On the topic of wreaths -

I find crafty blogs inspirational. I love the idea of seeing something in the store and thinking, "I could make that!" Realistically, I'm not there yet. (Not. At. All. Some women apparently carry chalkboard paint and a sewing machine in their back pocket at all times.)

However, after discovering that wreaths are really expensive, I decided to make one - as in, go to the craft and fabric stores with my 50 percent off coupons in hand.

This wreath was my inspiration. Isn't it too wonderful?

Unfortunately, once you purchase all those little balls of felt, it's still an expensive wreath.

Enter inspiration two from The Crafty Nest.

This is the result:



Isn't it cute? I choose purple so I could be used throughout the spring, instead of just for valentine's day.

Here's a close up:



It took a few hours to cut out felt circles, but it involved no sewing or gluing, so it was definitely my type of project.

Plus, it makes my door look cute.

Happy Wednesday.
