Pastel Spring Wreath

I love this time of year, I love Easter and I love all the bright colors that come with spring. I was shopping my local Target and found this adorable yarn wreath. 

I forgot to take a picture of the wreath by itself, with just the yarn. I knew I had to have it when I saw it. It was $12.00 and I could have made one myself but I knew I would spend that much buying all of the different yarns so I purchased it. 

It was a smaller wreath than I usually use so I decided to cut some burlap strips to add to the back. I hot glued them and made small pleats to give it a little fullness. 

Do you know the trick to cutting burlap straight? Simply pull a string all the way across where you want to cut and it will give you a nice straight line to cut. 

I made some flowers out of satin fabric. I used about 10 layers to get a really full flower and before I burn the edges I cut little slits in the circle. It makes them curl up and be more 3 dimensional. 

Here's another trick I always use a glue stick to hold down anything that has hot glue. I won't burn my fingers and the glue stick doesn't stick to the fabric. 

I love all the texture to this wreath, the yarn, the burlap and then the contrast with the satin fabric flowers. 

I just had the outside of the house painted so everything looks so nice and clean. I'm not sure I will get any other decorations up for spring this year but that's ok this brightens up the entrance and makes me happy.

Hippity Hoppity you know what is on it's way!

I have to admit my favorite time to decorate is for Easter. I don't know what it is, I love the colors, I bring in alot of lighter, softer colors and of course the change in the weather makes me want to do something different. Plus it isn't all the work that Christmas decor is.  A couple of tabletops and I'm good! You may remember I made this art for Christmas. I changed out the papers for spring, love!!!

This tree looks good enough to eat, right??? I fell in love with this at Hobby Lobby last year, grabbed it and came home and "planted it" in this little pot that I bought and spray painted from Goodwill. The little bunny with the wagon is very special to me. I painted this 30 years ago when my first son was born. It has his name on an egg, back when there was only one child in the family. :)

And this sweet foil wrapped bunny reminds me of Easter morning, always had a chocolate covered bunny in my basket.

This has to be at the top of my fav flower list. I wish I had some dried in pink.

Pure sweetness, I have a thing for birds!!!
And here is my entry table.

I gave you a sneak peak of part of it here.

I made a little basket for this adorable bunny, sorry about the glare.

Here he is getting some fresh air with the Goodwill cloche gone.

Added a little pink to an arrangement I already had. Can you see what is hiding in there?

Yep, another little bunny!

And some more yummy looking eggs. These little bowls were actually 2 pieces, I glued them together, a small bowl and votive holder, perfect for my need!

And of course a cross to remind of the true meaning of the season.
Next up my front porch. Have you got your Easter decor out yet? What's your favorite holiday to decorate for?

Spring Vignette

Well I finally put out some of my spring/Easter decor. I love to decorate for spring, love the colors and they work in my house really well.

If you come to my blog often you have seen this table. This is my space I decorate instead of my mantle. My mantle is in our man cave, so spring decor just doesn't work there.

Can you tell which flowers are real?

If you guessed the yellow roses you are right. I love these little mini roses.

This little bunny is so sweet, he looks shy.

Isn't he sweet? I scored him at Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago.

And this little guy is new, I had to have him.

Eggs nesting in in some shredded newpaper.

Another little fake plant. You can find some really real looking plants these days.

Here is a final look at it all together. Do you have a special place that you decorate in your home?
