Even though I have piles of laundry to sort through today, and a kitchen full of dishes that need my attention - I will be darned if the front of my house doesn't look spiffy at all times. ♥ ♥ ♥
Which is why I've been working on a new wreath for my humongo door. It's either 8 or 9 feet tall... and needs something to make it pretty. I made that huge Christmas wreath (which I loved). So, I decided to try making a new wreath - one that would last me until the fall, at least!
I got my supplies from Hobby Lobby. They didn't have an foam circle thingies, so I settled for hay-stuff wrapped in plastic. It worked just fine. I picked up a cream yarn, and got to work. I found this to be the most tedious part of the job - but I knew I would love the end result, so I just kept wrapping. And wrapping.
And wrapping. I finished it Saturday night while Marcos and I sat down to watch "You Again."
I got up early yesterday to put the final pieces on.
And here is the final product:
Before I actually attached the flowers, I decided to use a clear poly spray on the fabric to see if I could weather proof it a little. Hopefully it will work.
Besides the wreath, I've also been working on some frames for the kids' hallway to go with that beach cruiser pic I found. Very excited about that.
And then finally, we heart attacked the front windows of the house.
Hope you all are having a LOVE-FILLED day!!
Your door looks beautiful....you are so creative...I am not good in that area at all.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your wreath. It is just the right touch for making your entry even 'homier'.
ReplyDeleteI loved having wreaths at our old house...we now have tall/glass doors. Sans wreaths.
