My Copy-Cat Wreath

I am relatively new to the blog world and in my quest to check out other people's blogs, I came across two wonderful fall wreath designs that i found to be stunning - one at Ducks In A Row and the other at V and Co.

Inspired by the fall season and remembering these beautiful images, one day while out for a forest walk with my boys, I attempted to stuff as many pine cones in my jogging stroller as possible (both in the basket meant for carrying things, as well as all around one of my sleeping sons ... what's a little sap!).

Last night, my glue gun and I had a long overdue date (I think it's been more than a decade since I last pulled it out). A couple of glue burns later, I think I came out on top.

As you can see from the pictures, my pine cones are long white pine cones (I think), totally different shape than the above links so I was faced with a bit of a challenge on how to accommodate their shape, but I think it turned out pretty well.  I quickly grabbed that red fabric as I had leftovers from my son's curtains but might change it to plain cream or a plum pattern (if and when we ever paint our front door!).

My hands are sticking to the keyboard and mouse as I type. Gotta love glue guns.
