There is some crafting go on over here at the House of Kells.

I went to Joanne’s yesterday with coupon in hand, and I was not afraid to use it.

I bought yarn, fabric, stocking stuffers, and got the creative juices flowing for some Christmas crafting fun.  I say Christmas, because I have never really been into fall crafting.  I love the leaves, I crazy love the colors, but I am a spring girl.  I love when everything comes alive and the bright colors encompass all that I see.

One thing I am going to make for the month of November, is a wreath.  I enjoyed the Halloween wreaths I made, so I wanted to make one for the fall.

Now, all of my ideas come from Martha, Pinterest, or other blogs.  There are some seriously creative people out there.  I am jealous of the time they take to craft.  I am working on organizing my own little craft corner.  It has been decided that I need an outlet.

Here are some wreaths I am interested in making.

I love the colorful flowers.

What is not to love about this.  I could switch out the fabric, add a little foliage, and presto.

The possibilities are endless.

Currently, I am working on this.

It is my first cowl.  It is my first time to knit in the round.  I am crazy excited about this.  My wish is to be able to knit cardigans.  Then, my knitting life would be complete.  I am using my favorite chunky yarn by Lion Brand called Thick and Quick.  I think someone was in a very randy mood when naming this yarn.  Lol.   I wish I could explain in words, how cathartic knitting is to me.

I am currently coming up with a list of Christmas crafts to make, not to mention the yummy things I am going to bake.  One recipe being my mom’s super duper yummy sugar cookies.  It does not matter how many times I make them, they never taste liker hers.  This year I will prevail.

I also stopped at Home Goods, and bought an inspirational journal to write my thoughts, ideas, to dos, recipes, crafts, and blog ideas in.

I truly believe this, and am going to live it.

Craft On!
