Twine & Feather Wreath: Mini Me Version

This week has flown by in a weird way.

I know that fall break will fly by too.

I spent yesterday at the pumpkin patch for little man's field trip.

And today we're headed to the fair for a bit.

Then it's working on projects and painting the enormous airmoire that's around half-finished.

I'm excited to see some projects finished :)

Remember my feather wreath I showed you last week?

I made the mini-me version too.

I told you, I'm obsessed with the whole wrapping the wreath part.

It's soothing somehow.

And gives me something to do while watching the Sing off with hubby.

So...mini me feather wreath...with twine this time.

I'm in love with the texture of twine and it worked perfectly on this wreath.

It's a smaller wreath form so wrapping it took no time at all :)

And the fact that all I did was wrap it with twine and then hot glue a feather embellishment from Hobby Lobby onto it didn't seem to warrant a full tutorial so all you get is pretty pics :)

I love this little wreath...

and it's a great, easy touch of fall.

Oh...here's another peek of fall at the pumpkin patch...

Little man loved the punkins!

I hope you guys have a great weekend!!!

I'm planning on enjoying my small break so that I can face the chaos of school again next week.

I'd love to see YOUR fall wreaths- head over to my facebook page and share them there!!

On another note:

**I'm looking for some fun giveaways to host during the week of November 14-18th for a fun Christmas event I'm doing- if you're interested, shoot me an email and I'd love to work with you on setting it up!!**

A Fall Wreath with Yarn & Feathers

Remember way back when I showed you guys some loot I got at Michaels on my FB?

I actually used most of it that very night...and am just now getting to show you one of those projects :)

I love how this turned out and love how easy it was.

Nothing crazy out of the ordinary but simple and perfectly fall!

And just a splash of what was the hit fad of the year- feathers.

Here's some of what I picked up on my shopping trip:

And no, not all of that was for my wreath :)

The only supplies I used were a wreath form, some feathery yarn and the feather pick you see in the picture.

Here's where I was a bad blogger and didn't take a picture of me wrapping the wreath.

Insert sheepish grin here.

I'm pretty sure I was watching Friday Night Lights while I was wrapping it so...yea...distraction.

But if you need some guidance I have several other yearn wreaths here, here and here.

This feathery yarn was way easy because it filled in the gaps a lot faster.

Thinner yarn takes a lot longer, let me tell ya.

After I wrapped the whole thing, I just stuck the feather pick in.

It was in really good so no glue needed.

And seriously, it was that easy.

I am in love with those yellow feathers.

Oh...so I lied just a little.

I DID end up adding a few covered buttons just for some more spice.

I covered two with linen and one with burlap.

I'm loving the fact that I can cover buttons with whatever fabric I want :)

Makes life so much more fun.

My little photo-shoot turned into an all out battle with the sun.

I ended up all over the yard trying to find a decent place to take pictures.

Oh, the things we do for blog posts :)

It's nice to know that when the feather hair trend wears out, feathers will still look good on your door!

(and guys, these feathers were wayyyy cheaper than my hair ones...)

So there it is... my little yarn feather wreath.

All ready to enjoy a pretty fall.

Now if Arkansas would just get on board with that.

No more ninety degree weather, kay? Thanks.

What do you think?

Are you in love with feathers?

I hope you guys are enjoying your week,

I'm sad that this is my last week of clinicals.

I'm not ready to return to the harsh world of OT school and am loving my kiddos way too much.

Friday is going to be hard :/

Happy mid-week guys!!
