Wordless Wednesday {Snowed In}

All in a Weeks Work

It was my mom's birthday this last Saturday {Happy Birthday, Mom!} On Monday I decided that I wanted to make a warm cozy lap blanket for her {eek!} I fell in love with this pattern so, I bought 12 balls of Homespun yarn {in Tudor} and a size K crochet hook and got to work.

It took about 24 hours of crochet, but I got it done by the time she came to visit on  Monday.  Yep, 7 short days to make an approximately 50 inch square blanket. I think I saw smoke coming from my fingers a few times. It was worth it though.

It's such a warm, snuggley blanket. I actually miss sitting under it while I worked. Looks like I have more yarn to buy...

Seasonal Wall Art

Happy Monday everyone!

Today, I thought I would share an inexpensive way to spice up a large wall with big impact. I actually put this together a few years ago with different paper, but decided to change it up a bit for Valentine's Day.

With a collection of 12 x12 frames {bought at Hobby Lobby on sale for 50% off} and various coordinating prints of pretty scrap book paper {as well a hammer, some nails and a level} The hubs and I put this together in under an hour

The thing I love most about this? It can be changed up in a matter of minutes to match the season or holiday and you can store the out of season paper in the back, so there's nothing to put in storage.

Don't you just love the subway art Valentine's Day paper? I found it at Joann's and knew I had to have it!

I would love to hear if you try this. I know you'll love it. Everyone who walks in my house is dumbfounded by 1.} the fact that I did it myself 2.} how amazing it looks on a large wall 3.} how inexpensive it was to make such a huge impact.
