Joining Carole & friends for Three Things on Thursday…
A few weeks ago, I signed up for a virtual wreath-making class with my friend Ann. The florist presenting the class is located literally across the parking lot from work — danger! danger! — I often see them outside photographing arrangements.
I picked up our "wreath kits" on Tuesday night and delivered Ann's on my way home, so we were all set for Wednesday night's gathering. There were three designs to choose from, each included a lovely fresh wreath with all the necessary trimmings & treats!
Thank goodness I started setting up early because… devices! Sheesh. Luckily, Rusty had our old laptop sitting there and I was able to get everything working. I think this will now be the default at-home Zoom device (in the Garden Room, anyway)!
I'm in the top row, second-from-left (with the phone), and Ann's right below me.
Incredibly, I was able to not only locate my glue gun, but extra glue sticks, too, on my first try! I can't remember the last time I used that thing. I had a little table to my left with all the goodies.
Of course this would have been more fun in person, but y'know, we do what we can! There were quite a few solo participants in their kitchens or dining room, but a couple of small masked groups — duos or trios — hanging in their garages. I really like that idea and will keep it in mind for future…
It's that time of year again when it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I return, so I don't have a photo of my finished wreath… the photo above is from last night at about the half-way mark. I'm off tomorrow, though, and will be figuring out how to hang it on my front door.
Kate's doing the bulk of the outside holiday decor today (temp in the mid-50s) and I can't wait to see! She picked up a whole car-load of stuff a few weeks ago and I have no idea what she has in mind. Surprise!!
I am noticing more holiday decor every time I go someplace… trees up, lights up, inflatables up… how about you?
