First of all, this.
Second of all, because laughter is essential, this:
At least five times a day I tell my husband, “Hey, Will, I have a fun idea,” and pretty much every time I am answered with an begrudging sigh and a “What now?” The holiday installment of this exchange involved me wanting to make our Christmas tree a theme tree.
“Like, I don’t know, a book tree!” I exclaimed. “Or a panda tree! I can make all the ornaments myself, and I can do a new one every year! It’ll be so cool!”
“No,” said Will.
Upon the veto, I immediately made a NEW plan to buy and decorate my OWN theme tree so that he may stick THAT in his pipe and SMOKE IT. And so I give you:
That’s 34 labeled mustache ornaments, made by me with a little help from my friend Michael (the craft store, not a human person, though to me he may as well be…)
The garland is made of crocheted bacon:
And to top it all off, a mustache of considerable size and import:
Listen America, I think we can all agree that mustaches are fashionable and bacon is delicious, right? Good? We’re all agreed? Then let’s never speak of them again, or make novelty toys and mugs and t-shirts and wallets and flavored vodka out of their likenesses. Have you ever had mustache-flavored vodka? It’s not good.
Let this tree be the end. Together, we can make this happen.
That is the most epic tree ever!!!
LOL! That is the most memorable and coolest tree I have ever seen! Love it!
I….have no words. You are a hero.
I adore your bacon garland. Great use of a theme. Does your tree have a skirt, perhaps fabric with little pink pigs roaming around? Today i have a post about Christmas Tree skirts, I would love for you to visit and add a link to your post. I’m sure that Mr. Linky has a mustache and I know he loves bacon. http://www.heatherpearson.com/2012/12/oh-christmas-tree-skirt.html
So cool. I never thought of crocheting bacon before, but now I must give it a go! Absolutely awesome Gina!
I love this tradition. If you need help with next year’s tree, I am down for a Theme Tree Party!
“O Theme Tree, oh Theme Tree, how tired are thy memes!”
This is beautiful. :)
Cool! I don’t know how you get these crazy creative ideas! Genius. :)
I love this so hard. If I were to have a Hanukkah bush, it would be just like this, but with latkes and double the bacon.
Love the bacon garland!!!
[…] friend Gina gave her Christmas tree a theme this year. Behold – The Overplayed Pop Culture Tree: A Rhapsody in Mustache and Bacon. (Yes, she is […]
The tree looks amazing! Maybe you could design ours next year? I’m thinking falling cats? :D Merry Christmas, Gina!
Hilarious! Although I think my husband might had a heart attack and the dog would try to eat it!
