Springtime in Texas

Spring is such a fun season. Flowers are blooming all around, temperatures are bearable, rain is replenishing the earth, the grass is green and people are generally happy. It's really hard to be inside working during the week when the outdoors are so inviting during this season. 

Here are a few things I've done so far this spring.

I got 26 daisies in 1 day. They make me so happy!

Gave Kallie a warm weather haircut. She so cute.

Having daisies in my yard is so awesome. Free decorations!

Granny gave me this Easter lily when she came to visit for Easter.

Ran the Blue Bell 10K with Lynette. Free ice cream at the end is always worth it.

Made a tiffany wreath for mom.

Helped my friend Shely make her first wreath. It turned out awesome!

What have you been up to this spring??

A Spring Wreath for Mom

I made this oh so cute wreath for my mom for spring and I want to steal it! It's white and Tiffany blue. I followed the tutorial here!

Kinda blurry, but the final product.

Mom and I both like the rustic look so I didn't spray paint the wreath white like the tutorial said to. I used flannel fabric for the rolled flowers. I had no idea how much time it would take to trace, cut and roll the flowers. Let me tell you, it took 30 minutes to do 2 flowers. I could not have done this in 1 day. But the fabulousness of this wreath is worth the time and effort! Don't you agree?

Acorn Wreath

The inspiration for this wreath came from this blog: MADE. What I love about this wreath is that it was practically free and it can be painted a different color for each season. All you need is a straw wreath (use your 40% off Hobby Lobby coupons ladies), acorns, hot glue, and spray paint. How simple is that?

If you are planning to make this wreath, I must give you one crucial piece of advice. BAKE OR BOIL YOUR ACORNS! DO IT! Want to know the consequence for not doing it? Maggots. Yuck. The end.

I decided to paint it a Valentine's color since that was the nearest holiday. 

I'm thinking aqua or yellow next for Easter. :)

Aggie Wreath

Happy Friday everyone!! I finally finished the wreath I was working on. I was going to make an autumn wreath, but I wasn't sure I would finish before fall was over, so I decided on an Aggie wreath. It has a little owl looking over at a football. Football season is right around the corner so I'm showing my Aggie spirit on my front door! Whoop and Gig 'Em!!!
