Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!  I am showcasing how I used my favorite wreath this year.  The Red Burlap Holly Ribbon wreath.  I used it on top of my range hood and I love how the red really adds some holiday flair to my kitchen.  Merry Christmas!

 

 

Last Minute Preparations for the Season.

For every show I like to come up with a few new wreaths.  I've had so many ideas on decorating the wreaths in the last months, and here are some of the ones I've finally gotten to.  I know the black and burlap is not necessarily Christmas colors, but I think this one gets the Christmas greeting across.  Thank you for all your comments and suggestions and I hope you enjoy them!

Silver Bells and Silver Ribbon help to decorate this black chevron burlap wreath for the season.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the poinsettia print on this ribbon sparkles.

I had to do another deer wreath.  I love these natural fiber animals and I think they go so well with the burlap.

Apple Annie's Craft Show, December 6-7

This week is my last craft show for the season at Apple Annie's Craft Show at St. Anne's in Roswell.  The show will run this Friday, December 6 through Saturday , December 7.  Here is a link to more details.  It's my first year at this show and I'm trying to incorporate all the favorite wreaths of this year's season.  Let me know what you like from this collage or from any other wreaths you've seen on my blog this season.  Thanks for your help and I hope to see you there!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Adapting some oldies.

I'll be at the St. Pius Holiday Marketplace this Saturday from 9 to 4. 2674 Johnson Road NE, Atlanta, Ga 30345. Stop by!

PolkA Dot Deco!

I have been focusing so much on my burlap wreaths, I was surprised to see how popular the deco mesh wreaths were at this last craft show.  I've been busy this week making sure I have plenty for my next 2 shows.  Here's a few of them.

Love the Polka dots!!

 This wreath may not look too special (pictures do not show the "wow" of the deco), but this wreath is lighted!  I found this wonderful mini-lights to really make this wreath "wow" in the dark.

Cardinals.

At my last craft show, a customer was talking to me about using cardinals in my wreaths.  I already had the ribbon I wanted to use, but finding the snow covered pine twig really helped me to combine it with the cardinal. I love the contrast of the reds with the burlap!

New wreaths for the new show.

I'll be at the Dunwoody Craft show this Saturday from 9-4.  Check out their website for more information here. 

 

On To the Next Show.

I had a wonderful first show at Marist and almost sold out!  Although I am thrilled to have such luck at my first show, I am really working to create more wreaths.  Here are a few new ones that I have for the next show.  

 

 

Custom Wreath

Custom wreath order.  The Customer gave me the idea on this and I really love it.  Hope you do too!

The Craft Shows begin!

Here's one last one before the first craft show on Saturday.  I will post all the shows that I will be in on my facebook page at:

 https://www.facebook.com/CreatedTwistsDecorations. Be sure to look for me this Saturday,

 October 26 at Marist for the 2013 Marist Holiday Traditions.  See the previous post for more information.  I will be at Booth C-079.  I hope to see you there!

New Front Door Wreath.

I finally got around to making a wreath for my front door. I found these great burlap leaves and they go so well with the Fall leaf burlap ribbon.

Heres a few more!

I just found this ribbon last weekend and couldn't wait to use it with my red burlap wreath and twigs. 

And just so you don't forget, I am still doing Deco!  I have been focusing on the burlap wreaths, but I love the Deco mesh for the holidays.  Check out a few of my wreaths for next week's craft show.  Enjoy!

Burlap Wreath with Snow Bird

Here's one more sneak peek for this week. This burlap wreath has two coordinating burlap bows with a snow bird peeking out.  Love using these cute birds on the Holiday wreaths.

Burlap Wreath With Red Chevron Bow

As I promised, here' another sneak peek of what I'll be offering at this month's craft show.  All of my chevron wreaths have been so popular this year, so I decided to add a little chevron to the holiday season. 

I added a large Jingle Bell and some rustic greenery.

 Here's how it shows up on a door.  Hope you like it!

Sneak Peek 1.

This is a difficult time of year for me.  I'm so excited about my new Holiday Wreaths and I want to share them, but I can't really sell them without depleting my inventory for the upcoming craft shows.  So I decided to have a sneak peek each week and maybe I can get some feedback on how people like (or don't like) my new wreaths.  Unfortunately I cannot sell these to the general public yet, but I may be able to after a few shows. Here's the first sneak peek.

 

 Burlap Wreath with the black checked plaid and bells. 

Plan to attend The Marist Holiday Traditions!

I will be a vendor there this year and hope you can make it. I haven't been posting many of my wreaths lately as I am building my inventory for the upcoming craft shows.  I will be posting some new holiday wreaths in the next few weeks that will be offered at the craft shows. Stay Tuned!
