Holiday Wreath!!

I finally found an afternoon to create my own wreath.

I am reminded of the story about the cobbler's children who went barefoot, their father too busy creating shoes for other children.

I willingly spend my time creating for others, and our own front porch wall was empty, lacking a festive wreath ... until this weekend when I found some time to create a new one using items I have had tucked away for a couple of years.

I am very pleased with the way it turned out although I do wish I had a white light cord instead of the green one I upcycled from my stash. It will not be seen from the road.

I took my photos this morning as I left the house and must say I am inspired by the third ... it may be the start of an abstract ... but for now, it is just my front porch wreath, finally!
