Project of the day

Wreaths are ridiculously expensive when you consider that they are excess trimmings from trees. They cost upwards of $50 on high-end websites. Today, I was charged with decorating the house for Christmas while Kelly dealt with a cluster feeding. I am learning new terms every day. Cluster feeding means that baby Mads needs food every hour. Kelly's exhausted after these feelings, and I have the good fortune to clean out several dirty diapers in a row. Back to my Christmas project.

Boxwood costs $4.98 at the local Despot's place. Our landlord's generous gift of a wreath covered in cotton rags left us with a foam circle. I channeled the many years of watching HGTV while watching the baby.

Angles betray the exposed white foam. I might need a second shot at the Despot for some more materials.
