As I mentioned a month ago, I was planning to put up my only store-bought wreath for Christmas/winter, but when I got it out, all the paint was flaking off and making an unholy mess. So I went back to my idea for harvest and simplified it.
I finished cutting out a bajillion little felt circles (it took a while, but wasn't too bad. I finished in two shifts - one during Knight and Day and one the next day during How to Tame Your Dragon. I give both a thumbs-up, btw) and used pearl-tipped sewing pins to attach them to the wreath base. I was going for a sort of minimalist elegance. I feel like I came close, but maybe it could use a little something else...?
In other news, I'm officially withdrawing my photo-editing aspirations. My blog will never be one of those blogs with incredible pictures of crafty endeavors. Hopefully removing expectations for fancy pictures will make it easier to make time to post some!

Don't worry about the pictures Kelli. I think you do a great job. :)
I think you need something silver. A flower made of silver felt (does that stuff exist?)
OH!!! I love it!! It looks wonderful! BTW wasn't Knight and Day so good!! Mr. Cruise has redeamed himself a lil with that movie. I know my hubby and every of man alive thought his part in Tropic Thunder was so awesome....but seriously.....seriously? SO, it was nice to see him back in that "romantic comedy" character.
This is such a cute idea! Glad to hear about Knight and Day...not a tom cruise fan...but I thought I might like this movie. Anyway, come link up to my Sew Crafty Party...

This is so pretty and wintery :) Thank you for sharing...I am featuring you next week at MMM!
I think your photos are great! And I love this wreath - so simple but still so elegant! And you could do so much with it - changing up the colors for different seasons or even doing shapes other than circles. Thanks for sharing this project!

Oh so chic. Simple and clean. I like it!
I love your wreath! I like the pearl topped pins. Your pics look fine to me. I have a cheap point and shoot. I'd rather spend time creating then perfecting pictures.
thanks for linking up!
