Spring Is In The Air


I don't know what the weather is like where you are.. But here, it's almost safe to say that Spring is here. I came across an adorable wreath on Pinterest several weeks ago that I was anxious to make. My Mum picked up all the supplies the other day and I put together attempt #1! I'd like to do a couple more, trying different colors of flowers and ribbons. Someone even suggested tucking a little birds nest in the bottom with some eggs inside!
I thought the red gingham ribbon would be cute, as it reminds me of a picnic blanket! I didn't want it too "Eastery", just something nice for spring.

52 Things I Love About You

Wow, my first and only post was made almost 2 months ago! Thank goodness "Keep up with blog" is on my New Year's Resolution's list, clearly I need the reminder! I've got a folder on my computer of things to blog and pictures to post.. Because I fell behind, many of them are Christmas ideas! Would it be silly to blog Christmas crafts in February?? Most of me says, YES. A tiny Christmas loving part of me says, Nooooo! DO IT!

For now, I thought I'd share a gift I made for my wonderful husband for Valentine's Day. We agreed on a minimalistic approach this year in regards to gifts. I made him a little book filled with 52 things I love about him using a deck of cards.


My first post! JOY!

I've been meaning to start a blog for some time, but it's been so intimidating. I have so many ideas, and so many past projects that I would love to talk about. The thought of going through years of photos and writing dozens of tutorials that I may not even remember was disconcerting.

Today, I decided to just go for it and do what I can. Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't! Time will tell, right??

So my first thing to blog about, is a lovely project that my husband and I made together for over our fireplace. I originally saw the idea on Pinterest, which linked back to This Blog.

My version of this project was done a little different than the inspiration. Mine is covered in fabric and is much larger.
