Fall Wreath...it started off as an experiment, just trying out a few things, but I really love how it turned out!  My first foray into the world of burlap and rosettes!  I think I'm going to make another wreath for inside that is wrapped in burlap with a ruffle on the front and back, and I'll just pin on rosettes, flowers, etc. seasonally.  Fun, easy project (with only one hiccup - a blister from the glue gun).

Had to show off my wreath hanger - whoop!

I wish I had used a darker burlap so that it had a little more contrast with our house, but it's as good as it's going to get for this fall!  Next project - decoupaged pumpkins!  I might get one done yet tonight, and I'll post when I can...that's pretty much all that's going on around here - crafts, and playing with my camera.  What better to do on a rainy day? 

 More blanket love...

I loved the sweet pink with this modern fabric!

		My first time attempting binding - made this bias tape using a fabulous tutorial.

Finally finished - this wasn't a difficult project, but I used techniques that were new to me, and the embroidery took some time (but was my favorite part).

This is a standard sized crib blanket - 32 x 42 inches.

More crafting...






This Wednesday I'm hosting a craft party for some ladies at work.  We're going to make some fall wreaths, some tile coasters, and drink a little wine.  I'm going to try to get a sample wreath done before then, and hopefully we'll all wow each other with our craftiness on Wednesday!  I'll post the results...

Happy 10-10-10, y'all!
