My daughter brought balsam fir boughs to our basement and we set up shop to make wreaths. Sorry no photos of the work area but take my word for it, it's a mess with needles and branches all over.
You've seen the wreath I made for our front porch on my header.
Here's another one I made and attached to one old single snowshoe that we found in the barn loft.
Funny that the house doesn't look as yellow as the photo of the porch wreath.
This wreath is hanging by our side door. In New England most people don't use their front doors.
This afternoon granddaughters came over with Emily and we helped them make wreaths to give to their teachers. I worked with granddaughter number 2. She decided the pattern of dried flowers and helped select the bundles which I wired on a metal wreath frame. We got halfway finished and she said, "Nana, you can finish it!"
The one I helped with is on the left.
postscript:
Here's the one Emily made last week for her new door. She's the pro!

...I love the snow shoe.
You had a great time with the grandkids.
I can see why the kid wants you to finish the work!
...Emily certainly is a pro!
Those are all quite beautiful!
Such pretty wreathes, and fun to make and then remember as you share with everyone who visits (or reads your blog!!)
First time visitor to your blog. Good luck with your life change Marcia, it takes guts!
Beautiful wreaths, I've never attempted making one, I just use one in my front door, that I've had for about 15 years!
Fine looking wreaths. She has the skill down.
Those are beautiful. I don't have a wreath this year but you've made me want one.
They are all beautiful but the snowshoe one is special. I’ve walked a lot of miles on snowshoes in my day!
These are all lovely but the snowshoe one is really special!
You are both pretty good at this.
I've found a new enterprize for you and Emily to enter into.. Those wreaths are so beautiful so you ought to go into business! Merry Christmas, dear friend.
