On Thursday I mentioned that Mom was going to a Christmas Wreath Work shop.
It was a held at Fairview Garden Center in Raleigh, sponsored by BB&T.
TOGM was actually very pleased with her first ever live wreath.
The nursery staff gave everyone a few tips on how to start. They had all types of
greenery cut and in bins for us to select and a wire form.
Mom loved all the shades of green and types of greenery.
For some reason Mom was they only attendee who used Magnolia leaves (there to the left of
the bow). Might just be a Southern thing but she loves the texture and shine
Yep TOGM was proud of it. It is hanging by the front door.
The bow was not included in the work shop. Mom bought it at the there though
and it was just the final touch needed.
SNEAKY SUN PUDDLE SUNDAY
I love your human's wreath - she did a great job!
ReplyDeleteMadi, I think Mom is very clever.
ReplyDeleteCan I let you into a little secret? Gail has signed up for a needle felting workshop in a week's time. It is the first time she has ever engaged in such an activity. Should I be worried?
Toodle pip!

That wreath is just gorgeous. Good job.That is one sneaky sunpuddle, Madi. You all have a wonderful Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI think those magnolia leaves are perfect... and the wreath is beautiful and I am betting it smells divine if sniffed. did she allow you to sniff it? I love the smell of Christmas tree greens. also tell mom I LOVE those chairs in the sun puddle with you
ReplyDeletehad to come back, just found this on another blog.
ReplyDeleteThe Circle is Unending, The circular shape of the wreath,
without beginning or end,
symbolizes God’s complete and unending love for us
I think your Mom did a super job on the wreath. I was tried to do that and well, we won't go there! We haven't had sun for a couple of days and it is raining this morning... we needed it! Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteThat's a super wreath....and she still has all her fingers? Impurressive.
