Christmas, Remembered

I took down the Christmas tree yesterday and instead of tossing the rose hips and fox tail grass that decorated it, I made them into this wreath along with a few of the salted pine cones and some dried tansy.


The result is a wreath that, at least to me, looks more wintry than Christmas and so I can hang it on the living room wall until it is time to switch it out for something that says spring instead of winter.

    Thank you, Sunshine and Rain! I had fun making it. :)

    Trina, one summer I made a bunch of weaths for the Mann's. I had almost forgotten about that.

    Thank you, Mary. Except for the tansy, which I grow in my herb garden, the materials were all collected from around our property a few weeks before Christmas.

    Hi Kateri, Crafty, beautiful, sensible, and truly lovely! What's not to like? Another plus is that you now have a photograph of this tremendous piece to love even when it has fallen apart. Have a great Wednesday tomorrow!
