I was supposed to do these yesterday.\u00a0 I finally made myself do the stairs to the basement, to look for the bows I needed for the wreaths and swags.\u00a0 I was so efficient boxing up Christmas last Spring to get it out of the way of our packing, that I can’t find a bin filled with burgundy bows!\u00a0 So, I sulked and didn’t get anything done yesterday.<\/p>\n
In a moment, I’ll be leaving the computer to make bows for three carriage lights and two wreaths.\u00a0 This morning Dear Husband and I went out to Michael’s so that I could get the bows I needed.\u00a0 Of course, those bows are no longer to be found on every end cap in the store, so I’ll have to make them.\u00a0 Luckily, the ribbon was on sale, at half price.<\/p>\n
I want to get the swags up at the carriage lamps, and the outdoor wreath in place this afternoon.\u00a0 We have a little bit of rain coming in tomorrow, and I’d like to take advantage of our 62 degree temps!\u00a0 I also need to trim some of our evergreens for branches to fill the container at the dining room windows.\u00a0 I have tall, curvy twigs that will give the arrangement some height, and I picked up some fake red berries.\u00a0 It remains to be seen if the squirrels will check out the berries while they look for places to hide black walnuts.\u00a0 If it looks like they’ll be an attractive nuisance, I’ll find something safer to use.<\/p>\n
So, I hope you’re all enjoying the day as much as I am.\u00a0 Happy Holidays, and a Merry Christmas to you all!<\/p>\n
