Lucky Wreath

I don't usually decorate a whole bunch for St. Patrick's Day, but I found this pattern for crocheted shamrocks and couldn't resist. 

I wrapped a dollar store wreath with some hemp rope I had, stuck the shamrocks on and voila a lucky wreath!

Here is a detailed picture:

I've got a few extras...so I'm thinking I'll make up a couple pins. Any other ideas?



Valentine's Day Wreath

Last year I got a heart shaped wreath on clearance. It took me until just last week to find it again. (note to self: please organize better)

Usually I kinda hate pink, but I had some pink yarn on hand and I decided for Valentine's Day I could make an exception.


I crocheted up a bunch of little hearts to add a little something.

They are perfect for using up my yarn remnants. I will be making a LOT more.

Spring Wreath

I was kinda sad to take down my Easter Wreath and my door looked lonely. SO I decided to make another yarn wreath, since I have a TON of it. I wrapped the wreath and then it sat on my dining table for a week while I tried to figure out what to do with it.

Then last week I came across THIS POST from Make it and Love it. She has a ton of great fabric scrap ideas, including a link on how to make Yo-Yo's. I think I'm addicted. They are SO easy and look SO pretty.

I made a bunch in a pink, green, brown family of colors and then topped them with buttons. I had a bunch of very pale pink tulle that finished off the wreath.

Here's some detail of my yo-yo's and buttons.

Do you keep your scraps? What do you do with them? I'm off to make more yo-yo's...we'll figure out what the heck I'm going to do with them later :o)

Easter Wreath

When I was organizing my craft hoard, I noticed that I had an unnatural collection of yarn (among other things, but that's besides the point). In an effort to use some of my stash I decided to wrap a wreath with it.

I also had some craft supplies hidden away with my Easter decorations so I went ahead and added those. I really love how it turned out. I have a TON more yarn...so it's possible you may see more of these in the future. :o)

Fabric Wreath

I finished this wreath on Monday while putting my feet up and watching Project Runway. It isn't quite as full as the original in the tutorial I found, but I still like how it came out. If I make another (which I'm thinking I will) I'm going to buy two jewel packs, so I can add more volume. The project calls for a honey bun, but I couldn't locate one at Joann's :o/
Is it too early to hang a fall wreath?
