Wreaths

Besides spending hours on the new computer set up, many frustrating, some successful, we did get our three wreaths completed by Saturday morning.

Here's mine, the prototype.

I did go easy on the embellishments, just adding a few silver sprigs, and a recycled bow from last year.

 It is now hanging by the front door along with greens stuffed in the planters.

Jill asked for lots of color and texture in the greenery and red berries. Greens we had, but I had to use artificial berries.

 Here's a close up. Everything is from our yard except those bits of blue juniper berries and that juniper with the gold pollen buds. 

 Jake said he wanted an all natural wreath. I said that's what I made for him last year. He said, no, it had that big bow on it. Now I happen to like bows.

 But I did this instead, sort of a green bow.

Here's what's left of my greens, enough to make arrangements for inside the house.

 The purchased greens.

And there's plenty more where these came from.
