Stripes over plaid was completely inspired by this pin. I wish my plaid shirt was peeking out more, but otherwise, I love this layering! I had a date with my friend Brooke to make some wreaths for Christmas, so I had to pose by her gorgeous Christmas tree!
Wreath-making was a blast. We were missing Anne, so we set up the iPad and Skyped her in for the evening. It was awesome.
I was hoping to make something similar to this, but I had to make a few adjustments. I had a bunch of leftover twine from when I made this, so decided to use that instead of yarn. Then I couldn't find any fake holly berry at the store, so I grabbed this giant poinsettia, and abandoned the felt flowers, too. When I got started, about 1/4 of the way around my wreath, I realized I would not have enough twine. Brooke offered to loan me some sparkly red yarn, and I decided to do approximate quarters. She also loaned me some holly berry sprigs, which I think helped pull it all together. While I was in process, I was pretty worried, but I think it turned out well.
