Barb’s Creative Hands-on Workshops

Barb’s Creative Hands-on Workshops Welcome to Barb's Love wreath. Thank you for stopping by to view all my wreaths that are all handmade with love. Barb,

Crafting custom wreaths for different occasions is my forte, and I also conduct workshops that offer a unique and entertaining opportunity for friends to come together and enjoy a join creative experience that fosters bonding and memories. I spent numerous hours or days in creating them until they are just right and meets my approval. They would make a lovely addition to anyone's home decor. My pictures do not do justice of the craftsmanship in them until you see them in person as many of my friends have said to me and I am still new on how to display and create better images of them. I also can do custom orders or design a wreath with material that the customer bought. All my life I have always been a crafty person that dabbled in many several art forms over the years, but what I loved the most was gifting my craft work to friends and family that greatly appreciated them, but over the years due to work and family responsibility I did not have the time to indulge in my hobbies, but last year due to Covid lockdown and out of boredom in being stuck at home I rediscovered my love of creating wreaths. For me, wreath making it is not all about creating a business in selling them, but mainly to connect to my Spiritual creative side of me that uplifts my Spirit and Soul that gives me great joy. What I find the hardest is a piece of me goes with every wreath I create and sometimes I have a hard time letting them go to customers and friends. If the materials were not so costly I would gift all my wreaths to everyone, it gives me great joy in seeing people loving them. I still donate my wreaths occasionally for worthy charity causes. How to maintain the wreaths from fading:
The poly mesh wreath will fade in direct sunlight and I normally spray them with Clear Gloss UV spray. I strongly recommend to my customers that hangs them outside in area's that are not protected from the environment to spray them occasionally. May you all be blessed with abundance and great health.

Sometimes the most beautiful creations take the longest to reveal themselves.

A dear crafty friend brought me this stunning illuminated gold wreath and asked if I could create something with it. To be honest, I was completely stumped. It was so beautiful on its own that I couldn't imagine adding anything without taking away from its elegance.

For months it sat quietly in my craft room, waiting for inspiration to strike. Every time I looked at it, I asked myself, "What could possibly enhance something that's already so lovely?"

Then one day, the vision came together.

After much thought, patience, and more than a few creative conversations with myself, this is the final result. ✨ Sometimes creativity can't be rushed. Sometimes it simply waits until the right idea finds its way to you.

What do you think? Was the wait worth it? 💛

Tomorrow, November 1st, is All Saints Day. It is a day when Christians attend church services to pray for their dearly departed family. This year for the first time I have made a saddle wreath for my in-laws to put on their tombstone. I normally make flower arrangements for my grandmothers and Aunt, but they always get destroyed in the winter, so instead I found several wicker crosses with a few flowers on them at Michael's in the clearance section. Let's see if these will last longer.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 💕

Did you know that 1 in 8 women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer?

I am a breast cancer survivor. I also have several family members and a friend who are survivors or are currently battling breast cancer.

I truly believe my early detection during a mammogram screening saved my life. Please make sure to schedule your screenings!

I have enough material to make one Breast Cancer wreath if anyone is interested in purchasing one.

Made this Rustic Owl winter grapevine wreath for a very special nature lover.

🦉 I am truly going to miss Monica, our wonderful Wednesday Walking Group Coordinator. She introduced us to hidden trails across Halton and Milton that I never knew existed, always pacing our walks perfectly for everyone's comfort.

Wishing you all the best in your retirement, Monica! 🍁🥂
