While out shopping at Goodwill I spied a huge bag of leftover yarn and thought I could incorporate a bit of the yarn trend with a pom-pom wreath. (The base was a recycled grapevine wreath.)

Mum’s The Word Fall Wreath Tutorial

The thermometer here in Phoenix has already climbed into the low 100’s. Somehow the dark linen slipcovers and heavy silk drapes I had in my front room made it seem even hotter.
