I love that

I made it but it’s way out my comfort zone but I love it
Confession time it took me 10 mins it’s a basic cheap as chips evergreen wreath 3 ball garlands bought a couple of years ago in Michaels January sale and a bit of floral wire
To tie them in
So honestly anyone can do an individual wreath you really can and it’s doesn’t need to take ages and the bald spots have noe been filled in a spot of hot glue and the baubles that were a bit loose on the ball garlands glued in
Total cost $20 as everything was purchases in the sales
You just need to think your theme / colour palette for the next year and shop the sales
I’ve woven timed lights in to it and it’s lovely lit up even though I say it my self

You lot are useless at keeping me in check
I nipped to Walmart for milk and wine and wandered through the Christmas section and I picked up some beautiful black and copper toned ornaments think leopard print tones DS3 friends are getting married next October they want a black / cooper / animal print theme so I’ve started picking up bits that was legitimate shoping
But the navy blue , velvet ribbon was not but I could not resist when it was in with the black and copper ribbon

Well, you lovely lot have encouraged me to get crafting again

I am currently cross stitching the individual letters in the word "Merry Christmas". Each letter is going in a 3" embroidery hoop and when finished will be attached to a garland I made several years ago that goes on my fireplace.

I've only done the M and C at the moment, but we're getting there.

ETA: Here's what I have done so far

Thank you

I'm doing the rest of the letters in the same style but without the ears, hands and feet as I think it will be a bit too much with them all like that.
