My new wreath!

Alright so maybe a wreath isn't all that exciting for some, but I've been wanting one hanging from our front door for a few years now, but just couldn't bring myself to spend $50 0n one. My mom went through all the stuff leftover from mine and my sister's weddings a few months ago and she had some grapevine garland leftover from my wedding 6.5 years ago! When I saw it I snatched it up with plans of having a holiday wreath hanging from my door this Christmas. Since it was so old I soaked it in the tub while I made my fabric flowers. When it was nice and limber again I uncoiled it and reshaped it into my wreath...yes it was a bit of a mess, which I'd have to admit isn't quite cleaned up yet in my kid's bathroom. I secured it with floral wire and hid the wire under the ribbon, then I hot glued my fabric and felt flowers into place. After all the intricate ornament sewing for the advent calendar it was kind of nice to do something fast and free-form. I really like how it turned out. I suppose it doesn't scream Christmas but I guess that just means I'll be able to get more use out of it. I could leave it up until after Valentine's day without it looking out of place. Besides I love that I made it out of stuff I already had, nothing like pretty decor that is free :). It's a slight detour from the tiny ornaments I'm supposed to be making, but I'm going to get back on that this evening. I have 8 to get done by Wednesday in order to stay on track with the sew-a-long!
