Alison's creative and cute treasures!

I cannot get over some of this stuff that my friend Alison makes! So stinkin' cute!

These felted acorns are made with the traditional felting method, which amazes me to no end.

Then she adds all the felted pieces and other adornments to these amazing yarn wrapped wreaths! This "Welcome To Our Cabin" wreath she made for her parents cabin. So cute!

Here's what Alison says about the wreath: "I made this one for mom and dads cabin. The cabin sign was an ornament I got after Christmas on super sale. Then I added real pinecones and foliage. The acorns are felted with real acorn tops."

She also made these adorable hair clips and hair clip holder for one of our friend's daughters, Reese. It is all felt and super sweet!

For Alison's own daugher, Nora, she made this Worry Doll Wreath:

Alison says:

"I made this one for Nora. It's small probably 4" or 5". It has felt roses and fabric flowers. Then I put a worry doll on it that I made when I was younger."

I love the addition of the worry doll she made! So cute to pass down to your own daughter!

And yet another Felt Rose Wreath from Alison's creative collection:

The white bird on this wreath was also felted, using the same technique as the acorns. So perfect for a little girl's room or to dress up a living room!

Thanks Ali for sharing all of your creative treasures!!

Luke is One!

I cannot believe it has been as long as it has since my last post. Some crazy stuff has happened in the last couple of months, and basically blogging went on the back burner. But I'm back Jack, so get ready.

Jessica is throwing baby Luke his first birthday party in a week and has homemade the cutest decorations.

First is this birthday party wreath, which she is now an expert at making:

It is yarn wrapped wreath form in delicious colors.

Then she made the cutest banner out of paper. She can't decide where to put it, though. Here it is hanging on the mirror:

Or hang on the highchair?

Either place it is so cute, including cut out letters and numbers and the birthday boy's photos!

She outdid herself on the party hats, they are totally adorable:

I love the yarn pom pom.

Thanks for sharing Jess. I love everything you made and I can't wait for Luke's big birthday!

Dramatic Wreath!

Shannon is at it again with her Holiday wreaths!

This one is so dramatic and I love it! It looks vintage and glamorous!

I love the bird feathers and the silver and glittered Merry Christmas sign!

Great Job Shannon!

Nicole's Wreath!

Shannon and her sister Nicole have the wreath making bug! Look at this beautiful one that Nicole made!

This is what Shannon says about her sister's wreath:

She took a Styrofoam circle wreath and covered it in ribbon. Then she took the bulbs and hot glued them on. Also I know she put wire behind the ribbon to hang the wreath with for a little strength. I think this is just FABULOUS! I wish I had done this kind instead. I think I may still do it anyways for next year!

You are right Shan, it does look FAB! Good Job Nicole! Shannon estimated that Nicole spent about $35 on the supplies, but that was before all the ball ornaments went on sale, so we were thinking now we could get it done for $12-$15!!

 

Thanks ladies for the picture! Check out Shannon's homemade wreath here!

Poinsettia Wreath

My friend Shannon is a natural at making these GORG Holiday wreaths.

Here is her step-by-step instructions on how she did it!

1. I bought the branch wreath and sprayed it with silver paint.

2. Once dry I took berry branches and intertwined w/ branches of wreath.

3. Then I attached w/beading wire (from Michaels)

4.Then I arranged ornaments, flowers, pinecones and attached them with wire.

And that's it!

She said she got all the stuff at Michaels, Joann's or Garden Ridge!

I love the glittered reindeer! Thanks Shan for this picture! It turned out great, I love the silver and red!!
