St Patrick’s Day Crafts – Yarn Wreath

March 5, 2013 By Shannah 8 Comments

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.

Egg-i-licious Wreath for Easter

March 19, 2012 By Shannah 26 Comments

My wreath obsession is no secret around here.  I can point you to several examples {like here, here, and here} where I have made multiple wreaths in a short time period.  Mathlete actually complains that he always comes home to a new wreath.  This one last went up yesterday after our St. Patrick’s Day wreath came down and I actually plan to leave it up for a few weeks until Easter comes.  {Shocker, I know}
Take a look at my wreath for Easter:

Halloween Spider Wreath – Going on a CraDat

September 22, 2011 By Shannah 76 Comments

Like how I just created a new word up there?  I know you do!  Here is another one for you: Shaliz.  Look at that one like you do celebrity couples where they smash their two names together to make one ridiculous name.  No, I didn’t drink a bottle of wine and (surprisingly) have gotten a decent amount of sleep so I’m not dilirious either.  So, what am I talking about?  A Halloween spider wreath of course. 

On Friday, I had a Craft Date with Liz!  See Cra + dat = CraDat.  (Sorry but crate would have been too easy and would have ruined my word making up mojo!)  Shannah (me!) + Liz = Shaliz.  So, now that you’ve been entrusted with a handy, dandy Just Us Four decoder ring (keep it handy, you never know when I might throw out a new word), I can get into the details of our cradat.

Like all good (and bad) things, the idea for this sprung from Pinterest.

Liz and I are both pretty addicted and constantly repin each others’ finds.  So, Liz decided we needed to get together and make some of our pins.  Dozens of emails and texts (you’re welcome, Verizon, for all the money you got from those texts) later, our cradat was born and a project was chosen.  A halloween wreath.  What?  Are you surprised we are making a wreath?  Do you even read this blog? 🙂
We started with a few inspiration pictures:
