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

Gold Mardi Gras Mask

 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.
