<\/a>Not really thinking about how long I would do the series, I started this Christmas ornament series on a whim. I didn’t make any commitments to do it for ‘X” number of days. I just started, saying I would try to do at least 1 ornament a day since I had recently moved to a home where we actually had room for a Christmas tree. We were really excited to have an actual tree this year, with real pine needles and the real pine fresh scent!<\/p>\n <\/a>As I started making one ornament after another, YT friends were very encouraging, but occasionally I would get a comment like, “You can add filler bulbs if you need to.” or “How big a tree are you going to have?”\u00a0 I started to get nervous. If I didn’t make enough ornaments to fill the tree with only handmade ornaments I could be disappointing other folks but more importantly I could be disappointing myself and what I had now set as a goal. What if I had to get a scrawny Charlie Brown kind of tree in order to “fill it” with only handmade ornaments?<\/p>\n
