There once was a wreath that was bare and cold. After all it was made out of cardboard. It was Fall so it looked in the closet and found some appropriate wear. A lovely white, wool strip of fabric.
Κάποτε υπήρχε ένα στεφάνι που ήταν γυμνό και κρύωνε. Άλλωστε ήταν φτιαγμένο από χαρτόνι. Ήταν Φθινόπωρο γι 'αυτό έψαξε και βρήκε κάποια κατάλληλη ένδυση. Μια υπέροχη λευκή, μάλλινη λωρίδα υφάσματος. 
Since the weather was crisp, it felt it needed something more to keep warm. So it found some lovely fabric with earthy brown, orange and green tones.
Επειδή ο καιρός ήταν ψυχρός, ένιωσε ότι χρειαζόταν κάτι περισσότερο για να ζεσταθεί. Έτσι βρέθηκε ένα ύφασμα με γήινα καφέ, πορτοκαλί και πράσινες αποχρώσεις. 
It was warm enough, but now the wreath wanted a little bit of flair. It felt lopsided and needed balance.
Ήταν αρκετά ζεστό, αλλά τώρα το στεφάνι ήθελε κάτι παραπάνω. Ένιωσε ασύμμετρο και ήθελε ισορροπία. 
It added a little lace for beauty and some ribbons in beige and olive, the colors of nature.
Πρόσθεσε λίγη δαντέλα για ομορφιά και μερικές κορδέλες σε μπεζ και λαδί, τα χρώματα της φύσης. 
Look at this fabric. Let's add that too.
Κοίτα αυτό το ύφασμα. Ας το προσθέσουμε. 
Oh, it makes a pretty flower.
Ω, κάνει ένα όμορφο λουλούδι. 
And some texture with this straw.
Και υφή με αυτό το άχυρο. 
But wait!! Halloween is coming. Let's add a mouse to shake things up.
Αλλά περιμένετε!! Ερχεται η παραμονή των άγιων πάντων. Ας προσθέσουμε ένα ποντίκι για να ταρακουνήσει τα πράγματα. 
And a skeleton peεking out.
Και ένας σκελετός κρυφοκοιτάζει έξω. 
And the wreath is ready!
Και το στεφάνι είναι έτοιμο!

I think your wreath is adorable. You have the knack for combining textures and colors. The fabric flowers really made it but my favorite is the mouse. I have to ask, is that a cat toy?

Thanks Debra. It is a toy that my girls picked up at Ikea a few years back. Not a cat toy as it was found in the children's section.

Thanks so much for stopping by. 10/29/2015 07:30:24 am
Hahaha, Mary you're awesome! It's a little bit of all, I love how all the pieces of fabric go well together, but are different, and how you divided the sides and styles...And, I'm glad the little wreath is warm now and pretty too!

Keri you are so funny. I hate those mice too, but what else can I do I had a skeleton head and it was way to heavy to stay up on the wreath. At least the mouse is light. But not cute!! 10/29/2015 08:23:34 am
I think its perfect Mary, especially with the flower!! I liked the story as well!! :))

Thanks Kathleen. It was my intention to be all over the place with this one. I'm glad I could make you laugh. We'll see how the mouse feels about this. 10/29/2015 01:31:49 pm
It has a split personality...Halloween or Fall, depending on it's mood!
Mary
10/30/2015 07:10:17 pm
That's right Marie, a split personality. I was actually thinking of callig it the Bi-polar wreath, but it didn't sound very poetic.

That mouse Zografia is going to haunt me soon. It's mad that I gave the post a nasty name.
Mary
10/30/2015 07:12:16 pm
Thanks Pili. It's all over the place, but somehow it works. I think I got the idea of the rosette, from a video you had posted. Thanks. 10/29/2015 05:23:23 pm
Δεν ξέρω για ποια απ όλες τις γιορτές ταιριάζει. Αυτό που ξέρω είναι πως μου αρέσει με όλα αυτά που κουβαλάει πάνω του. Κάποιος μπορεί να πει πως είναι διαφορετικά και δεν δένουν μεταξύ τους ... κι όμως αυτή η διαφορετικότητα είναι που κάνει το σύνολο ξεχωριστό. Μπράβο Μαίρη μου! Ευφάνταστη κατασκευή!!!

Χριστίνα είπαμε σχιζοφρενεια!! Και ειναι και η εποχή που θέλουμε να φορτώσουμε τη διακοσμηση. Θέλουμε υπερβολές όχι μινιμαλισμό. Σε ευχαριστω για τα καλά σου λόγια.

Thanks Audra. Mission accomplished. A little humor with the Halloween candy.

Yes, Kathy that little rodent seems to be growing on me. I had a skull I wanted to put on the wreath originally but it was made of clay and was way to heavy. But now it seems the little mouse turned out to be the best solution. Thanks for visiting.
Mary
10/31/2015 05:43:20 pm
Dianne, I never thought I would say this, but yes it is growing on me too. Althought I remember when my kids bought this toy home, I originally looked at it with horror. How we change. 10/31/2015 07:39:57 pm
So fun, Mary! Thank you for sharing @Vintage Charm!

Thanks Zefi.. I blog in 2 languages because I have viewers who don't speak English. I don't like google translate. It is not natural speach and I believe if someone is going to take the time to visit my blog, then I owe them the courtesy of trying to communicate with them the best I can. It takes longer but we should not forget why we blog.. In my case it makes me happy when I know that people have seen and liked my work. Hopping on over to your blog too. Thanks for visiting. 11/1/2015 12:52:01 pm
You are clearly talented Mary! You have a way with putting fabrics,textures and patterns together that just work!

Mary, this wreath is so you! I love the fabric, gorgeous prints, and the lace and rafia. Your sense of style is so unique and charming. Yes, it's a bit crazy but it works well together, especially the mouse! I bet it surprises everyone who sees it!!!
Mary
11/10/2015 02:08:43 pm
Nikki, the other day the mouse fell off the wreath and I walked outside looked down and screamed. I had forgotten about it and thought it was real... lol . Yes, I make crazy wreaths because I need excitement in my life. 11/9/2015 04:23:23 pm
What a super idea. The fabrics against the other elements look brilliant. I love the way this has come together.
