Decorating the Tree

Nothing much happening sewing or doll-wise this weekend, as we are decorating the house for Christmas. Our normal decorating style is "maximalist", and for Christmas that goes up several more notches to "Super Maximalist", especially when it comes to the tree. There must be at least a thousand ornaments, so it usually takes a week to finish hanging all the decorations on it. My job is to un-box and unwrap everything while Jan hangs the stuff on the tree, then I finish up with all the special things, like big red bows, mushrooms, tiny bells, angels, and candy-canes.

I put aside several kinds of ornaments for photos - some super fancy glass ones for artsy shots, and a bunch of others that would be good for doll photo accessories. After taking photos the ornaments will end up back on the tree where they belong.
