Minnie's Milestones

Front Porch Winter 2015

Christmas on the way and just finally getting a post for Minnie's Milestones blog! Many ideas in my head, but with a vacation with family the second week in November, then a wonderful Thanksgiving and a tea at our church the first of December with a table to decorate, (I was painting plate chargers the night before) just can't seem to get it all together! I started a strength training class also along with walking three miles a day, excuses, I know and I do believe you make time for what is most important in your life.

I love the dramatic effect my huge poinsettia makes on my navy blue front door. If you shop at Hobby Lobby as I do, you probably have seen it in a bin standing up with its stalk attached. I took the stalk off and hot glued the green leaves back on and added a wire hanger.
​ Easy Peasy!

The topiaries are stacked Christmas boxes with bright green, huge bows sitting on urns.

Yes, the boxes are Hobby Lobby finds, also! Three different sizes, stacked together and ribbon wrapped around them.

The big green bows, I found there too!

After receiving questions regarding how I hung the poinsettia and how I removed the stalk from different social media sites, I realize I should have done a better job describing the process. Please see below.
Picture
The stalk is very tough to cut. I used a wire cutter to remove the stalk and good old fashion wrestling and pulling to remove the stalk.  The wire hanger is really part of the wires that are in the stalk that will need cut from the flower. I just left one of the wires longer and used it has a hanger by just making a loop.
