And so it begins. Christmas crafting season.
It begins with locally sourced pine cones from a couple's tree that was their Christmas many years ago. This thing is at least 30ft tall. It kinda gives it that full circle holiday feel, harvesting pine cones from a planted Christmas tree from years ago. The dear sweet lady stated it was the biggest fall of cones she's ever seen from the tree, decorated with the white tips. Hey, means I don't hafta paint them. Haha
I will be drying out the cones in a 200f oven for 90 minutes. Kills any mold, mildew, and little creepy crawly things that need not be shared with others with crafted holiday cheer.
More to come
