Wondering what I've been up to since my last post?
I've been working on this wreath.
...No, seriously.
Yup, that wreath!
(Which will otherwise be known as the wreath that isn't coming off my door until after Valentine's Day!)
Each felt rose was made using this tutorial from Amy at Positively Splendid. It's made up of about 10 individually cut petals plus a rolled centerpiece.This wreath has 82 roses on it.
Let's do the math, shall we!
82 roses x 11 petals each = 902 hand cut felt pieces
902 hand cut piece + 58 glue sticks + 1 exhausted glue gun + 1 crazy lady = 1 very beautiful Christmas rose wreath
My favorite part about this wreath is the bow!

Not just because my bow-making skills are improving but I also glued an alligator clip onto the back of it. After Christmas is over (and probably after the Ducks play in the Rose Bowl!), I'll change out the bow to maybe blue or white or silver.
Because seriously, this wreath isn't coming off my front door for a looooooooong time.
P.S. After all the work I've done, I think my Ducks better win the Rose Bowl. I mean, don't you think I deserve it? Go Ducks!!!
