Working on a new wreath!

I found a really cute wreath for valentines day on Http://www.theidearoom.net/2010/01/valentines-day-craft.html

When I tried to get a heart shaped foam wreath form, all the craft stores were all sold out. So I waited until July (ok I forgot about it until I was in the wreath aisle)... and I made it into my summer craft project! I am so excited about how it came out. It looks softer in real life, so I have to take better pictures, but here is what I have for now.

Materials
About 2 yards of remnant fabric
One bundle of fabric
A box of flat head straight pins
Heart shaped foam wreath form

I cut all the fabric into 4x4 squares, then into 3 inch circles using pinking shears. Folded each circle into quarters and pinned onto wreath. So easy. From start to finish was about 3 hours. If you use thicker fabric, it will probably be quicker.

Front Door Colors

We have to pick a color for the front door. After some googling about feng shui, I found a great list of door colors on House Beautiful . I really liked Evening Sky (BM 833). I researched further and found the meaning of a blue door . Although our door doesn't face south, north or east, I really like the thought of a blue door, especially with our stream and the blue dining room. I think the door will tie it all in together.

We finally finished shopping for fixtures!

We ordered most of our fixtures from Lightingdirect.com, but for the exterior ones, we just went down to the local Home Depot. We decided to get a lamppost outside and the post comes with an outlet (for Christmas Lights or tools) and a sensor that turns the lights on from dusk to dawn. Hampton Bay Aged Iron Post Lantern Y37031-151 The lights that will frame the front door will be the same style. I think they're so cute! We also got outdoor motion lights for the front and regular spots for the back. No pics of those, because they're your typical spot lights, nothing special. Hampton Bay Aged Iron Wall Lantern Y37029-151 We also received our shipment with the ceiling fan and the closet lights. The closet lights we got for $8 each! They have 2 bulbs so they'll give plenty of light. In order to get them so cheap, we had to be flexible on the color. They're "Copper Revival" which is actually a little more copper penny colored than...
