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 pi

ctures 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.

Good morning everyone. I want to thank everyone who has volunteered to assist me with my workshops this Fall. As you all know I am waiting for a shoulder replacement surgery and have been in tremendous pain and exhausted lately. I also have limited use of my arm. Our Healthcare sucks at this moment due to limited surgery funding that only critical injuries get first priority for surgery.
I have finally was able to finish my Braided Fall wreath I am planning on teaching at the Senior Center in September. I love on how it turned out.

To all my crafty ladies who have purchased Unique in the Creek wreath boards from me — or who would like to order materials from them — I’m planning to place an order soon. If you’d like to save on shipping, you’re welcome to add your items to my order. When we reach $175, Unique in the Creek is now offering free shipping again.

For the month of June, I’m also offering a free one‑to‑one consultation if you’d like to learn a specific petal or design technique.

I am presently experiencing diminished motivation and energy for crafting due to considerable pain in my left shoulder, which is scheduled for replacement surgery. However, the procedure's scheduling is uncertain owing to funding constraints that have restricted surgical procedures to emergency cases only. Consequently, I am uncertain about my ability to lead workshops this Fall, particularly two themed workshops I had planned, namely a Fall Braided rope and an over-the-door blue Poinsettia ribbon hanger. Despite this, I commenced work on the Braided rope today, but I am still awaiting the necessary supplies to complete it. Here is a preliminary glimpse of what I designed today. I am waiting for a flat ring wreath board and velvet pumpkins. Meanwhile, I will initiate work on another rope wreath design while awaiting the arrival of my supplies.
Have a nice weekend everyone.

I was motivated to design a new over the door ribbon wreath using ribbons and flowers. I will introduce this inexpensive workshop for Christmas using wider blue ribbon. This one is for sale. A lovely decorating idea to brighten up your bedroom, bathroom, condo door or for a loved one in a retirement home.

I would like to showcase another image of Debbie's Tulip Grapevine wreath, which she expertly created during one of my private classes. The result is truly impressive, and I am now motivated to revamp my old existing Grapevine Tulip wreath.

When I stepped outside onto my step of my side door, I was greeted by something that made my heart skip a beat. As a spiritual person, I've come to recognize signs from the universe. After losing my Dad, I had a Cardinal visiting my window for years, but it stopped when my Mom passed away. Then, when my sister passed away, a dragonfly flew around me, stopping right in front of me. It felt like she was visiting, especially since she loved dragonflies - I had given her one as a gift shortly before she passed. These signs always make me look up in my Animal speak book to find the message the universe is trying to deliver me. I did not copy the whole message for you to read it was too long, but it's words resonated in the direction I have been guided lately.
This is the short version of my message today and it may also resonate for you as I was guided to post it for others to read.

Key Spiritual Meanings of the Snake:

Transformation & Rebirth: Like shedding skin, the snake symbolizes letting go of the past and adopting a new, higher perspective.
