What do you do when you are decorating for fall and your mantel is just missing something. There is a giant space in the middle of your favorite mirror and you have nothing on hand that works right. Go shopping? Well, that would be my first inclination too BUT I had a sleeping three year old and no parental back up…oh, and an overwhelming need to get this done now! So, I ran down to my craft area and gathered up a few random supplies to throw together a mini burlap wreath for fall.

Spooky Eyeball Wreath
I was never really into Halloween decorating until I moved into our current neighborhood. In our townhouse, we always put out pumpkins and passed out candy to any trick or treaters that came by. When we moved into our current house, all that just seemed to be way too low key considering all the decorating that was going on around us. So, slowly, we’ve been accumulating decorations at the after holiday sales to add to our collection. Of course, it helps if you can make some of your decorations too so I created this spooky eyeball wreath this year.

Fall Felt Leaf Wreath
September is always a funny month here. One day {yesterday} it still feels like summer with temperatures above 90 degrees. Then, the next {today} the temperature will top out in the 70s. It is really hard to feel like decorating for one season or another because you are constantly being thrown between two seasons. I didn’t let the hot weather stop me though from starting on my fall decorating. I used the heat as a reason to stay inside and test out my new hot glue gun instead creating my fall felt leaf wreath.

Flashback: Summer Wreath with Flip Flops
This post originally appeared last year but I wanted to share it again as part of my flashback series.
This summer wreath is made out of the quintessential summer item: flip flops!
For me, that means flip flops are pretty much all you see on my feet. The only exception is if I am heading to a meeting and, then, I throw on a pair of heels for the duration. In my mind, flip flops = summer!
I wanted to change up some of the decorations on the house for summer and started with the front door. Can you guess where this going?
Yep, I flip flopped my front door.

St Patrick’s Day Crafts – Yarn Wreath
We don’t do a whole lot of St Patrick’s Day crafts in our house. We aren’t Irish or anything so I typically add a few touches of green around the house and then get started on the Easter decor. I try to always change the wreath on the door though and, like last year, I made a new wreath for the holiday.

A Not So New Fall Wreath
Ok, my dear friends…I have a confession: I fell way behind on my craft plans {thanks to a certain house renovation project…ahem} and didn’t make a new wreath for fall/Thanksgiving. I know…it gives me the sads too.
Never fear: I’m bringing back a blast from the past and sharing the wreath I made last year for fall. It is, after all, what is living on my front door this year. {A bonus: I took a few more pictures of it with my slightly improved photography skills}
