a frou-frou christmas wreath...and wishes for Jane!

I'm not decorating this year for two reasons: I just had the living room painted and I'm enjoying its pristineness (yes of course that's a word!) and we're all heading off to various places for Christmas and goodness knows what the vampire slayer would do with a tree while we weren't here :)
So a wreath on the front door will have to do...
made from these...
a wreath loaned by my friend Chris (I have one the same...we bought them at Ikea years ago...but I only have a vague idea where I've stashed mine), three feather boas from Homebase and a hot pink peacock decoration from Big W.
It did look like the great chicken massacre of 2010 had taken place on the dining table while I was in the process of putting this together though! There's something a bit perverse about a feather wreath at Christmas don't you think...probably why I like it!
But in a more traditional vein, the peace clay tags I made a week or so ago found a home on this mirror.
Sorry about the less than brilliant photos, but today, all I've been thinking about is Jane's operation...wishing, hoping, praying that it all goes brilliantly well. 
And yes indeed, there will be moon wishing going on tonight in Canberra.

  6. I love it Kerry - I am not a fan of the traditional wreath so anything other than the norm is a hit in my books :) I hope all went well for Jane today xo If I don't get in touch with you before have a very Merry Christmas and New Year filled with laughter and love and hopefully I will catch up with you in the New Year! Take care - love from us all xoxo Kim

  9. Love the wreath!

    Jane will come flying through ... everyone has her top-of-mind ... I think there are prayers and good wishes flying about all over the place in the ethos.

  13. My mother and I made a feather wreath when I was younger that I absolutely loved. We got Turkey feathers from a Turkey farm, died them white, and inserted them in a styrofoam wreath. Then we hung a huge red bow on it. It was beautiful! I wanted to make another one, but wasn't sure where to get the feathers. Your boa idea is brilliant! I love it. Cheers.

  15. I made a feather wreath like this last year, and if you thought it was great chicken massacre this year, wait until it has been stored away for a year. The vampire slayer would love it! Looks so lovely on your door.

    I too hope Jane's OK - such sobering events.

  19. Juju wreath with a touch of glam - I love it! I've been thinking of Jane too, and let's hope last night's eclipse was extra powerful for sending strength and support. Have a great day sweet, but in case you need more feathers - hands off my chooks! K xx

  21. I'm not sure exactly why but this web site is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I'll check back later
    on and see if the problem still exists.
