Now that Little Mister is (gasp) actually taking a nap each day (ranging from 30 minutes to 2+ hours), I'm trying to redeem my "me time" by climbing back on the crafting wagon.
Before baby, I was very into paper-crafts (card-making, scrap-booking, and the like) and sewing/quilting. For my first big post-baby project, I decided to branch out and try one of those amazing yarn-wrapped wreaths that have popped up all over Pinterest. With fall right around the corner, it was the perfect craft for me to tackle--I got to use fun fall colors, and once I
finished, I had something fun and uniquely personal to hang on my front door.
Sorry folks; no tutorial here. There are too many wonderful tutorials already out there for me
to try to replicate what I did. For the one I relied on most, click here. I used less than one "super size" skein of yarn, and a handful of felt in various colors. A little hot glue and a whole lot of patience later, I'm pretty happy with the result. It'll look even better once it cools off enough to repaint my front door "Deep Sea Dive" by Sherwin Williams.
