Christmas Decorations

Yippee for K-mart. That's where we got ours too years ago. It's been working out fine. Except, ours doesn't turn I'm envious. That would be too darn cool!!!!!!

You are so talented with a needle and thread Diana. I can't sew worth poop.

I wasn't able to put our tree skirt on this year. Ummmm, I guess one of the fur kids pottied on it last year and I wasn't aware. Well, I put it away in a bin for the year and then took it out this year. OMG that horrible puppy potty smell.

I thought maybe i could wash it but it said do not wash OR dry clean. I thought it was ruined. I first sprayed an enzyme solution on it and tried airing it out for days on end. That didn't work. Last ditch effort before throwing it away I thought id just soak it in the washer w/ Oxy Clean then spin dry. What did I have to lose right?

Well, it turned out great. No more smell. I never did put it under the tree though. Already stuff under there. So I will use it again next year.
I was thrilled I didn't have to throw it out. I really love it. It's different fabrics in velvet/velour or whatever it's called in a quilting pattern.
