I finally have had the time and space to be domestic. This was my first attempt at a wreath from clippings from our holly bushes. I got a wreath from the dollar section at target and thought that it would be perfect for gifts for my sisters for Christmas. Unfortunately, the wreath was short lived, about two weeks before it turns completely brown. And it took more leaves than anticipated. I ended up adding more foliage to the top and binding the stray leaves down a little better. If I feel domestic again before Christmas, I may make another wreath like it, but M. demands a lot of attention at this age. I made this wreath outside while she painted on the driveway, it ended up being a very messy morning. Needless to say, that idea is out the window for Christmas gifts for the sisters! However, it was fun and it only cost a dollar! Not bad for my first try, huh?
