Something Different!

Hi, Everyone out there. So we here at C & D Creations decided to work on something a little different this last weekend in preparation for the up coming holidays. We have lots of Family and friends that we want to make feel special and we always do quilts so we thought we would do some grapevine wreaths. Its so much fun and not very expensive if you go out and harvest the grapevine yourself. 

We took Saturday morning and did that. Our back fence is just covered in them and an area of our trees too so we have plenty to harvest fun. Some gardening gloves and little bush trimmers, and we had enough to make two large wreaths and one small one. Now that was just from an hour of collecting. Grapevines are really good at holding onto what ever they grow on. So took some work to get them off but it was nice getting outside. Oh and that fuzzy stuff that is on the wreaths in the store is natural. I know I always thought it was fake but its on the one that we made. 

Making them was interesting, as you have to start with very long vines and wrap them into circles. I don't know how we didn't wack ourselves more than we did or occasionally each other. LOL! the vines you think your pulling on them all gentle so as not to hit your self and the motion just goes right to the end of the vine and it gets going towards you. Paying attention is important to this project. 

Once we got them made we had to decorate them. We never done this before so off to Pintrest we were for inspiration. We found plenty there and got to work decorating.  I burned myself with the hot glue gun. Hot glue sure can get you if your not super careful. I thought I was being careful but not enough apparently says my finger in which i burned. Not to bad By today its all better.  Well we the decorating done with a bunch of ribbon and some flowers and and a Bowdabra.

And Today i started another new project of just taking some junky old frames and making them new and sleek looking.  Hopefully it will turn out good.  

We will be getting back into the sewing room soon.  Just needed a break.

Call us if you need any quilting done, Christmas is right around the corner.
