Wreath Inspiration

Hello world!! I am just coming up for a little air…I have been in lock down mode since Thanksgiving. I am working hard to get all of my orders done in time for Santa to deliver them!

I have been trying to take little breaks here & there to decorate, I love how my little Christmas home is coming together this year! I can’t wait to share photos when it’s complete! One thing on the Christmas to-do list is make a wreath for the front door. Being the knitting & yarn lover that I am, I can’t help but be drawn to these yarn ball wreaths, I have been seeing them everywhere & have been itching to make one! Here are some pretty inspirations & links on how to make one for yourself – enjoy!

I am working on a super-mega-amazing Santa’s helper gift guide that I will be posting later this week & I’ve also been putting together a fun little wrapping paper tutorial – the wrapping is always my favorite part of gift giving!!! Can’t wait! Time for some more knitting & hot cocoa drinking! ♥

DIY rugs & such

I have been on the search lately for some area rugs for my house but haven’t found much that I love (or is even remotely in my price range) so since I would much rather do things for myself anyways I have compiled a little list of some fun DIY rugs…now I just have to decide which ones I want to try!

It would be fun to do this patchworky-ness on a larger scale.

We grew up with these braided rugs, I’ve always loved how they look. They would also work really well in the bathroom.

Not gonna lie…this one is probably my favorite! I would love a whole floor (or wall) covered in these!! (They would also be so sweet in a baby’s room)

This one is also super fun! Being a vegetarian, I am totally digging the faux-zebra! It would be fun in so many different colors….

I’ve seen lots of different versions of the diy chevron rug, this one actually uses fabric instead of painting!

This was made sewing Ikea rugs together! Love love this idea! Our stairs are the first thing you see when you open the door, what a great idea to brighten that area up!!
