Winter wreath

Remember in my goals post that I said I wanted to do a wreath for every month?

This is the one I made mid-December for January:

I really like it! It's clear that my favorite wreath to work with is the twig-like ones. I feel like I can work better with them. I'm ready to get started on March's.

Merry Christmas from Wyatt

Yah, I do crafts with my 8 month old. They don't always turn out so pretty...you try keeping him from making a fist with finger paint on it. However, it's the thought that counts and we can always look back and say we tried.

Whimsical Christmas Wreath

I am an old married lady.

Why Sarah...why on Earth do you say that?

Easy my friends...

I was crafting on a Friday night.

Long gone are the nights of dressing up looking "h-o-t-t hott."

Instead, I tuck in a little boy at 8:00, crank up some Pandora and set off to make the Davis family a whimsical Christmas wreath that I had been eye-balling on Pinterest...Don't act like you haven't seen the one I'm talking about. I must say, I actually like mine better.

The damage...

 Yes, glitter was everywhere.

 Finished product!

Me likey!!

Have a great weekend!

Wyatt says...

Today, Wyatt would like to tell you:

Hope you're having a great Sunday!!

Pumpkin Patch

Last Sunday we took Wyatt to his (and our) first pumpkin patch. We were actually surprised at how much fun we had. Pictures tell this story a lot better than I can.

Here is Wyatt with his first pumpkin!

Next year will be a lot of fun because he will be bigger and be able to do the hayride. I just love having a baby to do stuff like this with!

Here are all of our pumpkins from the patch...

 I gussied up the tall one. I think it's so cute next to our front door.

Fall wreath

Here is the Davis' new fall wreath!

 I was wanting to make a new fall wreath for us and decided to do one of the rosettes that I love.

Here is what you will need:
-Fabric (I used 3 different ones)
-Felt squares
-Glue gun
-Wreath
-Letter and paint

1. Start by cutting your fabric into 1.5 in wide strips and about 22 in long (small) 45 in long (large). Fold strip in half and glue.
2. Fold the strip over once to the left and again over towards the right, gluing the second fold so that you have a point. Glue the tip to a piece of felt. (I glued all my flowers onto the felt and then cut all out at once. Way easier.)

3. Begin twisting and gluing all the way around. I like the "tighter" look of the flower, so I twisted tight and glued often. Continue doing so until you are finished...and yes, you may feel like you are in the early stage of carpal tunnel.

4. When finished, simply glue the last bit down, let dry and cut out. I've seen some flowers with the frayed look but I didn't care for it in excess, so I trimmed mine up.

Then, all you do is start rearranging and gluing these puppies onto a wreath, with your preferred letter and painted whatever color you desire. It was so simple and I can officially say I am obsessed with my glue gun

Now, just to wait until mid-October or so...or until the Razborback season draws to an end (or earlier if the boys aren't doing so hot!)

Razorback Wreath

In November I made a rag wreath... I put it on the door for Christmas, but recently found another one that I wanted to do for this year and didn't want this one to go to waste. I decided to make it a Razorback one instead. Like?

We most certainly do and are ready to call the Hogs in 3 weeks!
