Soft Shades of Spring Vintage Yarn Wreath

Tea and Petit Fours Yarn Wreath

My newest wreath creation reminds me a lovely English rose garden complete with an afternoon tea and petit fours!

Crafting Adventures

Here are my latest crafting adventures:

The embroidery hoop was a random idea I had and thought I would try. I found the lovely shabby chic inspired fabric in the discounted scrap bin at Hobby Lobby!!

 I get a summer picnic/grandma's pretty fabric napkin vibe from this creation..very cozy, homey and pretty hung up on my new lovely key hanger found here:   http://www.etsy.com/people/OldNewAgain

Burlap!!

My newest love is burlap.  Side note: burlap is extremely messy to work with! When I was making this wreath, I covered the floor with newspapers and still had to vacuum several times and change my clothes!  It comes off in little pieces and also leaves a fuzzy mess on any cloth material.  However, burlap  gives a project a very "homey" feel. Watch out for hot glue burns when working with it.. the glue loves to seep up through the little holes!! For this project, I bought a straw wreath (very cheap at Hobby Lobby) and cut 3" strips of burlap and wrapped /glued them around the wreath in a random pattern.  I then hot glued the lace doily and added my favorite white and pink felt flowers.  I decided the wreath needed another "vintagey" look, so I added some little wooden peg buttons attached to felt. I love it!!- a very shabby chic, vintage inspired wreath.  Have I mentioned I'm obsessed with wreaths?!?!  I practically have a different wreath every week for my door!!  Eventually, I want to start documenting the process of creating but I haven't found the time to grab my camera mid crafting! Thanks for stopping by!!

Embroidery Hoop

Tonight I completed another embroidery hoop.  This little mixed media number features fuschia and purple felt flowers attached to burlap material and hand embroidered stems. I plan on propping this little sassy number on my bookshelf where plenty of boring textbooks need a pop of color infused into their dull lives.  I will also be selling replicas of this original in my Esty Shop. Yay.. another lovely craft complete!!

Weekend Crafts

I completed a small 5" yarn wreath and an embroidery hoop in the wee Saturday and Sunday evening hours.  I also am loving completed embroidery hoops used as decoration in a small space.  You can hang one up individually or group a few together to make a cute artsy look for your wall.
