Hey there! Jacie here! Mom came into town on Wednesday of this week and we were looking online showing each other cute things we had found on different websites since we had last seen one another. We came across a cute wreath and we started thinking..."we probably need to make a wreath...!" So, we ventured out to none other than: Hobbity Lobbity, as we call it, to find some inspiration. We ended up running into a friendly girl who had a GREAT picture of a fun ribbon/fabric wreath! She let us have her extra copy, how nice! So, we decided our wreath needed a theme...didn't take long to come up with LSU TIGERS!!!
So, we started rummaging through discount fabrics and ribbons. We picked out quite a few, went home, and got started!
We cut some fabric late Wednesday night...but the real work began on Thursday morning. But First...every good project starts with:
Ahhhh. Much better! Mom was the "cutter" for a while and I was the "tie-er". We cut the fabric and ribbon into 15" pieces and tied them around the wreath frame.
This small project of ours, of course, took longer than we thought and OF COURSE we bought WAY more fabric and ribbon than we needed. So...we made two! I knew Mom couldn't go home without having a matching LSU wreath!! Look how cute:
After project one was completed...I had bought some extra supplies while we were at Michael's and re-covered 3 picture frames that I have had for years. This is how it started out and finished:
I was quite pleased with our LSU projects! You cannot have too many LSU projects! :)
And...we even had time to cook Enchiladas, Cornbread, and a Blueberry Coffee Cake for in the Morning. Whew. What a day!
Great visit with Mom! I guess it is time to clean all the fabric threads off the floor now...but I can stare at my wreath while doing it!!!!
Love,
Jacie
