St. Patrick's Day decor

Top O' the Morning to ya!  

We are getting ready for St. Patrick's Day ya'll!  Are you celebrating this year? Take a look at our wreath ideas and a handmade banner to bring the spirit!  This isn't blarney ya know.  This is a great holiday to bring out the festive side of your Irish heritage.  Even if you are Irish in spirit only...you can still have a great time bringing the green to your home!

Look how great this wreath looks on the front door!  Some full glitter mesh and a green plaid mesh paired nicely with the St. Patty's ribbon we found.  The neighbors love it!

We used a different green plaid mesh with some foil and a dark green smaller mesh on top.  More green ribbon adds a nice shamrock theme!

And don't forget those handmade banners...these are so easy it's a quick decoration you can put together in an afternoon!  Use your Cricut for quick cut outs and add some ribbon and bling.  Voila!  Done!  

Take a look at this beautiful small quilt!  Don't you just love the shamrocks?  I used an old plastic cookie cutter I had to get the shamrock design!  I used invisible appliqué for the design and it turned out great!

We hope you enjoyed our decor!  More to come!

Happy Valentines Day Wreath

Love is in the cold Pennsylvania air! 

Check out this awesome Valentine argyle wreath we made today.

We got some inspiration from Pinterest. But we created our own look for this cheeky Valentine. Using a chunky grey yarn and white sparkle yarn we were able to capture the look of sophistication in this wreath.  

We cut out felt hearts in red and white. You could use any colors you like really! Make it your own!

Pin and share our design with your friends!

We hope you enjoy making this wreath.  It is so pretty in our dining room!

A new design for a mesh wreath!

We were inspired by a wreath done on Mardi Gras Outlet blog! Thanks to their designer for a great tutorial on the ruffle method decomesh wreath!
