make it work – part 3


You may remember our friend Trudy from Monday’s story about Bim Willow’s tree-making workshop. Trudy was our neighbor and sister in arms that morning; we shared laughs and suggestions while struggling to coerce our willow branches into anything resembling a tree. (Reminder: It takes a village to make a holiday craft.)

The three of us hit it off, and we promised at the end of the morning to keep in touch. A few days later, Trudy sent us this photo of a holiday project she undertook at her home. We thought it was such a great idea that we asked if we could share it, and Trudy readily agreed.

It’s quite beautiful: Trudy fastened a large tree branch from her living room ceiling, and hung her collection of glass ornaments and other trinkets from the branches. The effect, especially in the sunlight, is charming.

As projects go, It seems relatively straightforward. But that’s what Bim Willow said ours would be, so what do we know. We love the effect, and thank Trudy for the idea!
