holiday crafting

The past week or so I've been bit by the holiday crafting bug!

I''ve:
  • bought fabric to make our Wall family stockings
  • knit 2 Christmas monsters
  • bought a foam wreath form to wrap in yarn and decorate for each season/holiday
  • painted a cute halloween spider...thing
  • made felt halloween garland

I've also been working on some non seasonal decor for our little apartment like:
  • red glittery W for dining room wall
  • embroidered 'david & miranda' for dining room wall
  • dyed our headboard fabric
  • painted small crafting tray to keep my projects more contained
  • hung framed prints throughout the apartment
  • added more color to the guest bathroom
  • so much more I'm sure...

Our apartment is starting to really feel like home. I'm SO excited to start decorating for Christmas (after Halloween)!!

I hope to have pictures soon I promise. I always want to take pics at night and the light is just plain bad so I'm hoping to take some this afternoon :)

It's crazy hot here in Texas this summer. Makes it hard to knit sometimes. I started a new job last week and am trying to adjust my crafting needs around that. Weirdly enough, I've finished more projects around the apartment since I started working again than I did when I was home all day...silly.

Today I made a pillow case and curtains AND hung them. Pictures soon I hope :)

Tomorrow we head out to east Texas for some family reunion fun!
