Crafty

I have been feeling very "crafty" since we moved in to our new house last year.  I have started to accumulate a lot of fun projects that I have worked on.  So I thought I would post them :)

Christmas Wreath made from scratch

This Easter wreath took me about a month to complete.  I took plastic easter eggs and wrapped them with yarn and a hot glue gun.  Then I glued them on to a foam circle.  It took me a lot longer than I thought when I had the idea but I really love how it turned out.

Menu board for weekly meal planning.  It has really made planning out the week's meals a lot less stressful.  It has helped save money too because I am making less trips to the grocery store.  

I made this vase for Cate's preschool teacher as an end of the school year gift.  I just hot glue gunned pencils around a glass vase and then finished it off with some rope on the top and bottom of the pencils.  I think this is so cute and it was really easy to make.

I made this floral wreath for our front door.  I made this from scratch by cutting and glueing fake flowers from Michael's to a foam circle.  I love how it turned out and I especially love the bright and vibrant colors.

When Eric and I were up in Fort Collins for Q's graduation we stopped in to the ARC thrift store to see what hidden treasures they might have.  I saw this desk (only $30) and immediately knew that I had to refinish it for Cate's room.  So here is the before picture...

And here it is after I painted it the colors that are already in Cate's room.  I can't wait to show it to her and put it in her room!
