In the Process : No Worry, Scurry, or Hurry
The after holiday time finds me happily languishing in the process of life instead of the results. There is no hurry, worry, or scurry.
The Big Tree With a Lesson
If you have read my blog for a year at least, you may remember that I decorate the 15 foot tree at the Unitarian Universalist church we attend in Easton, Maryland. This year I added a new element or two which brought a little different texture to the tree’s design. The amazing paper snowflakes are…
Christmas 2016 is Decorated
When asked why I hadn’t gone to any effort to wear an ugly sweater to our neighbor’s party, I answered, this is not my realm of effort. I use every drop of my holiday creativity to decorate my tree. My tree is for me and it kicks everyone else’s tree’s butt. Plus at my age,…
Merry Christmas Decorations 2014
As I arranged the last present under the tree which has already become frozen into a crunchy statue… And I styled the last vase on the mantle so I could take my official Christmas decorations pictures 2 days before C-Day, I felt good about all of it. I was able to go to the grocery…
It’s A Small Recycling World Christmas Tree
If it’s perfect, you can’t improve it. And so I didn’t change one thing from my decorations last year to this year for the 15 foot tree at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Easton. My post from last year is here. The theme again for this Christmas tree was definitely global awareness and I also…
Twitchy Lights
This is a leftover post from the 2013 Christmas season . With Christmas here again soon, I thought I’d finally publish it a year later. These lights are still out there and waiting for you to mistakenly buy them like I apparently did. I give you Christmas past a la 2013 complete with a 9…
A Moroccan Christmas Tree
This past weekend was another one crammed with creativity and good company. A birthday party and a dear friend and her family over for dinner was then followed by the decorating of a tree to benefit the Talbot County, Maryland’s Hospice Organization. I was asked to do this tree last minute by my friend Pama,…
It’s a Small World On A Large Tree
This was my fourth year designing and decorating a 15 foot tree at our Fellowship in Easton. Besides all the trees I’ve fussed over for myself, the ones at my shop, I’ve had previous experience decorating trees professionally with my friend Pama from Moonvine. Both at her shop, and at Annie’s restaurant on Kent Narrows….
I’m One Happy Christmas Crafter
It is my considered opinion that Christmas is about creativity as well as reverence. An opportunity to offer one’s gratitude from the depths of your creative soul. To play like a child and feel proud of what you’ve done. Designing this 15 foot Christmas tree, I needed other elements to complete my vision. After trolling…
The Other Christmas Tree
I have the pleasure, and self-imposed duty, of decorating the 15 foot tree at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Easton. Themes have varied over the last three years. And this year will be no different. I use it to spark some ornament making project and I am always rewarded with the outcome. Last year I…
