Easter Wreath

I've been seeing all kinds of beautiful wreaths made with deco mesh lately and I wanted to try it out. I had a piece wrapped around the handle of a big Easter basket photo prop from last year, so I grabbed it and tried my best to make a poufy adorable wreath.

Only I didn't. No matter how I tried to wrap the mesh, I could not make the pouf. So I did something else instead.

....And I think it's adorable. I used a wire wreath form I already had on hand, and just wrapped the mesh around it. Then glued some little eggs to the side and made a bow and tails and a place to hang it. I think it's perfect on my side door.

Mac Monday #2

This past week, we have spent almost all of our free time outdoors. Cleaning off the side and front porches, mowing the lawn, weeding the driveway, painting furniture and terra cotta pots. It has been a fruitful and time consuming few days. As much as Mac loves going outside there is no way I could leave him in during all this, watching as we painted and pulled and mowed.

This past weekend, it has been cold and rainy and we have not been very keen on spending much time outdoors. So, any time either of us go within several feet of the door there is lots of frantic barking and whining. Heaven forbid you leave the door open for light, because then you have to answer to this face:
We cannot wait for more sunshine.
