I hate daylight savings time, but I love spring. Instead of dwelling on that lost hour of precious sleep, this weekend we craftilly celebrated spring.
Inspired by this tutorial, Sabrina and I pilfered paint chips at Home Depot and bought a wreath form at Hobby Lobby.
During nap time I did the more detailed work of cutting out the paint chips. -I went with dragonflies after I accidentally cut off a butterfly wing.
We wrapped the wreath form with left over quilt batting and pinned it into place.
Then Sabrina decided where the dragonflies would land and I pinned those too.
Then I think she channeled her inner cat because she decided to sit on the wreath.
We hung it on the (newly painted) front door on a ribbon. Hung and re-hung and re-hung, Sabrina needed it very low so she could admire her handywork.
I know it is a bit early, but we are ready for spring! Are you?
