With Fall fast approaching that means the holidays are right on our heels. During the Fall and into Winter I love hanging wreaths around the house. I prefer fun, funky non-traditional wreaths though. This week I created a wreath using vintage pillowcases cut into strips and tee-shirt yarn to wrap a wreath form that I picked up for a buck at my local dollar store. Then I used the same materials plus some hot pink rope on the Provo Craft Knifty Knitter (smallest size Flower Loom) to make flowers for the base of the wreath. I am so excited about using thrifted recycled materials, bright colors and flowers. Click here for the complete tutorial: T-Shirt Yarn Wreath Happy Crafting xoxo Lovely Lula

When I was in college I used to make painted floor cloths all the time but it had been years. I was inspired of late to get back at it. However, instead of hand painting the whole deal I painted just the background color and then used the Cricut to cut out a tea set from the Heritage Cartridge. I then used the YUDU to screen-print the tea set design onto my floor cloth! So Happy – I love it! This little yummy greets you at my front door as you enter my house. It is hard to tell in this shot but it is 5.5 feet long by 2.5 high. For a tutorial click here: Tea Set Floor Cloth How To. Happy Crafting xoxo LL
Oh what fun I had making tee-shirt yarn this week. I also made many projects out of the yarn but I will save those for another post. Making tee-shirt yarn is such a great way to recycle dingy tees from your own collection or take advantage of dollar days at your local thrift store. I personally super deluxe love to thrift shop. On those days when I don’t have anything in particular in mind to hunt for I’ll often just pick up mens’ extra large tees and cut them into yarn when I return to my studio.
