I’m still decorating around the house using natural items and what I’ve got on hand. We live in a rural area, and there is plenty of greenery available.
I have enjoying using the preserved boxwood made last month. I don’t have to worry about it drying out. Here’s one of the wreath rings. I ran a wire through the ring and gathered the burlap fabric that is pretending to be a table runner.
My wrists are hurting from twisting and turning greenery on wreaths. In year’s past, I’ve had a wreath making party and I’ll definitely do that next year. For the wreath making party, all the greenery comes here. With my making the wreaths by myself, I have to go hunting for the greenery!
You inspire me! I climbed into CREP and cut a cedar into usable parts, assembled greens on a frame for house and also made a garland for fence. Felt great to start the season creatively.
Thank you! You inspire me! I’ve been thinking about the detergent you’re making. I’m so glad you’re doing this and going to share a couple of gallons with me. When we changed over to the wood boiler, I set my washer on “Hot” since it’s free hot water. The laundry “brew” works so much better in hot water.
