Vintage on line

I am going to have a party, so I have been
cleaning...which means I keep coming across
things to distract me and make me want to
do everything else BUT clean! :)
It really isn't too hard to distract me...any
little thing will do it...an episode of "Wings"
that I have seen 30 times...a kittie's
tummy that needs a snuggle...a magazine
I have looked at before...oh, yah...
that Styrofoam circle that I forgot I had...
I had this idea a long...maybe years ago...
just never got around to it. But, this day,
it was kismet, all the elements I needed
were actually at hand! So, like the trooper
that I am, I stopped that cleaning, cold!
And got to work on my crafty idea.



I wrapped the "wreath" in tulle ( a bit of "truth
in advertising" here; the cream tulle that is pictured
was wrested from me and absconded by something
small and hairy...and ended up bitten an tattered!
So, I had to go with the pink tulle.)





Then I added jewel....



After jewel...
After jewel....




Until I finally had it!





The tulle-y wreath of jewel-y goodness!

I think Santa will enjoy this when he comes
down the chimney!!!!!
(and, yes, the buckle on the right side
is too clunky and has been removed!)
