Felt Ombre Wreath

Happy not-really-Monday-but-it-feels-like-it!!  Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!  Natalie actually ended up catching whatever Lily had but seemed to be a 24 hour thing for her so she was able to go to school. woo hoo! :)  Mama was getting cabin fever!

I am happy to report that my camera is working!!  I guess the rechargeable battery could no longer hold a charge.  I'll take a $25 battery over having to buy a new camera any day!  So I can finally share a project that I have been working on!

I don't know about you guys but I love the ombre look.  For those of you who don't know what that is it's here's the definition:

ombré

adjective

shaded or graduated in tone: said of a color

Origin: Fr, pp. of ombrer, to shade < L umbrare < umbra, shade

And did you know it was also some sort of card game? Yeah, me either.
Oh wikipedia how I love thee.

Here are some examples of ombre:

 I LOVE the look on furniture!  Like this piece my buddy Cassie recently did.  I was with her when she bought it and I passed right by it.  I guess that's why she is the furniture guru :)

I would love to eventually find a dresser and do the same look.  At the moment though I have no money nor space for a new piece of furniture.  Although if something comes around that looks like the above I may have to make an exception :)
With that said I wanted to incorporate the ombre look somewhere in my decor now, using things I had on hand.

While looking through my felt I noticed I had three shades of white and that's when the lightbulb went off.  I have been wanting to make a felt wreath for sometime but wasn't sure of the look I wanted.  I thought I would try to make an ombre wreath!!

Now I am not gonna lie this was VERY time consuming and at times I wondered if this was a major fail but I plugged on.  And i could not be happier that I did.  About eighteen kabillion circles and 5 glue sticks later (kinda reminds me of this project) this is the result...

The aqua ribbon was my other pal Ali's idea.  I didn't have any solid aqua ribbon on hand (shocking, I know!) so I used this polka dot one instead and I must say I'm in love!!

So what do you guys think?  Am I crazy? Should I hang my head in shame or did I make blogging history? ;)
