Note to self: If you decide to wire seventeen thousand ornaments to the tree next year because "Surely, that's the way Martha does it", you need to be taken out to the back yard and smacked about the face repeatedly with a two by four.
I've been un-wiring ornaments from the *@#()&% Christmas tree for the last nine hours and I'm not even half way through yet.
(And yes, in the event you were wondering....I exaggerate for effect, people. It's how I roll.)
Man - that HAD to cut into your stitchy time! But, your tree was beautiful.....
ReplyDeleteThat would be me in a not-so-good mood. Stewey better be on his best behavior!
ReplyDeleteSorry, need an edit button. That should have read "would put me....".
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll forget how awfull it was to take the lights down by next November bc your tree sure looked good.
Besides there is no need for smacking in your life...lol... Stewey took care of ore paid punishment by peeing on all sort of unwanted placesl
It is amazing that you can see to do that with all the blue air around!! Good luck finishing it!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I wire my ornies on too, so my 2 cats can`t get them off (they still manage to get a few off, unbreakables on the bottom). I promised my hubby i`d have my tree down by Valentines Day...we will see!
ReplyDeleteKisses to Stewey and Bosco...
Just remember this for next time. LOL
ReplyDeleteIf you wait another month, or so, the tree will be so dried out it will crumble and all you have to do is collect the ornaments and sweep up the debris. And, why isn't Stewey helping?
ReplyDeleteDon't beat yourself up! Yes, that probably IS the way Martha would do it... but she has paid staff that does it for her, and they have the hideous job of undoing it after Christmas. Aren't we glad Christmas only comes around once a year? ;-) I'm sure your tree was exquisite! ~ Lorraine
ReplyDeleteUgh, I never thought of wiring ornaments onto the tree, but then I've never had a pet that would knock them off either. Hopefully the rest of the tree goes faster so you can get back to stitching.
