Pine Cone Heart Wreath

I sooo need to make one of these gorgeous pine cone wreaths! Maybe then I can have a slight excuse for my obsession with pine cone collecting. :)

Found on Le Souk

Yarn & Ornament Wreath

Lovely! Too bad I don't currently have the time or energy right now. A baby really does change everything.

Using Your Leftovers: Tissue Paper Roses

 
With just having had our baby shower a few weeks ago, we are up to our eyeballs in tissue paper. My husband will just toss the stuff out - but I managed to hoard most of it up and away for future use. I love this idea from Paper Crave - tissue paper roses! Gorgeous!

Craft Inspiration: Pottery Barn Frame Jewerly Holders

I'm inspired! My current jewerly holder doesn't hold earrings well. I am thinking a little white frame strung with wire will work just perfectly! :)

Inspiration from Pottery Barn

(but I'll be frame shopping at Goodwill)

Cupcake Garland

Love this fabulous idea for garland - cupcake liners! Definitely a must for my next cupcake swap!!

Found on 100 Layer Cake

Getting all sorts of crafty inspirations as of late! Here's the latest sewing project that has me itching to stitch. A lovely tote from the crafty blogger over at Cicada Daydream. I love the colors - I love the simple design. I love it! Can't wait to get home and sew!!! I have a few birthdays coming up and this is exactly the push I needed to get crafting!!

Free Valentine's Day Treat Bag Graphic from Twig & Thistle

The ever-creative bloggers at Twig & Thistle posted a DIY Sweetheart Brownie Valentine post earlier this week that I've been meaning to bookmark. If I had a little more time this year (and I still might!) I would have made these for everyone at work and all our friends and family. Too cute!

Making It Lovely always has such darling ideas for her home - such an inspiration! These are the adorable paper ornaments she made with instructions from design*sponge. Gorgeous!

Knitted Floor Poofs

I MUST figure out how to knit a few of these! What size of needle would it take?? 20? I hope some savvy knitter (like Cami) can help me figure out a way to reproduce these marvelous poofs because goodness knows I don't have $800-$1,600 to slap down for just one of these puppies!

Found on Haute Nature, sold at DWR, made by Christien Meindertsma a dutch designer. See more of her work at These Flocks.

Festive Dog Embroidery

As if I needed another reason to learn how to embroider...cute!
