Homemade Last Name Wreath

You know that feeling when you have about a million things to do and not of those things sound like fun? I do. I have the boys birthday party coming up this weekend that I could be getting things ready for and even though I have planed... and planned... and planned... nothing I wanted to do sounded like a whole heap of fun.

so.... My distraction for the afternoon......

 

I have been wanting to make something like this but I'm not as crafty as I would like to be.

Its just a basic wreath which I added a burlap bow that I made out of burlap and some twine and attached some wooden letters to spell out our last name. I added a few little "primitive" berries/stars around where I thought it looked good and it was done. took me about 20 minutes and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

 

I adore all things fall and this reminds me of fall.  I think its the burlap. I love burlap things. It has felt like fall the last few days even though it is August. there is a briskness to the air. (maybe I'm just already craving fall)
