Easter Bunny Wreath

Spring and Easter are approaching fast.  I spent this weekend enjoying the beautiful, warm weather and spring cleaning.  I woke up early one morning with the idea of an Easter Bunny wreath.  I used two wreaths and wired them together once I had all of the mesh on them.  I added the ears, flowers, eggs, and ribbon last.  I have decided to add this wreath to my Etsy store.  If you are interested in this wreath or any of my other wreaths, you can contact me through my facebook page.  www.facebook.com/DesignsDragonfly

Spring Time Is In The Air: Get Your Orders In For Spring Wreaths

Spring is just around the corner, but it has felt like spring for several days now.  Trees are budding and flowers are springing up everywhere.  It has all put me in the mood to create a new spring wreath.  I have this wreath on my front door.  It is made of Bubblegum Pink, Hunter Green, and Burgundy Gold mesh.  I tied the mesh on with various spring color ribbons.  Hydrangeas and Gerber Daisies adorn the wreath with paisley ribbon peaking out from from the flowers.  The L is painted with Lime Green and Fuschia.  I have an Easter Wreath on the way to be posted.  It will be for sale.  Get your special orders in for a spring wreath.  Pick your colors and let me know what you like on your wreath.

Initially Ours

I created this fun initial frame with the initials of my daughter (K), my husband (M), and myself (J).  It was such an easy project to complete.  I am not sure about the ribbon.  I am thinking about changing it.  I use the vinyl letters and a frame.  I took off the backing and added the ribbon.  It was a project that took approximately 1 hour to make.

I can't wait to make more.  I have so many ideas for this one.

Carnival Celebration

 I am finally back on my blog.  It seems like I have been away forever.  We seem to have contracted everything from stomach bugs to colds and bronchitis.  I am finally on the mend and back to making wreaths. 

Tuesday is Fat Tuesday and I have finally completed my Mardi Gras Wreath.  I am willing to sell if if anyone is interested and would like to have it for their Mardi Gras Celebration. 

I used green and purple mesh with gold organza ribbon.  I found a huge string of Mardi Gras "beads" and cut it apart to add the embellishments.  The large peacock feathers are faux feathers with glitter.  They have a gltter hat placed at the base of them with a mask attatched to it.  Sequin masks are scattered through out the wreath. 
I just love the colors of Mardi Gras and I wanted to make another one after I finished the first one for my friend.
If you are interested in the wreath let me know.  I am not placing it on Etsy since it is so close to Tuesday.

Simple Valentine's Day Decoration

Here is a very simple Valentine's Day decoration to add to your home.  Purchase a package of conversation hearts and add them to any glass candle holder.  It is a whimsical touch to your decorations.  I had some hearts left over so I placed them in a colored martini glass and set them on the ottoman for a tasty treat.

New Home for the Wreath

Thank you to Lisa Burton for sharing pictures of the Carly's birthday wreath.  Lisa custom ordered this wreath from me for her daughter's 9th birthday.  It looks great on her front door.  Lisa told me that it makes her house sparkle.

If you have pictures of the wreaths that I have made I would love to share them.  Please email them to me.  I would love to spotlight each of them.

Before it left for new home.

Oval Grapevine Wreath with Eucalyptus Willow

Tonight, I finished my latest wreath.  I love this wreath and I am very partial to it.  I think it's the colors and the shape of wreath that makes me love it so much.  The wreath is an oval, grapevine wreath with burgundy, copper, and black/gold mesh.  Feathers peak out of the mesh and behind the greenery.  The greenery is dried eucalyptus willow and other greenery.  The smell from the eucalyptus is an added extra to your house.  Various ribbon is tied throughout the wreath including animal print ribbon. 
I will be putting this wreath on Etsy sometime tomorrow.  If you are interested please leave me a message.

Easter Wreath

I have added a new wreath to my Etsy shop.  I added an Easter wreath with a wood Easter bunny on the wreath.  The wreath is made of light yellow mesh with blue wire ribbon.  Silk flowers have been added to the wreath and sparkling Easter eggs peak out from the mesh and flowers.  It's not to early to start thinking about Easter.  Click on the Etsy Mini on the right and see more description about the wreath.

Birthday Celebrations

It seems I have been away for quite awhile.  We had a wonderful celebration for my daughter's birthday.  I just can't believe how 17 years have flown by.  She woke up on her birthday with a candle on her pancakes and the den and kitchen all decorated for her.  I even had a wreath hanging for her day.  The day continued with cupcakes in her Animal science class and then on to Tryon for dinner at Sidestreet Pizza and cake.  I am so proud of Kaylin and the young lady she has become.  The day was great and ended on a high note with surprise gifts.
Thank you to Connie and Tom at The Bakery Off August for making her delicious cake.  You guys are amazing. 

It Takes the Cake

Thank you to Connie Judd and Tom at the Bakery Off August for a fabulous cake.  If you are anywhere near Greenville, SC you must visit this bakery.  Kaylin had a wonderful celebration last night.  It was so nice to be surrounded by family and friends.  Each year of our lives carves us and makes us who we are.  Kaylin has had some years where more was carved than others.  Each good time and bad time has shaped her into a wonderful young lady.  I am so proud of the person she has become.

Happy Birthday, Kaylin

Seventeen years ago today, I was blessed with the greatest gift of all...my daughter.  Everyday since she has filled me with happiness and blessings.  Happy Birthday, Kaylin Lee Jones.  I love you!!!

Birthday Wreath

Last night, I completed a special order for a friend.  She ordered a birthday wreath for her daughter who will be 9 next month.  Lisa, had a picture of a wreath filled with balloons and I took that and decided to use the mesh, balloons, ribbon, and embellishments.  The balloons line the inside of the wreath while the mesh fills the outside.  I curled pipe cleaners and added them throughout the wreath.  Pipe cleaners, still a great crafting resource.  A party hat was added to the top of the wreath and Carly's initial at the bottom.
I hope Carly enjoys it!!!
I would love to make more birthday wreaths.  If you have a party theme let me know and I will create it for the theme. 

A Woman's Prerogative: Change

Some say I just can't make up my mind.  Some say I'm a little ADD or fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants.  I just like to have fun.  Finally, I think that I have the blog template that I like.  It has taken awhile to find one that really fits ME.  I think that I am here.
I almost ended my blogging days because I couldn't find what I really wanted or suited me, but I am here now.
Keep checking back for more wreaths.  I am working on some tonight.
Be sure to check out Etsy.
