After twisting and turning and hurting fingers, we managed to create some lovely grapevine wreaths.
After forming the vine in a circle and fastening it together, it
was time for the best part. I added some lace, a little
pink bird and a bird's nest...
And here's the finished wreath...
Pink flowers, lace rosettes and a pink bird....
I'm anxious to see how Peggie decorated hers. Maybe she will let me show you.
While I'm in a spring mood, I decided to bag up some pretty blue eggs, tie with a ribbon and put them in my booth.
I hope you are seeing signs of spring too.
So, get out there and create, make, sew, bake, redo, refinish or write something wonderful. Then share it with all of us!

How pretty, Sissie! I can't believe you made the little nest, too! Now I am on the lookout for vines! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
Vine wreaths - so many interesting possibilities. The nest was such a surprise use of vines.

Hi Sissie,
This wreath is beautiful! Love the pink bird too! I had read somewhere, that if you soak the vines in water first, they are easier to work with. Have a great week sweetie!

You did a great job creating that lovely wreath. So sweet.
Hi Sissie! I love the wreath! That is a pretty damask ribbon on it too and it looks great with the lace. I made grapevine wreaths by cutting the lengths of grapevine and sticking them inside a large garbage barrel that had water in it. The vines would soften and make a nice circle and then you could take it out and tie it up. But that was a long time ago, and now I just go buy them!! Good for you and Peggy to go into the brush and cut out your own grapevines.
You create the most beautiful things! I love the wreath and the eggs are just dreamy!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
I love the pretty touches you gave your wreath. No signs of spring here, but hopefully in a few weeks!

Lovely, Sissie! I can't believe you made your own grapevine wreath ~ good for you! Love your eggs, I was actually looking for some today while at Joann's.
I don't think I've ever seen lace on a grapevine wreath before Sissie, it's absolutely beautiful! Warm and yummy yesterday in Philly:@)
How sweet! I would love to know where you got your feathered bird. I love it!
Sissie, you wreath is absolutely beautiful... wonderful job!!!
hugs~~~ Daphne
Beautiful wreath. You are so very talented. I love how everything you do has a romantic feel and look to it. It is 30 degrees here with 20 to 30 mile an hour winds and pouring rain. Send us some of your spring time PLEASE!!! ~~Sherry~~
Very spring like!!
Sissie, that is so very pretty. My husband wrapped some vines to make me some wreaths several years ago. Of course he didn't add any pretties.
To cute, I have never seen a pink bird. I bet your fingers did hurt! Make Peggy show us hers!

Sissie, What a beautiful wreath!
All so beautiful....and so funny as well. I spent Sunday afternoon with a huge long pole removing bird nests from last season from the trees around here.....sounds easy, but definitely a challenge......
