not doing shows. This weekend, one more trip Up North to Eagle River Cranberry Festival. If you are up there, it is my last trip, so come and see me on Saturday or Sunday.  I will be in front of the tent behind the chocolate.

Where has the Summer Gone?

Jen is smiling but she is cold. She is my potter friend.

It was one of those days when you can't wait to go inside and warm up. Actually, I had dreams of a woodstove and warm soup. It is one of my last three trips Up North and it welcomed me good. I love going Up North and already am lamenting its end.

Well, we got new interfacing for our blogs and I am not quite sure how to use it yet. We will see. If this is goofy, its all their fault.....This is Robin, my good friend who does wonderful batik on shirts, sweatshirts and pictures.

You can see that people are dressed warmly. I had a very good day, anyway. Now, come and see me at Minocqua's Torpey Park for Beef-a-Rama on Saturday, Sept. 24, I will be along the parking lot by the Minocqua Brewery. 

I didn't get soup and a fire place, but I made me some mean Sauerkraut and Pork when I got home. I can still cook......lol. Caramel apple time and hunting has started. It is officially fall, summer is over........
