The greenbird of happiness

I had intended to make a wreath to decorate my front door in time for Easter.  I finally got it done today and I'm so glad because my autumn wreath was starting to depress me and it gave me an excuse to scrub the dust off the door.  I'm not much of a flower arranging type and I'm terrible with a glue gun (got the blisters to prove it).  But it's done and it looks springy so there you go.

Here's the door before.

Here's after.  Fresh!  Although now I see my need for a new doormat.

Here's what I used.  I think I spent a total of 16.00 because I didn't have any Michael's coupons and I didn't have time to run to the Dollar Tree (love their crafty stuff), because remember,  I was going to finish it for Easter.  I had to dust off my green basket of flowers outside because it was just coated with dust but I was glad to recycle my faux hydrangeas (and whatever those purple things are supposed to be, lilacs maybe?). 

The cat kept sneaking up on the little bird and smacking it with her paw but I managed to save him and isn't he cute?  I think he'll be safe here.

That's enough crafting for now.  I'm going back to the sewing room where I don't need glue guns.  I feel much safer around scissors, needles, and steam irons sitting on wobbly ironing boards.  Whew.

It turned out cute Jona-the colors are so fresh and springy...it's always nice to venture away from the sewing machine sometimes.

Its a good thing that is not on our door because a dove would already have planted her eggs in the nest and ousted the other one off. The wreath looks great on your door and still a lot cheaper than any i can buy even with a coupon.
