I love the decorations above the bathroom door! I have never seen that before. I am only in my 3rd year of Christmas in my own house so seeing all of these ideas are great!

Triss - that is just gorgeous!!! You do such nice work! Are the different pieces stuffed? How large is it, and how long does it take you to make one? Too bad I don't celebrate Christmas!
Christina - it looks beautiful on your wonderful wooden door!

I hope everyone doesn't mind me moving this to the Home for the Hoidays section....it just seems like it would be better there.
I love the wreath Triss made you Christina!
And Rita, your tree is great!

Lynne, would you put up a wreath at all during this time of year? I am sure I could find Chanukah material just not sure it would be appropriate???
Rita, your tree is beautiful!!!

Interesting question, Triss - one I've actually struggled with before, because I have seen so many beautiful and wonderful wreaths made of many different materials for different seasons, but it still comes back to me that I should not display a wreath.
Thanks for thinking of me, though!

Hmmmm, I may have to figure out how to do a heart one of these days then.
I can totally understand not wanting to put any kind of wreath up and that is why I asked before just jumping in to look and see if I could find material or anything like that.

hmmmmm - Triss - do you think a 6 pointed star would be very difficult? I do put a decorative flag with a menorah on it, on my front maple tree for the 8 nights. That, and an electric menorah in the window are pretty much all.

I dunno Lynne. I could play with it and see what I could come up with. If I could do 2 of the strips and make 2 triangles and connect them somehow. It may work. Hmmmmm, the wheels are turning.

Really - I don't want you to go to any trouble - you have your hands full there. I probably shouldn't have written anything - I'm on borrowed time here waiting for Brian to call and tell me he landed. He was flying back home from Arkansas tonight.
Just curious - I had asked you above - do you stuff the pieces? They look rounded. Also... how long does a wreath usually take you? You really do a nice job.

Oh I am sorry, I did not answer you. I take a strip of fabric I guess abotu 3 inches wide and sew it together, then turn it right side out and stuff it with fiberfill. Connect 3 of them together and braid them and then sew up the 2nd side and connect in a circle.
I made a lot of this stuff several years ago, all of the sewed up pieces. They have been sitting in storage waiting for me to want to make more. If I were to start from scratch, one would probably take about an hour or 2.
As for trying out one for you, I would be waiting until after the holidays cuz of all I do have on my plate, just putting it on my list.

Ah - I get it - I did think it was stuffed with fiberfill - I just love the way it looks! I think I would get frustrated stuffing the tubes - do you have an easy method for doing that?
I'm thinking of sewing some door draft-blockers, but I think they stuff those with rice? I had made some neck warmers a few years ago - you stuff them with rice and they are then microwaved for a very short time to warm them up. Never did make one for myself to try it out though!
Ok - I spoke with Brian, so now I'm headed to bed. Sorry if I hijacked this topic people!

I use a dowel and stuff down to the middle first, fill 1/2 then the other. I know after doing them this week why I stopped, it hurts my hands to stuff and sew sop many at one time.
I have seen door blocers with rice or beans and then stuffing on the tops so they are not quite so heavy, but enough to keep them against the doors.
Nite Lynne, sleep well.

Lynne, I sew the end up by hand and then connect them by hand as well. I did the strips by machine.
