Placing the jointed corduroy Christmas Bear that I made over 30 years ago in the seat of the chair marks the finish of the chair-tree. Lots of things will still happen in the seat of the chair, but this means I am done with any touch ups.
Now we just enjoy the light and cheer it brings to the living room especially on dull and dreary cold days.
The wooden crates around it have things in it too. Who doesn't like gnomes? Well some folks. I happen to enjoy the few I do have.
I found this gnarly tree ...
...and it sure felt like a place that a gnome would like to hang out in.
It looks like the Gingerbread fellow has it all under control for the North Pole. He is tuning up his snowblower!
Last but not least, I had to try this.
Charlie's Christmas Shot.
Finally, as he approaches the age of 7, he is understanding what this posing is all about. This year, it was super laid back.
I just set him on the turtle stool and put a ribbon around his neck. Here is how we worked it out.
He is very food driven! 20 seconds.... 👇
Out take...
Final. This wasn't the best I've done, but I just wanted to get his 'face' on record for this year. He was a good boy for doing this for me.
Have a great Saturday!
Charlie is so cute! I remember the years we tried to get Christmas pictures with our previous three dogs. Utter chaos! At least we can look back and laugh about it now.
ReplyDeleteI would not survive your cold extremes or I guess you gradually get acclimated to it. Here in Texas we’re “freezing at 45 F”! 😂
One gets used to it. I will post how I dress for the weather. Once one knows how to do that, it's not so bad. Though I may look goofy.
DeleteMark and Charlie have something in common....being food motivated! Charlie is so cute. I like gnomes and yours are especially cute. The Christmas chair brings a bit of whimsy and joy to the room.
ReplyDeleteYum! He does love treats and anyone he can get a treat from.
DeleteThanks, whimsy is exactly what I am looking for.
Your 0 and ours are different things. Thankfully, we don't get to your 0 too often here in balmy Canada. Gotta luv that red bear posed on the chair. Hey! bear on the chair! 😊👍
ReplyDeleteYes, I knew that, sorry that I forget about Celsius all of the time.
DeleteBear on the Chair. Better than Elf on a Shelf!
It is warmer here today at least it is above zero! Charlies coat is so shiny, he looks great ...very handsome!
ReplyDeleteThank you, he has a beautiful silky feeling hound dog coat which keeps him quite warm in the winter.
DeleteThanks, we do have fun doing this!
LD...Charlie is a wonder dog. Most dogs will respond to go snack, The more snacks the better. Your lighted chair and tree is a wonderful thing to se. Love color, lights and decorations.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I just enjoy the process and the colors!
DeleteWow!!!!! I need to see a photo of the entire chair! Lori

We have a couple of gnomes in our house as well! They are indoor gnomes though and do not venture outside.
ReplyDeleteYou did really well with Charlie!
ReplyDeleteI love the lights, sparkles and festive scene.
I love those gnomes!
