If You don´t have wire and wants to use string instead just tie it after every spin round the wreath.<br /><br />Have a great day and welcome back!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-39784992553947623862010-09-16T16:37:16.349+02:002010-09-16T16:37:16.349+02:00Hello Christer!

But if one makes it less fluffy there´s a risk that it looks like a funeral wreath :-) I can imagine grape vines works perfect.<br /><br />You are way behind us here when it comes to autumn :-) We´ve already had frost here several nights :-) But one of the few things I liuke about autumn is wood smoke and wool blankets :-)<br /><br />It´s strange really but they shoot around 100 000 mooses here every year, but it´s almost impossible to find moose hides. If one does it´s so expensive that You don´t buy it :-) It would have been great to have one on the bed during winter :-)<br /><br />I used to have moccassins when I was younger, but I don´t think I´ve seen any for years now. It´s a shame really because I really liked them.<br /><br />I´m glad You like my little blog :-) It+s a good thing You commented here today, because I still haven´t found all blogs I used to visit before my computer broke down.<br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-26292721653174794722010-09-12T18:57:11.009+02:002010-09-12T18:57:11.009+02:00Hi Kat!

I use string to hold the evergreen to the hanger and layer it much the same as you do. I use straight green picks to hold the decorations which then get pushed into the wreath. I find any neat dried stuff I can and add them. <br /><br />I love making wreaths, and you've given me a new way to make one.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200177056135281932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-48683614344533631492010-09-12T18:24:25.908+02:002010-09-12T18:24:25.908+02:00Hi Caryn!

Casual, spontaneous but not very secure. :-)<br />My weather is much like yours today. Cool, cloudy and a little damp but no rain yet. Some leaves are starting to show a little color but on my morning walk today I saw a magnolia in bloom.

Still, what is unknown colossal.<br />As for example: rose hips, I have used the cream because of a scar, but never seen.

I like the wreath lesson. Will have to try this one with palms as that is pretty much what we have here in Florida. My wife thinks we can find wild berries which we cannot eat and fall to the ground and make mush because of the heat. They are hard on the vine so might work. We can spray them to hold their skin and color. Also a few oranges, we have plenty of them coming in and lemons. But not the grapefruit, too big! We will try it and post a picture of it on the Cat.
