    I recently made a wreath. Its not quite finished because I think I want to add another row about the rim. But I did not find the project nearly as easy or as enjoyable I as I had anticipated!

    Hi Debi,
    What a lovely wreath. I made one a couple of days ago but it's very small. Going to make a bigger one for next year, maybe this one! Your square arrived today, thank you so much. The colours are lovely and the buttons were a wonderful surprise. You should get yours very soon.
    Lots of love,
    Emma xxx xxx

    That is one cute wreath Debi. You are so inventive and clever. A smaller version would be great as an ornament. Love to look around your blog. You always have such wonderful ideas! Happy Holidays to you :)
