I have been a busy little bee in the workshop lately, so busy in fact that I've struggled to find time to write new posts!

Budget Christmas Wreath Pt. 2
Along with making the new wreaths I shared in my last post, I have also been giving the wreaths that I have used for years much needed makeovers. Beyond that, I've actually gone into the attic and retrieved all of my florals and garlands to see what sort of refreshing I could do to them … Continue reading Budget Christmas Wreath Pt. 2
Budget Christmas Wreath Pt. 1
Lately I have been slightly addicted to watching YouTube videos of people making Christmas decor out of items purchased at the dollar store; I'm a little obsessed with the idea and I decided I needed to try it myself.

This will not be a sewing tutorial; you do not want to learn how to sew from me! That being said, I'm pretty proud of this finished product. … Continue reading Sew Proud

I thought I'd take a few moments on this snowy Monday to share my most recent Christmas decor project.

However, I do not like the idea of spending money on all those … Continue reading Outdoor Christmas Wreaths
