For as long as we've lived in our home, we've
never had a front door.
The door we used all the time was out back and inside
the porch.
But once the front porch was enclosed and made
into our main entryway, a new
found pleasure was found.
Decorating the front door.
I began looking on Pinterest for different
autumn wreaths.
This totally intimidated me.
Flowers, fresh and fake scare me. I've
never mastered the look of arranging them!
While out with a friend, I mentioned making a wreath
to her. I knew she did NICE work on wreaths, as
I saw some of her wreaths.
We went to the local craft stores and picked out
the supplies I needed. HOW MUCH FUN!
But I thought I had it made as we were going to
But I thought I had it made as we were going to
work on the wreath
together.
Our schedules didn't work to get together this week.
I really wanted to get it done as I'm having some
ladies over Monday to sew and Bible study.
So I tackeld it today!
First I gathered my supplies and sent the boys
outside. I wanted peace and quiet.
The first thing I did was to wire the garland of
leaves to the grape vine leave base.
So far it was pretty easy.
I think I could do this!
I started to place the other fall decorations
on the wreath.
The two youngest boys and I went up the road
to a cemetary where there are tall pine trees.
We gathered some pinecones, but I also
had to buy some as there weren't enough.
Slowly I added more and more.
I really liked how it started to look.
Each time a boy would come in, they'd comment
how good it looked.
They really know how to make me more motivated!
Two hours later, it was done!
I just love it!
Stop in for a cup of tea.
Note: The wreaths I was looking at were in
Hobby Lobby. They ranged from
$50-199! I had NO idea a wreath cost
that much. The nice ones were not any better
than the one I made.
My supplies cost $25. If you have
access to grapevine, you could save $5.
Thankyou, my friend, for the encouragement
and confidence you gave me,
to try this project!
