Why should wreaths be only for Christmas and Funerals!!!! My sisters love the paper one but I love the black jersey and rose one.....I am practising with lots of flower designs and then hope to have a wee stall at Craignish Hall's Christmas Fair! Most of this week has been spent painting our bathroom, but my crafty fingers are itching for the glue gun!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

We have a busy day ahead as we hope to complete the decorating in the bathroom. My boy has been a great help, painting the ceiling and the 'dragonfly' on the walls looks better now the first coat is dry after our initial doubts!</span><br />

It is very delicate and has, unfortunately fallen down a couple of times, but i have learned from the experience and have perfected the creation of these beautiful hangings. I love making them, I must admit. This isn't the best photograph, in fact, it's pretty rubbish...but I will get Katie, my daughter and resident photographer (!) to take more pictures.Momma J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10912933549796168540noreply@blogger.com0
