The Christmas Wreath, Free Wreath Tutorial, Why I Love Pink, and 23 days until Christmas!!

Of course, it had to be pink!  This has been the year of the pink!  This is my Christmas wreath, and it hangs on the front door welcoming our guests for the holidays.

This particular wreath took me about ten minutes to make.  Here's how I did it.

Tutorial:  I bought a preformed wire wreath that had silver bits of tinsel hanging off the wires.  These helped to secure the different parts of the wreath.

I used about 12 yards of ribbon to wrap the wreath.  I had to make two cuts in the ribbon because I didn't cut enough the first time.  I secured the ribbon on to the base with the tinsel thingies on the base.

I added flowers and picks and secured them with the tinsel thingies on the wreath.  I pulled some of the thingies out to add a bit of glitter to the wreath. 

And it was done. 

Notice how it matches my hair?

The Big Closet Clean Out

The day had arrived!  It was time for the annual closet clean out.  I had to organize the sizes, separate the summer from the fall and winter clothes, and organize my winter  and summer clothes.  When all was finished, this is what I had leftover!

I think I need new slippers.
what do you think?

Easter is so Near, and Maybe Spring, too? Rambling Thoughts! Pink

 So, I made myself this funky necklace for Easter!  I used all polymer clay components.  Handmade, of course!

Here's another view.  It does remind me of the spring we'd love to be having here in Minnesota now!  Sigh!  Soon, I hope!

And this necklace goes with my newly
PINKED
up
Hair!

I want to be ready for Easter!

And when I showed this bead off on Facebook, someone commented that it matched my hair!


YES!!!

Now, I'm really ready for Easter!
