that wreath

my poor yarn-wrapped wreath has been sitting around unfinished for so long that it was starting to be un-lovingly referred to as "that wreath".

it took some time to wrap the wreath with yarn, so i did it a little bit at a time whenever i had a few minutes to spare. once it finally got wrapped, it took forever to find a chunk of time to pull out all the felt, cut and roll the flowers and work some magic with the hot glue gun.

today, i was able to find time for all of the above, and even managed to get a hot glue burn on one of my toes {don't ask}, and finally finished that wreath.

all finished...only to find that i didn't have any ribbon to hang it with. well, i have lots of ribbon, but i didn't have any that looked nice with that wreath. so the b&w stripes are temporary. oh, and that mess of hot glue on the left is also temporary. {i didn't realize how not photo-ready that wreath was until i already photographed it. and i'm not doing it again, so you can just deal with it. haha

pretty rolled felt flowers


i couldn't decide between the deep red and the blue flowers. but i went with blue for contrast, since my front door is already a deep red color. and now i'm thinking it should have used deep red. sigh. indecision will be the death of me.
