Valentine’s Day is around the corner and it’s the perfect excuse to sate our wreath-making obsession! We haven’t had a wreath since the holidays, so we were already itching to have another one for the house. Alberto has been wanting to do a project with some leftover sisal rope and this wreath seemed perfect to [...]
Many of you know that Alberto and I love making wreaths…and the holiday season always gives us a good excuse to make new ones for the house. We came up with the idea of using Christmas gift bows a few years back and decided to revisit them while walking through our local market and found bags full of them. They were all so shiny and colorful that we couldn’t [...]
As many of you know, last year’s Halloween wreath was featured in this month’s Woman’s Day Halloween Celebrations.

Alberto and I had wanted to make something shiny and fun for our front door Christmas wreath, like the one we did for our first Christmas together. It was made with metallic gift bows in gold, silver and copper. (We don’t have a picture of the wreath, but the matching trees that we made for [...]
My friend Regina came to me last week all excited. She saw our Burberry Spider Wreath, and she wanted to make one for herself, sans spider. After walking her through the process, she went home to try it out. Blog this! Bookmark on Delicious Recommend on Facebook share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tumblr it Tweet [...]
So on Saturday afternoon, we were relaxing with a glass of wine, when all of a sudden, horror struck! We totally forgot to decorate for Halloween…yes, we REALLY did forget to do anything! AHHHHHH!
