More Fall


Thanks to a busy work schedule, I haven't had the time or energy to write up blog posts. Projects have still been happening, though, so at least I have plenty of material when I finally do sit back down to do some more writing.

This project was super easy. I found a stash of wheat wrapped in a plastic bag at a thrift store for $1. The hubs thought it was strange - "You could just walk out of here with that and people would think it was trash." We just separated them into three groups and stuck them in skinny vases.




Nice and simple, just like Fall decor should be.

Fall Wreath


Although it's not technically fall, I am acting like it is. I'm a teacher, so in my mind, fall begins on the first day of school. I tried to be patient and waited until September came before I started decorating. The first order of business was to create a new wreath for the front door.



















The four supplies used (brown yarn, mustard yarn, ribbon, and wreath form) were each purchased at the thrift store for $1.00 each, so the total cost was around $4.00. It took about an hour to wrap the whole thing with two layers of yarn. I tried watching "Less Than Perfect" because Hulu thought I would like it. Hulu doesn't know me. The show was weird.
But it wasn't a complete waste, because now I have this wonderful fall wreath hanging up.
