Roll It and Roll It and Put it on a Wreath

I love milestones.  Do you?  This is my 13th Blog for the year 2013.  LOL.

In my last post I shared 
Through the 4th Floor Door
Happy 2013!

The burlap wreath was so much fun making that I decided to tackle a 
HUGE WREATH as my next project.


It was a long and tedious project I tell ya.

I was rolling and rolling flowers..........not only the huge wreath
but also a Valentine's wreath because my goodness January is already whizzing by.


And if that wasn't enough to keep me busy I was also working on a frame I wanted to cover with
book page flowers.


Roll it and Roll it.



and hot glue it to a wreath




Corduroy - thin yarn - thick yarn - jute - felt - twine




I used all kinds of material in neutral colors to get this wreath done.




I absolutely love how it turned out.




It went perfect over the Master Bed.




I'm still working on the paper roses for the hen picture.  It takes a couple hundred of those roses to cover the frame.




Hmmm........did I share my paper chandelier that I made for the Master Bedroom?


Oh dear.  I never did.  Well this paper chandelier was made with scratch paper (from my work).  Instead of it going into the recycle bin..........I collected the paper and made this chandelier.






I can't wait to decorate
The 4th Floor Door
for Valentine's.  





That's it for now.  Until next time - I share with you what I found being tossed.

Woo Hoo I can't wait to do a makeover.
Hugs to All

    1. Hi Patti - Yes indeed. The time it took to do the crocheted flowers was the most tedious of them all. I just took a peek at the wreath you did. Oh boy that is a beauty. Now I'm going back to your blog to read more.

  3. Hi Sherry - thank you so much for your comment. You wouldn't believe how much flowers were flops before I was able to get them right. Especially the fabric flowers. I love your party :).
