Fairy Lights in the dark: No Flash

 I ended up having to use my phone to take a picture without a flash. I hate my phone pics but that's all I had. Now I just need a tree topper for this thing and can take the batteries out and put it away for next year. It turns out I couldn't figure out how to turn the flash off on my old Kodak either. Maybe I should sell it and use the money to get a better phone. If whoever sees this don't know about my tree. It is a Barbie sized Christmas tree wrapped with micro LEDs or fairy lights.

I wish I had more to say but I have been very busy with other things lately.

Fairy Lights for a Doll-Sized Tree

I was dreaming about getting some more lights for my doll-sized dollhouse and particularly for the Christmas tree. I lucked up and found a pack of 3 fairy lights for the price I usually pay for one right after the Holiday. The lights don't have blinking mode or colors, just a timer. They are fairly simple but they work. I started with the blank tree I found in a thrift store. 

I love how the Barbie Made to Move can stand on her own as long as she has boots on her weak little ankles. 

I kept the wiring inside the branches as much as possible. I was trying to hide the fact there is so much wiring between each little light. I have more of the gold tinsel so I will try that. I really want it finished before I put it away for the next year. 
Now, when all my batteries are charged, maybe I'll get a photo without the flash. I can't figure out the flash on my camera, so I'm trying to revive an old Kodak of mine. 
I worked on some more decorations for the tree a little bit yesterday. The theme for this one will be silver and gold even though I like red the best.
