Due to nursing school/military wife-ing/mom-ing, my crafting hobby has been put back burner for the past couple years. 2/3 commitments...I can still juggle stuff with, but when I had all 3, it was tough. My #1 hobby is crocheting, but that, unfortunately, is still on hold because I am making myself finish a small cross stitch pillow I started about 2 years ago before I start up again with blankets, purses, home decor, and clothes. At the rate I'm going, I may never resume, but hopefully in the next couple of months. I am hoping cross stitching will replace snacking during reality TV time at night, lol. :o)
Anyway, the girls' school has their bi-annual holiday silent auction this week, so I thought I'd use some residual yarn from a huge splurge 7 years ago to whip up some artsy yarn wreaths, an idea I got from
Etsy.
I opted for a scenic look, a traditional wreath look, a Japanese look, and an Advent calendar. As I have been wanting to make the girls an Advent calendar for about 3 years, we are keeping that one for ourselves. :o)
Auction wreaths:
Our wreath (tootsie roll midgees in each of the origami envelopes, and two dangling holiday chocolates in the middle for Christmas Eve):
