Continuing with some more of my Christmas projects…
We used the small tabletop tree this past year hoping Simon would not attack it or kill it, and we waited until the last minute to put it up. It was a good thing we waited because he tried to climb it; he chewed the lights; he chewed the cords; he chewed the tree; he chewed the ornaments; he batted at the ornaments… I guess he did pretty well meaning this was his first Christmas with us.
I wanted something different to put on the top of the tree this year and found a Finnish star project online here. Mine is plain and white, but hey, I like it.
Funny thing about the tree… We were having to defend it from Simon and were scared to leave him home alone with it, but when we got up the next morning after we had it up and decorated, the top string of lights was not working. Naturally, I thought Simon was to blame, but after much searching we found a loose bulb. Simon wasn’t to blame after all. I apologized to him, but I don’t think he understood. Remember, he IS a cat… 🙂
Happy Gardening and may our pets always know how much we love them!

That darn cat! He sounds more like a dog, chewing on everything. What a character he is 🙂
Thanks for sharing the gorgeous pictures!
Hope all is well with you.
Bee well!!
Hi, Bee. Simon is a character. He has settled down a bit but can still be a pain at times. We love him anyway! We are plugging along as best we can. Hope you are doing the same. Take care and have a great Monday (and rest of the week)!
We have a cat that chews too. She was working on the vacuum cleaner cord this morning..I love the star ornament! I looks very nice..
Thanks, Roberta. Cats can be so devilish but you can’t help but love them for their inquisitiveness. Take care and have a good week!
The star ornament is so pretty – and wouldn’t life be boring without Simon’s antics?
Thanks. I think life would dull and boring without Simon! Take care, Lillian!
sounds like Simon keeps you on your toes!
nothing more dismaying than to get the tree all finished and lights go out…luckily you found the problem…I can easily lose patience over that…lovely tree topper you made!
Happy January

Thank you, Patty. I lose patience with lights, but luckily my daughter found the problem while Simon was busy getting into something else. It is never boring around here. Please take care and have a Happy January.
