Spring Wreath

The other night Hubby, Addie and I went for a walk around the neighborhood.  I was admiring everyone's spring decorations, when it hit me!  I never made a spring wreath!!  I was so consumed with decorating my mantle for spring that I completely forgot.  I have a million things going on - orders and working on stuff for my sister's baby shower - but I can put all that aside to throw together a quick wreath, right?  Of course!!  So that's what I did.  Our house is a like an army green color, so I knew that yellow was my color of choice.  I have had the same spring wreath for about 9 years now, and the flowers were way faded on it - it had definitely seen better days.  So - I removed everything from the wreath except for some yellow flowers that were still in good shape.  Then I quickly made some rosettes and burlap flowers and I was done.  I did, however, burn the living daylights out of my fingers with my hot glue gun.  Oh well - that's what I get for rushing I guess.  LOL.

That's it - quick and easy!  Now I have to go nurse my crafting wounds...

Backpack Name Tags - Day 8

Into week 2 - and I'm having so much fun!  Today is a quick but cute project because I am going on a field trip with Addie's class.  So with her in mind, I decided to make a name tag for her backpack.


I had made some luggage tags awhile back for some clients as bridal shower favors.  Here's a few of them:

I still have some of those plastic covers, which are really durable.  Addie is so hard on all of her stuff, so I knew whatever I made for her would have to endure being tossed around.  I also wanted something pretty simple.  As I was designing them, she sat with me and picked out which colors she wanted (pink and purple of course) and she told me that she wanted flowers.
This is what I came up with:

Have a great day!  Till tomorrow!

Flower Pin - Day 5

Aren't Sunday's supposed to be a day of rest?  I have been so busy today - church, target, Kohls, a birthday party, and now we're finally home.  This is the first chance I have had to post all day!  I knew today would be crazy so I actually cheated and made this last night - shhh, don't tell!


I bought this striped fabric the other day and fell in love with it.  I knew right away that it would look great with burlap.  I wore it today and got lots of compliments on it.  I think it would look great on a jacket too.

Now - to go relax.  Time to get food on the table, bath for Addison and I think we may watch a little football too.


Till tomorrow!!
