Good Monday morning ! I had such an exciting weekend , I can't wait to tell you about it !
But first I made this wreath last week...I wanted to make a burlap wreath and use some of the black /white check burlap ribbon in it. I went to Hobby Lobby and they have decomesh that looks like burlap, so fun ! So that made the choice easy !
This time I used a straw wreath for the base , I left the plastic on since it will be outside.
Don't you love that black/ white check burlap ribbon ? I sure do !
I gathered the decomesh and used florist pins to secure the mesh to the wreath , then added a blop of hot glue over each pin for security .
This is the wreath with just the mesh and burlap ribbon
I added daisies that I cut down the stems to about 4 inches and glued them in.
Here it is on the front door..I am going to make a pillow for the chair that sits on the porch in black and white this week.. Haven't decided how , but I think I might try painting black and white checks, or do a little subway art in black and white!
Ok, now for our exciting weekend .. We drove down to Kentucky for the Spring blue and white game.. Our son is a walk on freshman Kicker/punter.. He told us he was dressing but wasn't sure if he would play ..
He got to kick 3 extra points ( made them ) 2 field goals ( made one , went wide right on the other ) and punted once.. His team won 24-23 ...
Seeing him up there on the huge scoreboard ...AMAZING ! He is # 90 in the back waiting to kick
It was so exciting for all of us .. The stadium was packed ! They had over 50,000 people there !!!
Thanks so much for stopping by ! Hope you all have a great week !
As always thank you so much for your nice comments !

Hi Priscilla, this is my first visit and I am glad I stopped by. The burlap deco mesh is like the 452nd reason why I wish we had a Hobby Lobby here in VA! Loved your wreath!

OMG!! I LOVE this wreath!! I just bought the burlap looking deco mesh ribbon size in A.C. Moore for $5.00 a roll!! Can't wait to play with it .
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is to die for!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Priscilla, I really like the combination in the wreath. Very interesting affect. I can only imagine the excitement you must have experienced seeing your son on that field, but especially on that huge screen. Our grandson has been given a scholarship to Western Michigan for 2013 and we can't wait to see him suit up and hit the field. We will definitely be making the trip from Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteHi Priscilla. Just popping back to let you know that I will be featuring you today at Share Your Cup. Party will start early. Sometime before noon today.
