The ornaments are ready for delivery!

11/3/2021

 
But first, I can report that the binding on the postage stamp quilt is now 37% complete. I actually didn't work on it at all this weekend because of the rest of this post, but I set a new of next Tuesday so I can take it to show-and-tell. I'm working on it diligently now and have finished one full side and 2 corners.
It's progress.

What I did all weekend was work on the ornament storage. For new readers, I'll give a little background.

Are you old enough to remember when we used to get a catalogue of catalogues? There was no internet so we could only find out about new shopping sources by getting a catalogue that literally was only a collections of catalogues that you could subscribe to, mostly for free. It was in one of those that I discovered Cracker Box Kits. I was working at Bank of America and living in Charlotte, NC. Chris was stationed in Charleston, SC and we were lucky if we saw each other on weekend. He was deployed 9 of the 18 months he was stationed there. I already had acquired TWO knitting machines and, of course, I had my sewing. But making Christmas ornaments seemed intriguing.  I ordered a couple of kits and I was hooked. Even back in 1993 one of their inexpensive kits was over $20. The most expensive was about $70. That was one called Cinderella's Coach and I did eventually get it too just before it priced over $100....FOR A KIT! Each ornament took a minimum of about 14 hours and up to 40 hours to complete. It was fabulous entertainment and stress reduction from a really stressful job.
Picture
Fast forward to 1998 and we moved here. I found this awesome upside-down tree and we used it for display for years but it was a complete paint in the next to set up. I eventually found three rotating trees and used those until recently. I tried to find the photo of the most recent display but I can't find it.

I did love displaying them but no one ever saw them. When Christmas happens around here we are always going somewhere else.​ They are now on their way to my sister-in-law (and brother but he has no say in this transaction) to display on her beautiful white Christmas tree. After almost 30 years, it's time for the ornaments to move on and I am thrilled that my SIL and niece want them.
You will not be surprised to discover I kept records of the the kits I made and when I made them. I even kept all of the instructions. I remember that someone actually once contacted me to buy one of the instructions. Of course, I just gave it to her. But that shows the devotion of the people who made these kits. I easily have $3000 (but probably closer to $5000) invested in these. But, that's nothing compared to what I have invested in sewing machines. I justify it as my drug money.

The instructions were VERY detailed and you had to work on the step-by-step, reading ahead was to be avoided. There were very few drawings so the instructions had to be very specific and they were! I never had to contact them for clarification.
Picture
Picture
These are the first 2 kits I made in 1993. On the left is Wind in the Willows and on the right is Curtain Call. Every ornament had a name and an inspiration story. The guy who designed them had previously designed costumes in Las Vegas. You can see the influence for sure.

The business is in New Hope, PA. The original designers/owners (Paul and Walter) are, sadly, gone but someone who loved the ornaments bought the business and continues it. I got to go to New Hope once and visit their little showroom and meet them. They were real characters.
​
Picture
I have this linen closet in the upstairs hallway and that's where I stored them. Hanging them is the best way to store them. My college roommate once commented that if she ever had to explain to the FBI what I was like that she would just bring them here to see this. That's about right. I do love organization and precision.

Which brings me to the transfer storage. My SIL doesn't have a closet like this so I needed to come up with a way to store them. It has to be in bins that she can stack and that led me to 1" thick foam with circles cut out for then to rest in.

Picture
The problem started with cutting circles. I just couldn't figure out how to cut them so I spent HOURS AND DAYS working out a plan to add a layer of fabric to hide the ugly foam cuts. The fabric needed to be pleated to sink down into the foam holes and it was a nightmare. Finally on Saturday night I gave up and decided that I had to find a better way to cut the circles. I walked through every corner of the house and every craft space and even looked through that trash. That's when I saw the discarded tin can from making hummus.

I thought I might be able to heat the open end and melt the foam. That does not work at all and you are in real danger of burning the crap out of yourself. Dont' try that.

Then I thought of the tin can lid. That sucker is really sharp. People cut themselves on lids all the time. How could I make the edge of the can sharp like the lid? Well it turns out that you can hold the can opener sideways and cut off the rim of the can! Yes, yes you can! You do have to use some pliers to smooth out some bends but it works awesomely.
​
Picture
Dig it. Freaking awesome perfect circles! Think of all the sizes of circles you could cut with all the different sizes of cans. Oh, the possibilities!
Picture
120 of them to be exact.
Picture
So the final solution is a layer of puffy polyester batting covered in fabric to provide padding for sticky-out parts of the ornaments under a layer of 1" thick foam.
Picture
Each bin has 2 layers of ornaments. I made a shelf from foam core board. I tried to get 3 layers in a bin but it was just too tight and the top ornaments would be smashed by the lid. 
Picture
I was also worried about plastic off-gassing so I wanted to allow for some air circulation. I drilled 3 holes in each end and glued on a piece of organza so that bugs couldn't get in through the holes. That was probably overkill but, hey, it's me.
Picture
Here are the 3 bins packed and ready to go. I've shaken the bins and the ornaments are quite stable in there. Sometime before Thanksgiving, Mom and I will drive down to Newport News to deliver them to their new home.
Very exciting.

In case you are wondering what's going into that empty linen closet. It's surely not linens but you might get a whiff of yarn if you walk by it in the next few weeks.

What beautiful and intricate ornaments! And such an ingenious way to pack them!

What a generous gift. And clever storage idea! And how fortunate that a family member wants them. Win-win!

Parting with the ornaments must be difficult but you can console yourself with knowing you can go and visit them whenever you want.

The ornaments are so beautiful and I'm sure they will be spending a lot of time looking at each one as they decorate the tree. I would never have made it past one and you did 120? Amazing!

Oh, my, that heated hummus can sounds so dangerous! I’m impressed at the ingenuity and tidiness of your solution.

Ha ha.....I got a great laugh at your thought process on making the circle punch for the ornaments. I do things that way too.

I am sure those will look lovely on the white tree. And Yes, I see the "showgirl" costume inspiration in these.

I am impressed that you were able to cut the rim off that can! Now what are you going to do with all those foam circles? It would seem like a waste just to toss them. The ornaments ought to be happy in their new home! So now what are you going to do with all those instruction sheets?

Vicki, I have come to the conclusion that you are certifiable!! LOL I wish I had 1/4 of the energy you put forth on a daily basis. That ornament closet was definitely a mind blowing creation, and one that kept them looking like they were brand new. Your sister-in-law and niece are the fortunate recipients of these beautiful ornaments, and I would love to see them on her white tree when it's decorated. I imagine they will be stunning.

So gorgeous! Reminded me of Fabrege Easter eggs made for royalty. Your followers hope to see your SIL’s tree decorated with them. Over the top with glam!

What a wonderful gift for your sister-in-law. I know they will still be in the family, but weren't you tempted to keep even a few for yourself? :-)

Amazing. Just amazing Thank you for the detailed story on the ornaments and your history. I remember bits and pieces of it. I recalled that your husband had been stationed in Charleston, where I reside.

Love the story and the ornaments!!!

A lovely older woman taught me how to bead the glossy reflective balls with beads and thread and I went from that to beading bowling balls but I never went to the numbers of the lovelies you created!

Thanks for the tip on turning the can opener to get a sharp edge on a can.... I need a new biscuit cutter and a tomato sauce can is perfect and now it will be sharp!

I am so excited to put these on my tree!!! I appreciate them so much and I can appreciate all of the hard work it went in to making them 😃. Thank you!!!!
P.S. David is just along for the ride🤣

Ingenious solution all around for the ornament storage, especially the circle cutter and the organza for the plastic holes. Now you'll have to figure out a used for the foam circles, but I'm sure you'll come up with something!

What an amazing lifetime treasure your are gifting them. The creative thinking into the storage for your SIL - keeps them safe from harm. Love the upside down tree. Hope she lets you share her display on her white tree. I'm sure it will be stunning.

Those ornaments are gorgeous. I've had 2 kits for several years. Never made them. :( Maybe I'll find them and do it. Love the storage cabinet idea.
