Kiss Me {I'm Irish}

Y'all know I like to make wreaths, right? So I made one for March, for St. Patrick's Day. And bonus since green is my favorite color (most of the time).

Cute, right?

I decided to put the words "Kiss Me" on this one instead of lucky. After all, it's not luck that I believe in :)

And these flowers … LoVe them! No sew, and super easy to make. You can find a great tutorial here.

I love it. Too bad I'll have to take it down in a few weeks!

Wreath {LOVE}

So do you know that I like making wreaths? This is a new-found like of mine. First I made this Welcome wreath, then I made this {Holly Jolly} wreath. And now I have made this Valentine's Day wreath.

It all started with my beloved scissors …

And that cute fabric. Although, I ended up using Valentine's fabric instead, so I can use this for something else equally {cute}! Aren't they lovely. ♥ ♥ my Gingher scissors!

And then I added these things …

White fleece (not shown), cheap thread, hot glue, embroidery thread, red buttons and those nifty, neat-o yo-yo makers! I ♥ those things! It makes creating a yo-yo a breeze … no fidgeting (I hate fidgeting).

So here is the new wreath in all her glory …

Goodness, I really need to paint the front door!

L ♥ V E !

p.s. I made this with the idea that I found here :)

{Holly Jolly} Wreath

I'm not really a fan of candy canes. I don't particularly enjoy the peppermint flavor. Unless it's those yummy ones that melt in your mouth, then I could eat 70 of them! I do, however, like the looks of candy canes, the red contrasted against the white. So when I saw this, I thought I would copy it and make my own {Holly Jolly} wreath for Christmas:

I wanted something different, something whimsical, something fun. And something cheap. And this was all those things. Although making it was somewhat tedious, wrapping all that yarn over and over again. But I ♥ it :)

Here's what I used:

• a 17 ¾ inch wreath form (I wanted one of the smooth round foam kind, but they were no whereto be found and I wanted to make this yesterday)
• One skein each of red and white yarn
• Large red beads
• Green felt
• Light green embroidery floss
• Hot glue
• Green ribbon

I think you can figure out what I did, right?  I love the way it pops against my green door. More Christmas crafts coming from me to you ♥

Welcome!

I want my home to be welcoming, so what better way to start than with welcome signs at the front door. A new welcome mat that says, well, Welcome is on the front porch. And this morning I completed this:

It took me all morning, but it was worth it. I ♥ it and the message can be changed out to whatever I want whenever I want Ü

I made it following this tutorial (♥ Tatertots & Jello by the way!!)
Here's one last shot:
Ahhh … makes me Ü !!

Update: I think I need Teeny Tiny Little clothespins … these keep flipping around!
