Halloween Wreath


My mother is one of the craftiest, most talented people I know. She can literally make anything you ask her to. Sewing, carving, painting, gluing... She's created some absolutely incredible things.

So this Halloween season, she made us this beautiful wreath. Martha Stewart was her inspiration apparently.

She glued and wired tiny pumpkins and moss to the frame. My Dad wanted to be sure we knew he had been the one to decide the placement of, and then glued on, the spiders. Cyanne really enjoys looking at the wreath and points at the spiders.

We also have our pumpkins on the front porch. One that Tom nursed and grew himself, the crooked one with personality in the background, and then the four from the pumpkin patch (see previous post).

Ah, fall is here.

Max examines the wreath more closely. No, Max, you may not eat those spiders...

Wow, that is really impressive! Do you guys expect to get any trick-or-treaters where you are? It'd be a shame not to have people come by to admire that!

I LOVE that wreath! I'm going to have to try to recreate it. We don't get any trick-or-treaters here, but at least we can enjoy it!

Your mother is SO talented, Kristen! Cyanne and her little sister are really lucky to have such creativity in their genes!! (Hope I've finally been successful in learning how to comment on the blog..)
