Yarn Wreath

The Iron Craft Challenge this week was themed 'Winter'.

Awesome, like I haven't had enough of it already.

Actually, I'm a fan of winter. I like to cuddle and hibernate and soup.

Here in Denver we have this weird extra season, somewhere between spring and winter. We get lovely sunny days for weeks in a row where plants start to wake up, but then it snows 3 feet and everything hides again. Inspired that this time for us, I created a yarn wreath I call "Winter in Spring". While the process of covering a straw wreath in yarn is exhausting, I am tickled pink with the results!!

Isn't it awesome!!

I followed the lovely tutorial posted at Take Heart. She was right! The wrapping is mucho grande time consuming! I sat on the couch and watch "Confessions of an Animal Hoarder" last night finishing up. My kitty was sitting on the other end room intently waiting for my to finish with the yarn so that she might have it all to herself. The point of this story is that watching her go between needing the yarn and needing to know where the noises of 25 parrots was coming from was the best entertainment ever!! In my life!! 

Okay, maybe The Blue Man Group was better...
