Autumn Window Box for my Mom

Being Sunday and all, I thought I'd take a day off from doing anything, but I got bored.  Went downstairs to clean up my nook from my sewing party yesterday and ended up doing this



Mom and I bought all the supplies we thought we would need BEFORE she gave me the dimensions.  Ahh, way off on the Styrofoam and the flowers.  Had to bust up a reptile box that Kris had stashed in the furnace room.  (sorry babe!)  And a plant that was acquired at some point in life.   But, all in all, this was a super fun project.  First experience in putting together bouquets, let alone fake stuff. 


This is what we started out with.


Wear gloves when working with wire.  I PROMISE it will save you a LOT of pain.  These are the gardening gloves I bought from Wilson Nurseries and they are fantastic for everything that I do around here.


The finished product.


Can't wait to see it in her window box.  HOPE it fits.  Guess we'll find out tomorrow!
