A Pink Wreath for "Fancy That"...

 I Just finished taping the second episode of  the new local cable TV show I am hosting, "Fancy That".   
This is still quite new to me, and I have lots to learn but I am having a lot of fun doing it.  The show was all about dressing up your home's outside entrance.  I  demonstrated creating a
"One of a Kind" wreath and some spring door cans.
Here's  a photo from the opening of the show....


I started off with an ordinary grapevine wreath...



Worked some magic....



and the wreath was transformed from ordinary to
 EXTRA-Ordinary...


All those PINK flowers just shout out
"SPRING IS ON IT'S WAY".

I just love the  BIG PINK Hydrangeas.



I added a sheer wire edged ribbon bow.


Here's the door cans that I also made for the show. Beside hanging them on the outside of the door handle,  I like to hang a pair of  on the inside of my front door.  That way I can enjoy them when I am inside the house also!



I

I used a few different ribbons and some decorative buttons.





I ALWAYS have a wreath on my front door.  This is the wreath that I created and is hanging on my door right now.


I added this heart that hangs in the center of the wreath.


A simple message, that greets all my guests.



A Fall wreath that I created using all the colors of Autumn.



Here's a tip when using an artificial wreath for the Christmas season.  Use fresh Christmas tree greens and tuck them into the wreath.  Then your guests will never know that you used an artificial wreath.  Once the holiday season is over, remove the fresh greenery and store the wreath until next year. 
Can you see where I have tucked the real greens into the wreath?


  There's a tip....
Do you have a front door that is glass?
  Wondering how you can hang your wreath?
I have a solid glass front door. I use a large suction cup to hold all my wreaths. Make a hook in the back of the wreath using some floral wire and hang it from the suction cup. It works great!
 You can purchase the wire and suction cup at Michaels Crafts.
 

Just a bit more PINK to share with you.  For the latest episode of "Fancy That"  I wanted to accessorize my outfit.  What better, than a wonderful spring time apron. I found the perfect PINK spring time fabric. I designed the apron to have lots of pockets to hold all my different tools I use in the workroom. Now, no more lost scissors! I'll know exactly where to find them.


Many of you have asked when the next episode of "Fancy That"  will air.  They are editing the episode I taped yesterday and  it should be ready this coming week. I will post as soon as it's available and then you too can  learn how to make a wonderful wreath that will welcome your guests this spring.
  If  you love PINK as much as I do, head on over to  Pink Saturday.  There are so many wonderful bloggers posting and Nancy has a wonderful post about making organza roses.  Stop by and check it out.  I'm going to be trying this wonderful idea!  Looking for other wonderful sites to visit this weekend?  I'll be linking this post to....

My New Cable TV Show..."Fancy That"

I've been busting at the seams to share the news with you, but I had to wait until it was official.  My first episode of  "Fancy That" is now running on our local cable TV station.  It's been in the works for awhile, but after some delays it's now on the air.  I didn't even know that it aired, until I got a phone call from a friend asking for my autograph.  I asked "for what"?   She told me that while she was preparing dinner with her husband,  my face popped up on the TV!  What a HOOT.    Each monthI will be filming a new episode.  It's quite a production. The first episode took about 4 hours to film.  Partly because I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing.  This episode of "Fancy That"  is about taking an ordinary lampshade and making it into something extra-ordinary. 
Grab a cup a coffee and watch how easy it is to create a one of a kind lampshade...

Well after watching , I hope you will take one of your lampshades and  give it a whole new style.

Here's some photos of the finished lampshade.

I just love the fabric patterns as the light shines through the shade.  After I finished the lampshade and took some photos, I had wished that I had done the lampshade for myself.  The colors are perfect for my room.  I think I have enough fabric to do one for me...
I'll put that on my list of projects to do!




The center fabric I picked up at Hobby Lobby.  It was the perfect color for my client's bedroom.  I had recently made the window treatments and bedding for her master bedroom.  I just happened to mention that the lampshade could use a bit of embellishing.  Then I got an idea...Why not recover her lampshade for my fist show?
Great idea.... "Fancy That" !




Here's the other patterned fabric.  It is a wonderful gold tone on tone.


The gimp trim and the scalloped trim were found at Jo Ann Fabrics.  A bargain at 50%  off.  I had to special order the beaded trim from one of my vendors.




I think every lamp in my house has a style of beaded trim.  I love the way it looks when the lights hit it.  It just adds a bit of bling and glamor. 



I hope you enjoyed the video and learned a few tips.  Don't be nervous to try and recover one of your lampshades.  It's easy to do and once your done, you'll be hooked!
