New Ideas

Great Ideas From My Friends

Good Evening,

I just received my shipment of Paisley Handkerchiefs. I special ordered for a 4 of July wreath my friend has asked me to make. They are cute and totally different than what I have been doing, Oh but I like a challenge. Well since she has shown me the pic or should I say a couple people have. I have done some research and found several ways to make them. I'm not real sure where the original photo came from but I have now seen them all over the web and in my local Joann's store.  I will be making a few of them tomorrow.

I have received several more ideas. The very first one was a snowman wreath. I had seen them on the web too. They have been made all different ways. After some hesitation I made one of my own. I really didn't care too much about working with the plastic mesh. It is very scratchy and was hard to get it the size I desired. When making it I was also worried it wouldn't fit between door and screen door. Several customers have also voiced their concern.  This was my result. And let me mention after all the postings on the net, It was nearly impossible to find the white mesh.

Now here was my newest wreath request I had received. I loved the tulips, they are put onto a grapevine wreath. I really did have a very hard time making it, but keep in mind it was my first one.  After I made it I hadn't taken into

consideration on the size of it. It was kind of big to fit between the two doors. Let alone she didn't quite get the affect she wanted. The colors didn't show up as well behind the screen. I'm going to change it up so it's not quite as bulky. 

When I took this order I keep running into the same problems It seems everyone has the same Idea. I had to hunt down those tulips. I'm so glad I decided to make it on my scrap booking trip. I stopped at every store possible on my way up. The most I had found at one store was 6 bushes! But by the time I was done I had enough for 2 of them. After I got back home I found some online and plan on making a few more.

As you can tell I don't mind special orders. I enjoy the new challenges they bring. If anyone else have any great ideas I would appreciate them.

Good bye for now I'll be back soon
