The Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 12, Pom Pom Wreath.


 Well here we are on the last day of My Twelve days of Christmas Crafting. Phewww I did it!
 This was an idea I got from a wonderful friend of mine Karen Miller, except she used the loopy yarn and put trees in the bottom. It was so beautiful and  I was so inspired, that I had to make one too. The one thing was they only had one package of loopy yarn, and it just wasn't enough so I used a vintage white, big blanket yarn, instead. I also  used different sized Pom Poms instead of Trees.  This would be so cute with little hearts hanging for Valentines day or Little snowmen for January. Whatever you decide to do with it is up to you, and making it personal is what Crafting and Diy-ing is all about.
I hope all of you had a Very Merry Christmas. Mine was spent with Family, eating, opening gifts, laughing  and Playing Werewolf( if you haven't heard of it, look it up, its great to play with a big group of people.)I hope All of you Had a Beautiful Christmas.

 Little Tinsel Trees are everywhere this season. Wouldn't it be nice if you could make one yourself and in  the color you want.
These cute little Trees are super easy to make and with a few supplies you could have your very own Tinsel Tree Town.
Hey everyone and welcome to Day 11, of my "Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting" I am on the last two DIY's of this Christmas series.

Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 10, Christmas, Tree Tea Towels


 I am on the last couple of Projects for my 12 Days of Christmas Crafting. Next Christmas I am going to Start way earlier.  Even though I loved every second of doing it, Time always seemed to be pushing against me.  Even though I only have two projects left my wish would have been to have been finished about a week ago or a little earlier. It is what is this year .
 Next year will be different.
These cute little Tea Towels are really easy to make and you can do any design you would like. Hearts, Birds, flags, Snowmen.When you want to personalize something this is just the ticket.
When I  Am done with my Twelve days I am making a ton of these, in  different themes.
I hope you are all enjoying family and friends this Christmas season because it is truly all we really have, the friends and family in our lives are our greatest gifts.
Make sure they know how important they are.

The Twelve Days of Christmas of Christmas Crafting: Day 9, Felted Polka Dot Sweater.





 Day 9, Of my Twelve days of  Christmas Crafting. I really wanted to do a Christmas Fashion DIY  in one of these  projects.  I have seen so many cute Retro Polka Dots this Holiday Season I thought it would look wonderful on a sweater. Felting is always an  awesome way to get that look store bought look . It is also pretty easy to accomplish and does not take that much time. I did this sweater in about an hour.
All you need is a few felting supplies.( I found all of mine at Hobby Lobby)
Do not waist your time looking at Michael's they have nothing there for felting.
This Sweater turned out just as I imagined, and I love it so much I was thinking of polka dot felting everything. I think a polka dot tea towel would be awesome for my kitchen.
 Enjoy

The Twelve Days Of Christmas Crafting: Day 5, Tinsel Stars.


 Yesterday, I Kind of took the day off of Blogging and deep cleaned my kitchen so I could decorate for Christmas. What was suppose to take about an hour or two ended up taking about four hours because I had to redo some of the light that had gone out on my Kitchen tree. (Boo) That was almost how every tree was this year One strand of lights out, 8 stands on the tree, now you have to find the broken lights, then replace them  , Not fun if your all finished decorating.
Today I spent the day with my daughter Filming some more Craft Tutorials, and coming up with new Christmas crafts ideas. I love our Thursdays together, they are so very Special.
This Star Tinsel tutorial is so easy to make. They could be an ornament or a wall hanging or tag on a gift. endless possibilities. I just love endless possibilities.

 On the  Third day We make A Cinnamon Christmas Macrame Wall Hanging.
There are so many beautiful Macrame wall hangings out there.  I thought I would put a little Christmas spin on the one we did. It only took me an my daughter an hour to make the basic macrame and about 10 min to add the Christmas charm. My Daughter and I had such a wonderful time crafting creating together. Such great memories to have for a lifetime.
