Mini-project

I am in the mood to redo some stuff! I decided to start small. Kaedon totally cleaned the garage out and in the process found this:


It is U-G-L-Y. It ain't got no alibi. I wasn't quite ready to throw it out, though. So I went to Hobby Lobby for these supplies:


Here is the finished product, which is perking up my kitchen counter as we speak.

Never done this before, but I'm sharing this at somewhat simple today.

My Version...

I spent about an hour in Hobby Lobby today. I decided to try my hand at recreating a couple of the wreaths that I loved. I made this one for Olivia's bedroom door:


It was so much fun that I may go back and get the materials to make boyish ones for the boys' bedroom doors.

I decided to try the easiest-looking wreaths for my front doors. Here's a picture. I love how they turned out. I have double front doors so I had to make two but only one is shown because you can see it better that way:


My favorite part is the strips of tattered looking lacey stuff that they are hanging from:

Easter Wreath

I have decided that I want to make, not buy, Easter wreaths for my front doors. I went looking for inspiration on etsy and here are my faves:










I'm going to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and I will post my sad version when I get done! Any opinions on which direction to go? I'm not totally delusional...I know I cannot make those feather wreaths. But they are so darn gorgeous!
