I bought this kit in September and to be honest, had almost become so used to it sitting on the worktop in my space that I could easily have stopped seeing it...it was a bit of a tidy up that made me realise that now would be a good time to make it up. It actually contained loads of ribbon lengths that I couldn't make work, the instructions weren't very clear to me. So, out came the glue gun and I made it up from the picture on the box (at left on my desk) and by missing out the ribbons that I didn't like. Was a nice couple of hours and only two sweary moments when the glue was too hot for fat fingers! She doesn't know it yet, but this wreath is for Miss Dunnit and I shall deliver it today. Which means I'm out again, so please bear with me on the visiting front!
I'm not sure why the mouse looks drunk.. he looks more upright than that to me...wonky eyesight! He might have to be a manipulated mouse! So whilst I'm out by the grey blue waters of the south coast, please show and tell, you obviously are an inspiration. And not just to me.

That’s really nice, I’m sure Miss D will love it! The mouse does look a bit squiffy, been raiding your booze cupboard again? I thought you might share the bottle you were doing during our catch up. Hope you have a nice day out.

I think it looks great, I am sure Miss D will love it, wonky mouse or no.....Hope the trip to the coast is good, and Happy WOYWW Helen #3
Adore the wreath Julia - Miss D will love it! The mouse has obviously started on the Christmas cheer early lol. Hope the fingers have recovered. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
What a lovely wreath!
'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside', lucky you getting a trip in to see DD and the sea breeze to waft all over you. Can't think of a more enjoyable thing to be doing than that unless, of course, it was making the garland.
Have a great day and catch up whenever.

I love your Christmas wreath. The little mouse is perfect to me and am sure it will be loved by Miss Dunnit. Have a lovely day together.

Good morning Julia! Your wreath is lovely and I am sure your daughter will love it, wonky mouse or not. Actually I think he is quite cute! Have a great visit with your daughter and I hope the sun comes out for you. Hugs Angela #6
Ah I have missed this! So maybe he is listing a bit to ... port? Starboard? I'm sure it matters if you are looking AT him or AS IF you are him. No matter, I am sure Miz Dunnit will love him. What better gift than one made by your own fair hand? I love a festive wreath - maybe I need to persuade Darling Daughter to make one with me!
Have the happiest of WOYWWs and enjoy your daughter.

Looks like we've both been pushing the limits of our glue gun and ribbon tying skills this week!! The mouse is super cute, I'm sure Miss D will love it. Happy WOYWW, love n hugs Cindyxx #12
What a super wreath, the mouse is so cute, Miss Dunnit will love it. I've not done anything Christmassy yet... Hugs BJ#14
I do like the mouse and when you drink a glass (or two, or three) of "gluhwein" he might even look sober! Ha! Enjoy your day with the Miss. Love from Holland, Marit #10
Happy WOYWW. The wreath looks just perfect to me. Miss Dunnit will love it. Hope you have a fun day delivering it. Ali x #15
What a lovely wreath! Far better to have your own touch to it than just copying the instructions. I love the little mouse, drunk or not! Your DD will love it I'm sure! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #16
That’s a beautiful wreath, Julia. I’m sure Miss Dunnit will love it. I love the little mouse.
Take care and happy WOYWW
