Maisonvogue's New Door Wreath taking us through to Springtime !!
As it is most January's it's very quiet at Maisonvogue
We have had typical Alabama weather
Two weekends ago we had an Ice Storm
That kept us in for 4 days
The back deck and front porch along with the driveway was just solid ice
About 3" of it and the temperature at 15f (-10c)...
Marooning us inside our lovely warm home
No work for Danny
Then this weekend along with the coming week we are in the 70's f (20's c) !!!
Summer clothes and no coat or heating
Only in Alabama
Some lovely green moss from the garden
Ironing it in place
Then wound it up tightly over and over again in to a rosette
I then sewed it by hand to secure it
I made a rough shabby bow out of burlap..
that I pulled out threads to make it a fringe
I reused the vine wreath from my Christmas wreath
and placed everything in a pleasing arrangement
Then mostly hot glued it all in place
In all of it's glory
And it will make me smile every time
I see it
Till I change it in the Spring time
With lots of pretty pastel colors
And that your weather is being kind
I don't usually make New Year Resolutions
But this year I did
I intend to enjoy myself more
And not live my life just with my health problems
But grasp the good things I have in life
Go and do more and laugh more
My Physiotherapy
Is helping me a lot
And I am getting stronger
Every day
So 2017 is going to be a good year for me
I have a bright outlook
I hope that 2017 is good to all of you
Best Wishes
Janet
