It's That Time Again...

 

The Christmas Season. This marks one of my favorite times of the year. I love any excuse to redecorate the house. Also, any excuse to have twinkle lights in random places of our house, I am all for. The Friday after Thanksgiving, I came home and brought all of the decorations into the house. The next few hours were spent making our home a wonderland covered in glitter, pine needles, and lights.

 

I am always tempted to find ways to keep this up all year round.

 

But, then I would be even more of a crazy woman.

Even the bathroom needs some Christmas Decor

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around these parts. Also....I'm done with my shoppping already!!!

A Simple DIY: Fall Wreath

I finally finished the fall wreath I've been working on and wanted to share the process with you all. It was very easy to create, a little time consuming, but simple nonetheless. 

What you'll need: 

• A foam wreath (Found mine at Hobby Lobby) 
• Yarn (in assorted colors, as many different colors as you'd like) 
• Floral Arrangements (I found these on sale at Hobby Lobby!) 

Begin by wrapping the yarn color of choice around the foam wreath. I usually take a little piece of tape to secure the first part of the yarn. You will cover the tape with yarn eventually as you keep going. 

Keep alternating your yarn colors as much as you'd like. This doesn't have to be perfect as long as the foam wreath is completely covered and the color spacing is to your liking. 

Next, I cut the stems off of the floral arrangements from Hobby Lobby and used a glue gun to attached the leaves/flowers to the wreath in whatever way I felt was best. 

I think it turned out great and really makes our front door pop! Wrapping the yarn is a tad time consuming, but catch up on your favorite TV show and relax. The end result is exactly what I was looking for! 

Fall is in the Air: An Outfit Post

I can feel fall coming. It's seeping into my bones. Scarves, boots, lattes, leaves. My favorite time of year. 

In an effort to wear more color (Number Twenty) , I picked up this dress the other day. I've been really attracted to outfits with a lot of print and huge earrings. 

Outfit Details: 

Dress & Earrings: Charming Charlie's

Shoes: Payless, I think? 

Also, I finished my fall garland the other night (Based off of Elsie's garland) . I love how it turned out and it's a perfect fit for our piano. 

Check back soon for a new Fall Wreath DIY that I've been working on! 

Project #2

This was quite the time consuming task. Wrapping all of that yarn took quite a while, but I love it! It will match my office perfectly! :)

I like being crafty.

And I can't wait to use some of this fabric I have been collecting. Our house is being overtaken and I'm entirely ok with that.
