Faux Hydrangea Wreath with a Twist


Greetings snow bunnies and non-snow bound bloggerettes! I am so ready for spring, aren't you?! The weather here in the SF peninsula has been amazing around 75 degrees. Poifect California weather! See, this is the reason we put up with the earthquakes, insane state politics and high prices ha!

I'm sure you seen faux hydrangea wreath all around the web. I thought I'd make one...with a little twist of my own...



My twist, adding some bling to the centers

doesn't show up too well in the photos, but each center has a color matching rhinestone.

I first wrapped a 10" styrofoam wreath with purple satin ribbon (here is a view of the back)


filled it with faux hydrangea blossoms, added the rhinestones, and used a sheer puple ribbon for hanging. Love it!


It now hangs in my beautiful niece's (Tween Heart's mommy) home.

I have a few more bunches, but want to mix some flowers in for something different.





Before I get to doing that, I've been laboring over another project. One that I'm beginning to regret having started. Here is a little teaser



That is only half of what I need *sigh*

Just another labor intensive project....did I mention it is very labor intensive? lol!

I'll post the finished wreath if when it's finished. ha!

Thanks so much for stopping by! It is always so lovely to read your comments!

My living room...work in progress!

Hello dearests!
I have showed you my kitchen so far,
now it's time to have a look at the
living room!

Salve carissime!
Vi ho mostrato a che punto sono con la mia cucina
ora è giunto il momento di
 mostrarvi anche il salotto!

I still have to do a looooot of things,
but I want to show you
something.

Devo ancora fare un sacchissimo di cose
ma vi faccio vedere a che
punto sono ora.





This is the relax zone
with the two sofas in front of the fireplace.

Questa è la zona relax
con i due divani posti di fronte al camino.





I want to paint the waal behind the TV
with a soft cream, just like

or



Voglio dipingere la parete dietro la TV
con un crema soft, mi piacciono:


Of course there are a lot of paintings and photos
missing on the walls.
Me and Max need an entire Saturday free
to use Mr.Black&Decker
and fix this problem.
Again it's a problem of time...
But we will sort it out!

Naturalmente ci sono un sacco di
foto e dipinti da appendere alle parti.
Io e Max abbiamo bisogno
di un intero sabato libero
per usare il sig. Black&Decker
e risolvere la situazione.
E' sempre un problema di tempo...
ma ce la faremo!



Behind the 3-seat-sofa
there's the bookcase with my
but it's not finished yet,
so I will show it next time.
And behind the 2-seat-sofa,
there's the dining area...
well...
let's say that it is supposed
to be the dining area,
'cause we haven't buy
the table and the sideboard yet!!!

Dietro al divano a tre posti
c'è la libreria con il mio
angolo computer,
ma non è ancora finita
e ve la mostrerò più avanti.
E dietro al divano a due posti
c'è la zona pranzo.
Bhè...
diciamo che ci dovrebbe essere,
perchè al momento
 non abbiamo ancora comprato il
tavolo e la credenza!!!!

I don't know which sideboard to buy,
I like the Liatorp one by Ikea...

Non so quale credenza comprare,
mi piace la Liatopr dell'Ikea...




By the way, have you ever seen this one?
There's not in Italy,
but I think it's fab!!!!
Ehi Mrs. Ikea??? Have you heard me???
Please, please, bring this model to Italy!!!

A proposito, avete visto questo modello?
Non c'è in Italia,
ma io penso sia favoloso!!!
Ehi Sig.ra Ikea?? Mi hai sentito??
Per piacere, per piacere, porta
questo modello in Italia!!!




Or I also like this one by Maisons du Monde...

Oppure questa della Maisons du Monde...



I will decide soon....
I can live without a sideboard!!!

Deciderò in fretta...
non posso vivere senza una credenza!

By the way...
on Saturday I will buy my new camera,
can't wait!!!!!

A proposito...
sabato comprerò la mia nuova
macchina fotografica,
non vedo l'ora!!!!
