Maisonvogue's New Door Wreath taking us through to Springtime !!

Picture
Happy New Year to you all 

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 
Picture
So whilst we were shut indoors I made a new wreath for the front door ...that will take us to Spring Time 
Picture
I had a little wooden bird house that I paid $1 for at Michaels Craft Store and I then sprayed it Robin Egg Blue

I added 'faux' greenery also purchased at Michaels Crafts ...ivy, ferns, ice blue flower blossoms and two lovely Magnolia flowers
​Some lovely green moss from the garden 
Picture
I cut a wide strip of fabric from my vast selection of fabrics and folded it in half ...
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


Picture
And here it is ....
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

I hope you are enjoying January 
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
