Wreath update- winter blues!!

I might have been feeling under the weather for the past few days weeks, but I have still been trying to do small projects to feed my creative hunger. After barely having much of a voice on Sunday, I decided to call it for Monday and call off work. I rarely go to the doctor for anything other than your routine appointments, so this is kind of a big deal. I was just really worried that it was something more than just a cold. Turns out, I am just SUPER congested and thanks to our dear friend, post nasal drip, I am experiencing the cough and annoying voice issues. I was directed to take an allergy-D medication and some prescription nasal spray. So here's to hoping!!! Anyway- onto the fun.

I know my Christmas wreath was a HUGE hit out here in blog-land so I think I will continue to share as I endlessly update my wreath by the season. The burlap wreath seen at Christmas in Welcoming the Holidays, if you will remember, looked like this.

Well today I will remind you how stinking versatile this wreath really is and show you my little dreary winter pop of color to fight those winter BLAHS!!

I have "real" pictures as well as one from instagram that I will share with you.

First, the instagrammed one because, lets be real, the effects are just stinkin fun.

Of course, I didn't do any step-by-step pictures. Honestly, I didn't even know what the heck my plan was or what my end product REALLY was going to look like. I knew I was replacing the Christmas-themed ribbon and decor seen above. You see, I bought this tree-branch looking dotted ribbon when Michael's had it 70% off for ONE DAY only (like a million different times) and just knew I would be using it on my wreath. So that I did. I made my haphazard professional quality bow and attached it with floral wire. I then had this pretty blue ribbon that matched so perfectly which I kind of wove in and out of the wire rungs or the wreath form similarly to when I initially made the wreath. This was kind of a random thing as well and I really didn't have a rhyme or reason (other than somewhat evenly spread apart) to how I did this blue ribbon. After it was all done, I added the little blue bow on top of the other one because I felt it needed a little extra POP.

As promised, a few "real" pictures of the wreath as well. You can see the true colors on the main ribbon a little better in this one. (sadly, this picture isn't too super great really either thanks to not enough daylight in the day, but you get the point.)

And a nice little up-closer of the bow- isn't she purttty?? I just couldn't pass up all the pretty colors.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!
