Everyone Needs a Lima Bean Wreath

So what's a girl to do with a hankering for a new winter wreath and an excess of lima beans?  I guess any normal person would let the lima beans cook all day while making a fantastic wintery wreath but I don't guess I'm what you'd call normal... 

Although I do enjoy a good ole pot of limas!


Instead.... I decided to make me a wreath covered in limas...not cooked, of course.

It's funny, moving from the country to the city is way different.  I say country, it was country to me, even though we were nestled nicely on the side of a mountain next to the river.  And especially now that we have moved... but, "living in exclusion" may be a better term for the old homeplace.  

I mean, I still decorated and made lots of projects in the old house, there was just no one to see them.  Except for those of you out there who enjoy reading and looking at the pictures on this blog.  

Let me just be blunt with you... in the city, the pressures on!  To have a nice yard, a unique wreath, fancy-shmancy oversized, and overpriced I might add, potted ferns to welcome any and all guests.  And the pressure is especially high since our home seems to be on the way to work or on the way home for most of the people we know and love.  Some even go out of their way to drive past our new home, so things that may seem insignificant... (to the husband) like a wreath, or a garden flag, or the welcome mat...are a big deal to me!

I even recieved a few custom orders for Christmas from people who drove by the house, saw something they loved, found me a Facebook, and messaged me to make that something for their loved ones.  See...that kinda pressure.  You get what I'm saying?!

So, with the wreath, I knew I wanted something white...crafty yet elegant...eye-catching but modest.  And after googling and pouring over Pinterest and finding something similar to this, I knew exactly what I had to do.  I was super excited with how this turned out...Hopefully you will be, too!
