Work in Progress and November Rose

I could not help myself so I worked outside today. What a beautiful day. I wanted to at least get the bows on my window wreaths and the lights around the large wreath. So I decided to take pictures of my work in progress and I will take more when I am finished.
I decided to go with white and blue this year. I change colors every other year. This is the first for the blue and white.

This is the large wreath and it will hang in the middle of the brick over by the picture window. It will have white pine cones and blue Christmas balls and it has tiny little blue and white snow flake lights. I put a very LARGE bow on it so it will stand out when I get the rest of the stuff on there.

There are 5 of the smaller window wreaths and they will also have blue balls and white pine cones. No lights. Too much work to put lights on them besides I put a candle in each window below the wreath. The candles this year will be blue......... go figure!

It is hard to tell by these pictures but the white ribbon is translucent plastic with tiny holes. It shines really nice when light hits it. With the icicles on the eves they will sparkle real nice at night.



On the white lattice board out by the mail box I just wired some old Christmas tree branches with the white ribbon laced through it. It will also have pine cones and maybe blue balls, I have not decided yet.

So there is my work in progress and I hope to have it all finished by the weekend and we will wait till after dark and take pictures!

NOW..................

I could not resist cutting this rose. It is one of three left on my climbing Don Juan and it is just perfect. I wish you could see it up close......... It is perfect!

So I have named it my November Rose...........

Actually, we are all a work in progress but you knew that........ and in HIS eyes we too are perfect.

Have a blessed Thursday.....
