it holiday wreath time once again

I have been REALLY wanting to change my Christmas decor colors (normally red and pink on our white tree) for a few years now but it's just too expensive and we don't have the storage space for any more holiday stuff in our little townhouse. So this year I decided to change things up by making a ton of paper ornaments from kraft paper and old book pages, both of which I have plenty of to use. And I can also use the champagne colored ornaments I already have to add some sparkle to the decor. So I am super excited to get this party started. Let the crafting begin!

Thanks to this great tutorial over at See You There I made this great toilet paper/paper towel roll wreath. Apparently this is the year for wreath making since I am also going to be making a book page wreath in the next few weeks. Both of these wreaths are super cheap and easy so definitely try them!

stringed ampersand

i was super bored because my husband is traveling and wanted to do some art but something super simple so i could still pay attention to the movie i was watching. i'm not sure if i want to do any more for my etsy shop or not or just have this as a one-of-a-kind thing. i do really like how it turned out and so i adorned my letters with it.

calendar time once again

it's time once again to create new calendars for the etsy shop. i don't normally do it until october but people seem in a rush to get 2011 over and 2012 on the walls. so here are the first two for the new year. these along with all of my quilling and pantone magnets can all be purchased in my etsy store here.

a little home and some harry potter quilling

my family has some major harry potter love which inspire an art piece of the platform 9 3/4 sign from the movie. it isn't the same as the actual platform at king's cross and neither is the sign (unfortunately since the movie version is way more fun and awesome). my sister thought people would like it so i made it.

i am constantly trying to think of fun new ideas of things people would like to decorate their homes with while i am still riding this quilling obsession. so i also made a new HOME wall art that i really like as well. enjoy!!

both are available in my esty store here.

i've been a busy little bee

i have been making a ton of new craftiness for my etsy shop and wanted to share.

some quilled LOVE

busy little bee

i sold THREE ampersand pieces to the same lovely lady so i had to restock my etsy store. so i busted out some more and added these super great initial monograms. it's like a letter factory up in this house but i am enjoying the creative outlet when not doing my design day job. every girl's gotta have a hobby! both are available in my etsy store.
