At any rate, I just finished two new decorations for Halloween.
Here my new wreath with too many sequins to count, but let me tell you a little story behind this wreath...I started it two years ago. When I first received the kit, the directions were missing from the kit I ordered online so I contacted the company and they vowed to send them to me.
They did indeed send them, but the directions they sent were not the directions for the same kit I ordered.
So another contact to the company and FINALLY...I received the correct directions.
Panic set in...I was able to tape the directions together, but I decided to put the kit away which I sometimes do when I get frustrated with the item I am working on.
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed the unfinished kit in my craft room and decided it was time to get serious and finish it. I got my wreath finished in time for this year's decorations.
Here is the finished wreath hanging on my cellar door and it is now hanging on a hook above the fireplace mantle from my beloved grandmother's home.
I always loved being at my grandmother's house when I was growing up. The ornate mantle is like having a piece of my childhood in my home now.
Sadly, my Dolly passed away a week ago today; I miss her dearly! She was always there with me and I loved her even though she did have a habit of eating paper...
Anyway, over the weekend I finished a new throw pillow to go with an afghan I purchased several years ago...
Now all my witches, scarecrows and pumpkins are decorating my house inside and outside.
I am ready for the Fall! Bring it on...
