Projects around the home!

The past month I have been feeling very crafy and wanting to get our house into more of a crafty homey kinda feel. I don't know how to explain! My DREAM home would be a cottagey, vintagey, crafty, kinda home! Lots of whites, greys with pops of color! And for Adrian's sake we would have some modern flair to it! He is all about the modern look, I am more about the character old homes!

Anyways, I decided to do some crafts that I have been wanting to do for a long time, and since the weather has been crisp, it was the perfect time to start some!!

Here are a couple of the crafts that I am DONE...

 
This the WINTER wreath that I made! It took me all day! Ususally crafts that should take maybe half an hour to an hour take me all day! That is life being a mother! Hayden was VERY good helper!
 
 
 
I am not TOTALLY sure if I like it, I feel that it is missing something! This one will go on the front door!
 
 
This here is our FALL wreath that I made for our front door! I do need to add more flowers though! I ran out of felt and living in a town where supplies are next to none, I will have to wait till I go to the BIG city!
 
 
This wreath is hanging on our main entrance door! It seems like we have lots of doors!
 
 
 
 
(sorry the pic is blurry, it was taken with my iPod!)
This was SO east to make! Orignally the frame was red and was a chalkboard in Hayden's room but after tearing the frame down EVERY day, I kinda got sick of putting it back up all the time (he now has a chalkboard WALL!) So, I painted the frame white, got little clothes pins, macked tacked the pins, glue gunned them, put twine up and DONE! Easy and it only took me 2 evenings! I happy with the way it turned out! I wanna put different pictures up though. I wanna get polaroids done! There is this website called PicMonkey, and you can edit your pictures to make them look like polaroids!
 
(again it is an iPod picture)
 
Hayden has started to do some "coloring" and crafts and our fridge was starting to get full with all his colorings and paintings! So, I made this little corkboard frames and put them in our hallway! Super easy, and super fun!
 
And that is what I have been doing in the afternoons and evenings! Thanks to my hubby for all the help!
 
Here is a peak on what I am working on...
 
 
I think this is the CUTEST!
 
Adrian is cutting the wood and hopefully it will be done by halloween!
 
I love fall!
