Okay, I know it’s early. But I saw this cute tutorial over at Good Knits and I couldn’t help myself.

This wreath took about an hour to make. It’s not hard to do (it’s pretty much the same technique as  my Embellished Flip Flops), just tedious. I changed the edging to shells for mine, and I want to add some flowers or other pretty things to it soon. The way things have been going lately, I knew I better sit down and do it the minute I bought the wreath form, or else! And yep, it’s been sitting on my table for a week waiting for the finishing touches…just as soon as I get through my never-ending pile of deadlines. Mmhmm. Yeah, I didn’t even weave in the ends yet.  Oh, and I used Brown Sheep Burly Spun (way less than a skein–the remains are in the ball in the pic) to make this– here is  my ravelry page for slightly more details.

If you’re looking for more quick and fun holiday decor items, you might want to check out some of my free (old, but free!) tutorials–Autumn Leaves and Sweet and Simple Xmas Ornaments.  I just found a baggie of the leaves I made a few years ago when I was cleaning out my craft supplies, and it made me smile. Oh, and I can’t forget my Turkey Day Place Cards–from 2007. Eons ago! Still cute, though!

Speaking of cute, thanks for all your nice comments on my puppy post. He’s very spoiled. He  has a hard life, doesn’t he? I added a  new category to my blog: Crazy Dog Lady. You’ve  been warned.
