The Creative Side of Things….
After making my terrible confession in the last post, I feel a bit better. After all, how could I show you, dear reader, my creative side when I have greatly mistreated my wee little laddie who loves me so dearly?
Last Christmas, my brother Randy gave me the prettiest little glass beaded Christmas tree with the tiniest little ornaments decorating it. I love the tree, but one element was missing! You see, the other day while cleaning things up, I came across a teeny ziplock bag with fifty shiny brass Scottie ornaments just crying out to hang on the beaded Christmas tree!
Even though Randy had provided an enormous number of ornaments, I was able to add even more in the form of Scotties!
I hung those Scotties by bending very thin gold-colored wire into itsy-bitsy “s” hooks, then carefully hanging them, using a pair of tweezers to squeeze the “hooks” shut. I placed 32 of the Scotties on the tree, along with five three-dimensional sterling silver Scotties.
And now, how about that sweater I was working up?
Haha…I thought I needed to display the (completed) sweater back on the lush emerald colored grass….seemed appropriate considering the number of cables and twists on this particular sweater would even make an Irish knitter’s eyeballs spin! I really do love Celtic knitting. Give me cables. Lots of cables!
Now, off to begin the left front of the sweater!

That tree is stunning, I think our semi needs something like that! I have a collection of more then 200 Christmas ornaments (and I’m only 27) that sit in boxes now. Then I could collect big and mini ornaments!
I can’t imagine having the patience to decorate that little tree! Perhaps that is what I should get…a little tree. I am sure the kids would have a blast decorating such a thing, and then we could have a tree in the living room! Hmmm…
The tree is great but I LOVVE your cable work!!!!
I would love to know where you got that tree, I made one several years ago, now I would love to make one for my daughter and daughter in law.
