Like New

Feeling much better today - it's amazing what a good night's sleep can do for the soul.

When we made our big move south, my beloved Christmas wreath was pretty much destroyed. Note to self : things with a styrofoam base need crazy amounts of protection in storage.

I couldn't bring myself to throw it away...so I hung on to it hoping for a solution to come to me. And what do you know, one did! I simply wound up the hanging pieces of yarn, taped the broken pieces together with packing tape, and wound new yarn over the packing tape to hide the fix.

It looked so great - I couldn't resist putting it up with my new garland. A little early, but it can double as fall-ish too, right?

fixed wreath - hurray!
