Hello Stranger

Well...actually, I'm the stranger.  I guess the title should be Hello FROM A Stranger.  I know it's been a while.  I got blog and crafted out a little while back ago.  I'm refreshed and have been crafting again.  So, naturally, I feel like blogging again because it's fun to show off what we do!

Maybe it's Valentine's Day, or just having actual time to myself again after the craziness of the holidays when I don't have any time at all, but something about this time of year just causes me to want to get my craft on!

So, I've been working on some wreaths.  One day when it was grey and dark and dreary outside I just got inspired to make a brightly colored wreath for my door.  I think I was in wreath mode this time last year too when I made this Valentine's Day wreath.  That was a felt ruffle wreath. This year I decided on a fabric rag wreath.  I had never made one before...it was SO fun!!  Here's what I made.
Fabric Rag Wreath



So, now I'm addicted to rag wreaths.  I made this one to sell in my Etsy store (see the link on the sidebar to visit my shop).

 Isn't it gorgeous?  I can hardly stand to let it go!

 So then I had a bunch of fabric left over but didn't think I had enough to make another wreath so I made a matching garland for my Etsy Store too. 


So much fun!  I love the colors!  Perfect for Valentine's Day and well into spring!

Now I have fabric for another one - a lot more spring colors.  But I'm finishing a felt ruffle St. Patrick's Day wreath!

Arrrggghhhh - wreath mania!! 

I can't wait to show you my fabulous new tool I got for my felt ruffle wreaths.  I'll try to post that in the next day or two!
