Spider Bats – New wreath design Fall 2024

I was recently inspired to create a new Halloween wreath featuring bats, of course. But, I also wanted to add a spider and let hm take center stage. Spiders are often a theme in Halloween decorations. But, my spider was inspired by actual events – really! Recently, my significant other witnessed a mud dauber flying along, carrying a globe spider. We call them globe spiders, but I think they are actually named orb weavers. Anyway, mud daubers paralyze spiders and whisk them away to their mud houses and stuff them inside. A terrible fate for the poor little spider. So, I thought I’d give my little spider a nice day, scoring a sweet treat!

I’m really happy with the way this wreath turned out and is already inspiring ideas for future wreaths!

The base of this wreath is a lovely biodegradable 18″ straw wreath. It’s good to repurpose when possible, so the bats and spider are cut from old black jeans. After cutting them out, I like to distress my critters a bit too, I just like the effect it produces. The bats are glued to the straw base in random fashion and Mr. Spider dangles inside the wreath holding a piece of candy corn. Spider in constructed from denim and has a painted face. His legs are made from painted fabric wire and his candy is painted felt. Because he swings a bit and may get turned around, I finish his back with black denim so he looks cute from behind as well!

If you are interested in having this wreath made, please contact me for availability.

Vegetable Garden Markers

Now that Spring is here, my garden is giving me lots of inspiration. I painted these river rocks with all sorts of different veggies, (and fruits). Lots, are vegetables that I actually plan to plant. Some, I just made because I couldn’t stop! I’ll put them in front of my little seedlings to remind me just what the heck I put in the ground. These were so much fun to make, I’d like to make some for my perennial flowers too!

New: Easter Bunny Wreath

Easter Bunny Wreath is a new design I finished today. I don’t make too many Easter wreaths, but I think my heavenly-smelling hyacinth that just started blooming inspired me. I used some really pretty Springy fabric & wrapped an 18″ wreath in it.

I’m offering this one locally, because I don’t stock boxes for such a large wreath. I’d have to make one, which is very time-consuming! If you like this wreath and are not local, I can make a smaller one. I only have a tiny amount of this fabric, so don’t wait. If you want the large one, I will make a shipping box if I know I have a buyer.
