I decorated a new grapevine wreath for our front door.
I used red berries, a chipper Cardinal, and some printed ribbon with floral wire and my trusty glue-gun. Cinnamon scented pinecones were daubed with vanilla paint to look like snow. I purchased everything from Michael’s. I can’t wait to do something to my stair rails, too.
Happy decorating!
Love,

Mom Sullivan and I attended a craft show. We didn’t see too many things that interested us, but I did come home with a few items.
A basket for the stairs. I’ve wanted one of these for a while now as I usually just set things on the steps to remind me to take them upstairs. Now it will maybe look neater and the items will stay contained.
Our front porch was looking a little sad, especially after our neighbor put out fall flowers, a wreath, and even a scarecrow. After decorating the bank for fall, I was definitely in the mood to make my home festive, too. Thankfully Hobby Lobby and Michael’s had their fall decor items on sale.
I purchased the little pumpkins at Hobby Lobby along with a garland of fall leaves that I cut up for the wreath. The mums are from Mom Sullivan purchased through Lee’s school. And everything else is from Michael’s.
Bunting is all over the sewing/crafting blog-world, and I’ve always liked it, I just didn’t know how I wanted to incorporate it in my house. I LOVE seasonal fabric, but never know what to do with it. Duh! How about seasonal bunting for all of my decorating needs?!
I did some sewing for my dear Dad Knapp. He likes to sit in his easy chair with a large Coke and watch sports. Therefore, I sewed up a set of coasters that feature four popular athletic balls (football, soccer, baseball, and basketball) on one side and gray with scarlet “writing” on the other. The scarlet and gray coordinate with the living room and, more importantly, they are the colors for Ohio State University.
He is risen!
To celebrate Easter, I sewed up some massive Peeps (pattern courtesy of Dandelions and Lace). Aren’t they cute?
I made Angry Birds for Lee for Christmas along with a promise to make more of the characters. Unfortunately, I hadn’t been able to locate the proper shades of green fleece for the pigs. Darling Mom Sullivan to the rescue! She sent me some green fleece and matching threads. Here are the results:
Lee, I love you, and your pigs are on their way!
Love,
Tiff
