This past weekend we had one massive snowstorm around this area and pretty much all I’ve done for the last several days is cook everyone’s favorite dish, watch the news that is reporting on how this area is completely shut down and how it will take days to dig us out, and battle my cabin fever. I’ve also played with my pups in the backyard, they are having a blast…I think I will write a post in the coming days so that I can show you what a good time they’ve had. 🙂 In the meantime, here are a couple of pictures…:)
And today, I took a few minutes out to combat my cabin fever and to create a very quick Valentine’s Day wreath. This wreath literally took me an hour (at most) to make. It was easy peezy to put together and anyone could do it. 🙂
Here are the supplies I used:
- 16″ Work Wreath
- 1 Roll of 21″ x 10 yard Deco Mesh
- 1 Bolt of Wired Ribbon
- 4 Heart ornaments
- 1 Wooden Plaque
The first thing that I did was to hot glue some pipe cleaners onto the back of the wooden plaque so that I could easily tie it onto the wreath form…
Then I looped the deco mesh into the work wreath’s pipe cleaners; I worked my way around the outer ring, then the inner ring, and then I put another row around the outer ring.
I made a big bow out of the ribbon…and tied it onto one side of the wreath, and then I tied the wooden plaque on the opposite side. I hot glued the heart ornaments on and called it a day. Honestly, easy as can be. 🙂
Here is the finished wreath:
I’m not totally sure where I will hang it quite yet…It will definitely be hung outside, possibly on my light post out front…
Or I might hang it on my wagon wheels…
Productivity is a good thing, and today, I felt like I was definitely productive. 🙂 Go me! 😉
Until next time, y’all take good care! ❤

Hope you are all coping with the snow. We in England are getting the remains of the storm but heavy rain and winds not snow. Your wreath was lovely I’m going to make an Easter one today as like you I get cabin fever and my dog gets naughty if not taken out.
