BrittanyBowerDesigns.com is now live!

3 Dec

Hey everyone! I have some exciting news. As you know, I started a new crafting project making wreaths back during the summer as a way of mentally escaping the craziness of the world around us. This has been amazing therapy for me and (according to my amazingly supportive friends and family) I have finally achieved the “WOW” factor that I always craved with my crafts, and have decided to make them public for y’all to see and share in. The wreaths I have shared throughout the year are there with a few others. Go check them out at BrittanyBowerDesigns.com.

While the Let It Snow Wreath was the first one to get me really excited and think that I might be onto something, this candy cane wreath is my favorite! You could clearly see the theme even before I added the additional decorations and it seemed to build itself. It is the fullest and largest of the wreaths I have made to date.

Merry Christmas Candy Cane Deco Mesh Wreath – now available at BrittanyBowerDesigns.com

Now that Christmas is almost upon us, I will be shifting gears shortly. If there is a specific theme you would like to see (holiday related or not) please let me know, either on here with a comment or at brittany@brittanybowerdesigns.com.

Happy holidays!

Hi Again…from Quarantine

26 Aug

Hi again everyone. I know it’s been a while, but like many, I now have much more time on my hands than I thought possible this time last year, and even more since my last post and the time in between.

It has now been 2 years since my fiance and I bought our house (I know, I know, we still haven’t tied the knot), but that’s a story for another time, possibly not too soon from now. Since then, we’ve made attempts at revamping parts of the house, but only a few have stuck. I had a promotion at work, then left and started a new job, much like many of you probably have had to do. I’ve reconnected with an old friend and our friendship is now a teenager (haha…things that make us feel good, but also remind us of our age and the fact that time seems to speed up as the years go by). And, also like most others, I have started a new hobby.

I have always wanted to be, and have tried to be, crafty. When I was younger, it was school projects. I tried crocheting but didn’t get very far. I did learn how to hand sew and have continued to hone this ability since, even going so far as to make my own masks during this pandemic. But the things I attempted have never made anyone go “WOW!” until this year’s worldwide Corona quarantine. While listening to a friend’s podcast which reads a Harry Potter inspired fan-fiction, I ran across Deathly Hallows inspired wreaths in the house colors.

Thinking something similar might be fun to do for my house, I showed the idea to my fiance. Although he wasn’t as keen on the Harry Potter idea 😒, he still encouraged me to try my hand at it. While I will make one down the road for my own enjoyment, I decided to focus on my favorite holiday, Christmas! This is the first one that I have completed to my satisfaction and while my friends like it (they’re kinda obligated to), I wanna know what you think! So leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts 😉.

If you have any other ideas for styles or themes I might enjoy, let me know that as well.

Stay safe and God bless.
