Christmas Lovelies!


Yarn Wreath
Christmas Yarn Wreath
I have finally made a yarn wreath! I've had this styrofoam mold for over a YEAR! And the other night while Robin watched the Football game I decided it was time to work this baby up! I am so happy with the way it turned out! I didn't have a lot of supplies to work with, but I am so pleased! I used left over ornaments from our little baby tree we bought and I made the yarn ball and I crocheted a sparkly white snowflake (btw, I am obsessed with the snowflakes too! I am so glad a few of you love them!!)

I've ALWAYS wanted a white tree!! When I was in highschool I bought a SILVER 2 ft table top tree and I decorated it with hot pink, teal and purple! It was so sweet, but after Robin and I got married I threw it away. He HATED it so much, so I let it go.
I got this tree for $7.50 (YAY!) the other day at Rose's (a cheaper version of Wal-Mart). I got some decorations from Big Lots and Wal Mart and made quick work of decorating it! I think next year I will make TONS of ornaments to go on it, but this year I was a little too busy to make all the ornaments! I have some that I actually need to put up!
We also have another tree in the house. Our big, lovely, artificial tree. It's in the living room and it's decorated in Red, Gold and Black. I will share those with you later!
What yo you guys think?! What crafty bits have you added into your homes lately? Share your stuff too, I wanna seeee!!
love, heather

christmas on my mind


i am SO making one of these for christmas. i have been obsessed with them since about october and really wanted to make one, but didn't come across a good enough deal on a wreath. I found what i'll be using at the dollar tree... my favorite place :)

i had planned on making a TON of ornaments as well this year... but uh... life is getting in the way of those plans. 

i have a craft show coming up & i'm not quite prepared for it at all.. and it looks like the only way I'll be able to get anything new made is to stay up past 12. Which as I'm typing now it's 12.30 and I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. (sigh.. i wish i didn't complain so much......)

i have a painting project coming up this week too. my friend destiny and I will be painting a window mural for a community center here in town. excited about it & can't wait to get started.

I really just want to decorate for christmas. i want to turn on my christmas playlist (which is the BEST christmas playlist you will EVER hear:P ) and light up the house and trim it with holly and bunting and handmade things and natural things.

i want a hot cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and my breath to be visable. i want snow and mittens. 

i just love winter. what kind of crazy person am I? 

well, i'm seriously about to slump over the computer.. i promise to do better next time. pictures and paragraphs instead of incomplete sentences.

p.s. the hubs took me to see NEW MOON tonight. he really does love me. i have to say NEW MOON WAS WAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER. :D that is all folks. *sigh*
