Boo!
Did I scare you?
No? Okay.
So somehow I managed to miss decorating my house for autumn this year, which is highly unusual for me since this is my favorite season. I just chocked it up to being super busy with work.

Happy harvest everyone!
I love pumpkin everything!!!
Autumn is my most favorite season and I just adore pumpkins—carving them, eating foods made from them and, best of all, decorating with them!

Happy 4th of July!
Summer is in full swing now. The days are long and the sun is HOT! And because of Memorial Day, the 4th of July and Labor Day, how could we not celebrate America all summer long? Personally, I keep Americana decorations up all year, but summer tends to be the peek of country pride season.

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya!
Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
Who doesn’t need some extra luck in their lives? I know I always can!
St. Patrick’s Day is one of those holidays that I really don’t have many decorations for…certainly not as much as Halloween or Christmas. If you’ve seen any of my other posts, you may notice that I love garlands!
I knew that I wanted to make a St. Patrick’s Day Wreath and my mom actually suggested that I try wrapping one of my garlands around a wreath frame to give it a ruffly appearance.
So I tried it and it didn’t work, but I liked where she was going with that idea. After thinking about it for a week or so, it finally came to me. I could make three separate garland pieces, stitch the bases together and wrap that around the wreath frame. Bingo!
And how fun to change up the colors instead of one solid color! I couldn’t wait to try it!

Valentine’s Day Wreath
Valentine’s Day Wreath
Hey Everyone!
I have to say—love is in the air! And what a better way to show it than with your very own crocheted heart shaped Valentine’s Day Wreath.
Originally I had made a round wreath. It was nice, but it wasn’t really screaming Valentine’s Day to me. (This was back in February.) I actually stumbled upon a heart shaped wreath form when I was out shopping one day and stuffed it in my cart immediately with zero hesitation! It was perfect! There would be absolutely no mistaking which holiday this wreath was dedicated to.

There are quite a few archways in my house and for some reason I feel like they need some sprucing up. They just look so naked. What better (and more flexible) way to highlight these architectural designs then by lining the arches with crocheted garlands!
Even my husband likes them, so they must not be too girly.
If you could see our house, it is decorated with country/rustic items: deer, black bears, grubby candles and oil lanterns. When I was growing up I never thought that was how my house would be decorated, but the truth is that I love it! I’ve always been fond of nature, the outdoors and animals. As a child, I played in the woods behind our house, building forts and swimming in a creek that I later found out had poisonous snakes in it! Yikes!

This past February I went a little nuts designing and creating crocheted decorations for Valentine’s Day. I was trying to build up enough inventory for when I opened my Etsy shop and launched my blog. I had the idea to make the word “Love” into a vertical hanging sign. And how cute to make the “O” a heart instead!
So I sat down with my graph paper and graphed out a heart design. With my favorite crochet hook, I grabbed some Red Heart Yarn that I had left over from another project and got to work. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out, but I kept going anyway. The final result ended up being a really cute wall hanging decoration!
