DIY Shabby Wreath

I have been looking for a wreath for my front door. Its not that I cant find one, its just that I'm so darn indecisive! I can never make up my mind and then once I have it narrowed down, I just don't want to spend the money. So I came up with another plan. I made my own by using a full size sheet that I was fixing to throw away and a $5.00 Styrofoam wreath from the local craft store.

I started out by cutting  ripping the sheet into 1 to 3 inch shreds. Note: I did not do this perfectly. I just ripped away at it. The word for today is "Shabby".


Then I began to tie each one in a knot around the Styrofoam. After each few that I tied on, I would trim to to the length I wanted them. Note: This will use up the whole sheet.

Add some decorations such as bows, flowers, etc...

And wah lah. There you have it. A shabby wreath.  Easy enough huh?

Crochet Booties

Here is a little craft I have enjoyed making the past few months. I have been crocheting baby booties when I get bored. I made a pair last year that I thought was really cute but I recently found an easier one at Bev's country cottage. She has alot of cute and easy crochet patterns. I have adjusted it just a little for my own preference but her originals are great!


I don't know why I'm stuck on making these cute little things.



I laugh at every pair I make because I think its just funny that I do this. I have actually had a couple request for a pair already and so that makes it even more fun to know I'm gonna actually make a pair someone will adore no matter if they cover little toes or sit on a shelf. I have even had someone suggest I donate them to a charity which I have actually thought would be great but I am bad about not sticking to one thing long.

 I am just still trying to find my talent.
