The kittens decided that our little Christmas Tree was the best thing since sliced bread. It lasted in our living room for all of 6 hours before Chris woke in the middle of the night to a number of suspicious sounds and found all 12 pounds of Dexter precariously perched in the top branches. Now the traditional tree is in our bedroom and I never see it. To compensate for my sad Christmas Tree-less living room I decided to fashion a faux tree on the wall with lights and then hang all off the felt ornaments that I made this year on it. I realize that the whole thing is beyond tacky but at least I have some semblance of a tree to look at, and thankfully the kittens don’t bother it at all.

I LOVE it! Such a creative and festive way to solve the problem. I think the felt ornaments turned out nicely. And I wouldn’t mind waking up to a Christmas tree in my bedroom. (Of course, Dexter does know how to open doors!!!) Happy Holidays to you all!
I like it! You did well
If by “tacky” you mean “quirky” and “inventive”, then yes your description of that lovely tree is spot on.
[…] not quite right this year. Perhaps it’s the fact that I wasn’t able to put our adorable little tree in the living room because Watson and Dexter refused to stop scaling the branches? Until this […]
[…] sounds completely narcissistic and horrible but I am so not a crafty person. Last year I made the ugliest felt Christmas ornaments you’ve ever seen so I hope you’ll understand if I lead off with a tad of […]
