Christmas decorations, Christmas wreath, hydrangea, in a vase on Monday

Cathy does an amazing job hosting the IAVOM. Every week she manages to find something to share with us. Well there is snow on the ground here and the challenge seems almost impossible, yet….

This is my wreath I made for my boss using hydrangeas I grow in her garden.

I picked some of the flowers in November while they still had some colour and hung them to dry in her greenhouse.

I wrapped a florists metal ring in moss and then greenery followed by the flower heads. I wired each stem to enable them to be secured.

A few small white and silver baubles were added and a silver ribbon to finish off.

So a little variation from the true IAVOM but faffing with flowers was involved. I hope you like it. Now do take a look at the other contributors on Cathy’s blog.

Have a good week and be careful out there on the ice.

Christmas, Christmas wreath, hydrangea, Thank goodness it's Friday, wreath making

December is here and in readiness for Christmas I have today made a wreath with hydrangea heads snipped from the garden. These have been hung to dry over the last few weeks in preparation.

Based on a metal ring padded with moss and a covering of greenery, the flowers have been wired and secured in place.

A bit of silver ribbon and a few, silver and white small baubles, job done.

Hung up and ready for Christmas.
