doelightful DIY : autumn wreath

was feeling rather festive this week

and whilst bumbling about the aisles of the local craft store

i plopped a few goodies in my cart than puttered back home.

when i saw the owl all bundled in a knitted sweater

i knew he was to be the centerpiece of my festive wreath.

if you know me, you know i have quite a love affair with owls

and deer and squirrels and all things whimsical and perfect. 

armed with my trust glue gun,
and some hip-hoppity tunes on in the background,
i made a pretty.

we hung our new wall decor on the wall between the kitchen and the front room.
i see it every time i walk down the stairs.
it gives me a little autumn-lovin' pep in my step.

have you ever made a wreath before?
this was my first.
and i have to admit, i'm itching to make another!
so fun. an excellent creative outlet.
