Twig Wreath

From a pile of tree trimmings to this... not bad, right?



It was simple. I just chose a long stick and formed it into a circle and secured it with a piece of wire. Then I added little bunches of twigs around in the circle secured with more wire. I found the green dogwood flowers at Target on a very long stem and just cut them off and tucked them into it. So for $8.00 I have a new wreath for over my bed. :)

Sometimes I find out about things late...


Like this fabric, for instance. I love it... but there's not much of it around at my local quilt shops anymore. I think other people loved it, too.



Anyhow, I did get my little hands on on Jelly Roll. She is all mine... mine all mine. She will, one day soon, have a happy spot on my bed as a comfy, cozy quilt. I just have to decide on the design for my quilt blocks and I'll be off and running or sewing... ;)

I have a few projects going at the moment that I can't wait to share. I saw this amazing chandelier redo and I hopped into the car just as soon as I could to snap up the 2 unloved fixtures I saw the day before at the thrift store. Phew! They were still there! Yippee for me! So something along along those lines in the works.

Also, a twig wreath for my bedroom inspired by the pile of branches my husband made from pruning various shrubs and trees in my yard.

Check back for the fun!
