Little & Quick: Valentine’s Day Burlap Wreath

On January 26, 2017January 26, 2017 By ArlynnIn Burlap Wreath, Seasonal Decor6 Comments

Okay, go ahead, call me anal retentive, you’d be smack dab on the money if you did…lol. 😉 All right, so some of you may have seen my blog post about this my Large Cream and Red Burlap Valentine’s Wreath:

I made that wreath to hang on my front door for February…Here is my YouTube Tutorial if you are at all interested btw….

ANYway, I knew that I’d be changing out my Little Red Wagon decor for Valentine’s Day as well, so I decided that I would make a matching baby wreath to go along with that big one to use as an accent piece in the wagon. I’ve made a YouTube video tutorial of me making that little wreath as well, I’ll post a link below, but first, here are the supplies that you’d need if you’d like to try one for yourself–it really is very quick and extremely easy, I promise:

1- 12″ Metal Work Wreath
White Pipe Cleaners (to add to the work wreath)
1 Roll of 9″ x 10 yards of Off-White Burlap
1- Roll of Red Wired Burlap Ribbon
1 Stem of Red Flowers
1 Cream Burlap Flower
5- Valentine Heart and Berry Picks (I got mine from AC Moore)

Here is the finished wreath:

And here is me holding both wreaths together:

And here is how that little wreath looked when I put it into my little red wagon:

And a picture of the front porch done up for Valentine’s Day. **BTW**, I’ve made a brand new Home Tour Series for my YouTube channel–I’ll be writing a separate post and I’ll give you all of those links in there, but, I will stick a link for the one where I show you more of how I decorated the outdoor spaces for Valentine’s Day.

Okie dokie…Now for those links:

Here is the link for this sweet little red and cream burlap wreath:

And here is a link to one of my Home Tour Series videos that show you my other outdoor Valentine’s Day decorations and also tells you about the other outdoor choices that we made when building this home:

Stay tuned for the rest of my Home Tour Series videos as I’ll be writing that little blog soon (you can always find them in my “Country Home Tour Series” playlist on my YouTube channel if you’d like to go and take a peek. 🙂

Until next time, y’all take good care!!

Valentine’s Day Cream Burlap Wreath

On January 13, 2017January 13, 2017 By ArlynnIn Burlap Wreath6 Comments

I decided on a whim last weekend that I would throw together a quick, but, very large Valentine’s Day wreath for my front door. I already had most of the supplies that I would need as I utilized some of the left-overs from when I made my cousin Stacey’s Cream on Cream Burlap Wreath.

I created a YouTube tutorial video when I made this wreath and I’ll put a link below, but, first here is a supply list:

1 – 24″ Metal Work Wreath with the chenille ties already attached
1 – 14″ x 10 yard Skein of Cream (or Off-White) Burlap
1 – 5.5 ” x 15′ Roll of Red Burlap
Red Silk flowers of your choosing
1 Cream Burlap Flower of your choosing
1 – Happy Valentine’s Day Sign
Scissors, Wire Cutters, Pipe Cleaners, & Hot Glue Gun

Here is the finished wreath:

It is quite large, it measures 30″ across…

I am loving this cream burlap you guys and paired with the pop of that red burlap and flowers, I am thrilled with how this turned out. 🙂 I will hang it out on my front door pretty soon so that we can enjoy it from now through February. 🙂

Here is that link to my YouTube Tutorial:

Christmas Switch-Out: Living & Dining Rooms, Outdoor Decor, and Bonus Snow Doggies

On January 9, 2017 By ArlynnIn Country Decor2 Comments

Ding, ding, ding!! 😉 I am finally finished with all of my redecorating tasks for this Christmas Season, whew, that was a bit of a marathon this year. Well, if truth be told, it is every year, but the good thing about the passage of time is that it helps one to forget the difficult parts of tasks and only remember the good feeling that one gets when said tasks are completed. So as I do every year, I had approached this year’s redecorating with the same fervor that I do every year. 🙂

I will give you links to my two YouTube videos where I show and tell you how I completed all of the decorating and in addition, I provide a few tutorials–two lantern centerpieces and one of a centerpiece around my Grandma’s lamp in the dining room. Here are a few pictures of what is featured in the first video link…”Episode #4″:

Here are a few pictures of the second link I will provide for you below. In this I will show you how I decorated the outdoor spaces (in the freezing cold weather…gracious I was shivering while trying to talk…haha).

All righty…Here are those two links—**Stay tuned though** as I will also share some pictures of the pups in the little snowstorm that we got the other day as well as show you a little video of them romping around a bit. 🙂

We got about 3 inches of snow the other day, and our 3 pups had a great time playing around in it–and are still having fun going outside and just plopping down in it. The temperatures have been so cold that the snow is still laying pretty much where it fell.

They had a blast playing out there, we didn’t get too much snow, but, it was enough to provide some entertainment and a couple of good romps for all three of them–Sophie and Gracie are both 9 years old now, they acted like they were 9 months old…haha…Here is a little video show you the sheer joy a few snowflakes can provide:

All righty, I’ll close out this little post, I have another thing to share with you in the coming days, I made a new cream burlap Valentine’s Day wreath to hang out on our front door and will provide you with the tutorial in my next post. 🙂 Here is a sneak peek at the final product…

I hope y’all are staying dry and warm, the temperature on my computer says that it is a whopping 8 degrees outside at the moment (very cold for these parts). Temps are supposed to rise later this week, but, for now…brrrrrrrr…I think I’ll go and cuddle up with one of the Newfs and get me a nice hot cup of tea. 🙂

Until next time, y’all take good care!

Christmas Switch-Out 2016–Family Room, Kitchen, Kitchen Eating Area, & Powder Room

On January 4, 2017 By ArlynnIn Country Decor2 Comments

Oh my goodness gracious y’all, I’m so tired! <~~~ I’m only half kidding…lol… I have been diligently working on getting our house put back to its “normal” self. Before I lament further, I’d like to wish each and every one of you a VERY Happy New Year!! I wish nothing but happiness, great health, and whatever else your hearts desire to come to you in this nice, fresh, new year. 🙂 AND let me take a moment to thank each and every one of you for taking time out of your day to read my ramblings and look at all of my pictures. 🙂 It seems that my little Blog here is doing pretty well, and that is due to all of you out there who have stopped by to join me on my crafting and traveling journeys. 🙂 I am humbled by each and every “like” and sweet comment—thank you all from the very bottom of my heart. ❤

All right, back to the subject at hand, Chris and I started this marathon process a few days after Christmas when we took both Christmas trees down. Since then, I’ve been working each and every day, whittling away at each little space i.e. the fireplace mantel and hearth, table tops, cozy corners, lantern centerpieces, and beyond. All along the way, I’ve also been creating YouTube videos, actually, I’ve created a new “Series” entitled “Christmas Switch-Out”. So far, I’ve created 3 videos showing y’all my ‘switch-out’ process and then sharing how I redecorate in a more generic way. I do not decorate for “Winter”, instead I redecorate using regular country decor that I can augment with Holiday/Seasonal decor, i.e. maybe a heart or two for Valentine’s Day, a Shamrock or two for St. Patty’s Day, possibly some Bunnies for Easter, well, you get my drift.

I have finished the rooms in the back portion of our home and those rooms include the family room, the kitchen, the kitchen eating area, and the powder room. Below, I will post link to my first three videos in my YouTube series for y’all…but, first, here are some pictures of some of the spaces and things that I’ve created in the last week or so. 🙂

Here is the Mantel:

And the Hearth:

This is the wreath that hangs on the mirror over the fireplace (I’m looking a smidge disheveled here…lol):

The Staircase:

A Cozy Corner:

Okie dokie…As you can see, I’ve been quite busy–and so has Chris, poor soul has been carrying my bins back downstairs and getting everything organized down there. He is such a trooper!! 🙂 Here are 3 links, Episodes 1, 2, & 3 in my new YouTube Series:

I still have two more videos to create, one will highlight the living and dining rooms and the second one will highlight what I’ve done outside. 🙂

For now, Sophie, Samson, Gracie, and I say:

Until next time, y’all take good care!! ❤

Cream on Cream Burlap Wreath: Stacey’s Christmas Gift (Video Tutorial for Wreath and Craft Bow Included)

On December 27, 2016December 27, 2016 By ArlynnIn Country Decor10 Comments

Tis better to give than to receive–Yes, that has been Stacey’s and my mantra for our entire lives. Y’all have met my sweet cousin Stacey, she has helped me out here on my Blog and on my YouTube channel by adding her expertise and fantastic creations. Stacey and I have a very close family, we are all God fearing folk who are spread out through several States and unfortunately, we don’t get to see our extended family nearly as much as we’d like. Stacey and I live fairly close to one another though, well relatively speaking anyway, about 100 miles separate us, but, we do try to make an effort to see one another more often than not. Stacey and I grew up in the same town, and we are both only children and our Dads are brothers. Our part of the family has always gotten together on Christmas Eve to celebrate, Stacey and I always exchange gifts on that most special of days. 🙂 Here we are this past Christmas Eve at my Dad’s place (Stacey is in the pretty green top). :

I had made Stacey this wreath this past summer, specifically to hang on that pretty framed mirror which is hung above her fireplace and to go with her summer decor (which is awesome!). Here is my Blog post where I tell you how I created this wreath… Whimsical Summer Wreath:

When I was standing there looking at this wreath on a visit this past summer, Stacey had mentioned quickly in passing that she’d like something to hang there for all Seasons and mentioned a all-cream wreath, in other words she’d like to have some decor on that mirror for all of the other times of the year when a certain Holiday isn’t being celebrated. So right then and there, my wheels started turning…And that is how the idea for this ‘Cream on Cream Wreath’ was born.

I started collecting the supplies that I’d need to create a cream on cream wreath, the first thing that I needed was cream colored burlap…That was harder to find than I thought it would be and I ended up ordering it online from here. Note: Its actual color is called “off-white”.

Here is a Supply list with everything else that I used (please see more detailed pictures in the video that is posted below):

1 – 16″ Work Wreath with the chenille ties already attached
1 – Roll of 14″ x 10′ Roll of Off-White Burlap Runner
2 – Cream Pip Berry Garlands (you won’t need both, but you’ll need more than one)
1 – Wooden Cross with rod iron accent cross (I spray painted the cross cream to match)
1 – Roll of Craft Wired Ribbon (with a bit of gold thread running through it)
Green leafy foliage
Gold leaves
1 Burlap Flower
Scissors, Pipe Cleaners, Wire Cutters, & a Hot Glue Gun

Instead of yammering along here in the body of this blog, I will just hush up and let you take a look at how I created this wreath for my sweet cousin. 🙂 OH and wait till you see the box that my hubby Chris created for me to hold this wreath so that I could wrap it up–and *bonus* it also provides a safe place in which to store it when Stacey isn’t using it…:) Here is a picture of the wreath nestled into that spiffy box–and it had a lid too!…

Here are a couple of pictures of Stacey opening her gift notice the not so spiffy wrapping job, that box was a bear to wrap…haha. 😉

And here is Stacey standing in front of her fireplace with her new wreath hung on that pretty cream colored mirror. 🙂 I *think* she likes it! 😉 ❤

YaY–I love it when a plan comes to fruition…This was a challenge because I wanted to make something soft and pretty and something that would make a statement but not overwhelm her room, I *think* I succeeded. 🙂 That smile on her face touched my heart like you would not believe–It is truly better to give than to receive — Stacey *got* me with her gift to me too this year…a subject for another blog post later…;) 🙂

All righty, here is that video tutorial and it also includes a craft bow tutorial:

Christmas: Deco Mesh & Ornament Garland Wreath

On December 14, 2016 By ArlynnIn Country Decor4 Comments

Sometimes the best laid plans turn upside down on a girl, yes, indeed, my plans to make a beautiful new wreath were set up one way in my mind, but the creation process of said wreath looked nothing like my well thought out plan! Let me back up for a second, to say that I was a happy camper to have found this teal, light green, and silver ornament garland in Walmart was an understatement.

I had added the same exact thing only in burgundies and golds into my staircase garland and beyond so I knew that it was crazy easy to work with…or, so I thought! lol Gnashing of teeth and pulling out of hair is what comes to mind when I think of myself making this particular wreath…BUT, it was all worth it in the end because it turned out beautifully. 🙂

Admittedly this one cost me a pretty penny to make as I ended up having to use 2—yes 2 of those ornament garlands and each one cost $24.98…so $50 alone just in the garland, yikes. I had purchased 2, but my thoughts were to only use 1 on the wreath…harkening back to my very first “the best laid plans” sentiment…yup, didn’t work out the way my mind’s eye had planned. ANYway, here is the entire supply list for this wreath—All of the rest of the things that I purchased were on sale for half price at Hobby Lobby, so in reality it didn’t cost me *that* much to make considering how pretty it turned out in the end–less a few teeth and hairs…;)

Supply List

1 16″ Metal Work Wreath (with the silver chenille ties already attached)
2 Boxes of 8.5′ Shatterproof Ornament Garland (from Walmart)

Here is a link: Shatterproof Ornament Garland

1 Roll of 21″ x 24′ of White Deco Mesh
1 Roll of 5.5″ x 30′ Silver Deco Mesh
1 Roll of Wired Craft Ribbon (White w/Teal and Blue Sparkly Snowflakes)
2 Silver, Spiky Picks
Pipe Cleaners, Hot Glue Gun, Scissors, & Wire Cutters

All right, instead of lamenting further here in this blog post, below you will find a link to my YouTube tutorial where you can see how I put this entire wreath together. 🙂 First though, a few pictures of the finished wreath, I placed it in my living room and have now dubbed this space as my “teal cozy corner”:

All righty, here is that YouTube tutorial:

Until next time, y’all take good care!!

Doggie Photo Shoot

On December 3, 2016December 3, 2016 By ArlynnIn My Dogs6 Comments

I only have a few passions in my life, God, my family (hubby, kids, and beyond), my friends, my crafting & decorating, and way up on the list, my dogs. Chris and I had dogs when we were children so I think that that cultivated a love for ‘man’s best friend’ in both of us. Our house just wouldn’t be the same without a fur-baby in our midst; we’ve been owned and loved by at least one at a time throughout our entire married life. Currently, as most of you know, we have 3 wonderful beings that dwell with us, our 2 Newfoundland dogs, Sophie and Samson, and our Golden Retriever Gracie. I took a little time away from my Christmas decorating, shopping, and other busyness of life and took each pup outside separately to take some shots around our yard, pairing the sweet gentleness that exudes from their pores with some of our Christmas decorations, then Chris came and helped me coral all three for some group shots. All three were extremely well-behaved and posed with no prompting from Nillas (their usual “pose for a picture” treat) or any other kind of coaxing food.

I will quit yammering away here and just show you a smattering of pictures that I and then Chris captured:

This is Samson–Admittedly, there are more pictures of this fella–he is so easy to work with and he has a calmness about him that is just unsurpassed (except when he sees a deer or is barking at someone walking in our yard):

Here is Sophie–She is now 9 years old but still acts like she is 9 months old. She listened very well to me out there, but, she was laser focused on e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g…haha:

And here is Gracie (that silly upper lip just didn’t want to cooperate), she is closer to 10 than 9 now-a-days:

We really need to get her her own silhouette! ❤

Gracie had eye surgery almost a year ago to take care of Glaucoma…As you see in this picture, her eye has shrunk down to almost smaller than normal now, she is blind in that eye, BUT, she feels no pain and is as happy as a clam every single day of her life:

And now for some group shots:

And then I climbed into the picture with them:

These three don’t get out front much, I do think that they’d stay around the house off-leash, but I never want to take the chance that they might take off after a deer…I can see myself trekking over the river and through the woods in pursuit…uh…not a pretty picture in my mind’s eye. 😉 Most of the time, they are either inside snoozing, or out in the safe fenced backyard that they all enjoy to the hilt. That said, I do think that they really enjoyed their time out front posing, sniffing, watching, & surveying their property–We had a great little time of it…They are three wonderful blessings in our lives. ❤

And… now…, I’ll get back to the frenzied state in which I dwell every year in this interim time between Thanksgiving and Christmas–My favorite times of the year, albeit one of the busiest. 🙂

Until next time, y’all take good care!

Plaid and Burlap Wreath (Link to YouTube tutorial included)

On November 29, 2016 By ArlynnIn Country Decor8 Comments

My Aunt Barb, Cousin Stacey and I are going to be heading to my Dad’s place soon and we are going to be bringing a little bit of Christmas cheer to his new place. Have I expressed before how much I love and adore my family–Uh, yeah, I think I have…haha…There are SO many reasons why I love them, doing things like decorating my dad’s place for Christmas is just one of many. They and I have been gathering some items and we will pull our efforts together and bring them all to fruition at dad’s place helping to usher in the Season for him.

At first, I didn’t know what I wanted to contribute to this little project, so the first place I went was to my ‘store’…my basement. My basement is the holder of many different treasures, items from the past, items that I currently use, and items that I discover when I’m down there searching for something totally different. So I collected a few little items that will go in the “What I’m taking to Dad’s to decorate for Christmas” bin. Here are just a few little things that I collected:

My wheels started to turn when I put my hands on that plaid ribbon pictured below. First let me say that one of the ladies in my wreath making class had used a very similar ribbon on her pretty wreath, and I remember thinking to myself when I saw her’s, wow, that looks so familiar and I love that! So, when I was scouring around in my basement and when I picked up that bolt of elusive ribbon, I then knew why I loved her’s so much—I had purchased some for myself–duh, I did *not* even remember that I had gone into Hobby Lobby after Christmas last year and grabbed up a bunch of ribbon when everything went on deep clearance. 🙂 I digress…

OH and one more thing, I also purchased Dad a small Christmas tree–His request, he didn’t want something huge, which I can totally understand. 🙂 So I picked him up one of those pretty little trees (4′) that one might put on their porch beside a front door…it is already in a ‘vase’ of sorts, and it is an easy up and down item and it came already decorated…perfect for him and us (easy for us to put up). Note the red ornaments and poinsettias on the tree in the picture…;) 🙂

Okay, as I was saying, my wheels started to turn when I put my hands on the ribbon because I knew that I wanted to make my Dad a burlap wreath and that ribbon would be perfect to utilize for that little project. Not to mention the fact that I had already created this centerpiece to go on his coffee table, so I wanted to make something that would pair nicely with it and that little tree:

Here is the finished wreath:

And here is a picture of the wreath and the centerpiece together:

Here is a supply list just in case any of you might like to try making a wreath like this of your own:

16″ Work Wreath
1 Skien (and a little more) of 18″ x 15′ Burlap runner
1 Roll (and a little more) of a colored coordinating burlap – 5.5″ x 15′
1 Roll of wired craft ribbon (for bow)
2 long pine branches
Rusty Christmas Bell
2 Poinsettias
4 Red Christmas ornaments
Pipe cleaner, Hot Glue Gun, & Craft Wire
Scissors & Wire Cutters

And here is my YouTube tutorial video that show you how I pulled this wreath together:

I can’t wait to travel to my dad’s place and pull all of our ideas and the items that we’ve collected and created together to help dad see and feel Christmas all around him–I know he will enjoy it all immensely as he was and is always the biggest Santa Claus in my life!! He makes Christmas special for us every single year, I hope that Barb, Stacey, and I can help make Christmas special for him this year. ❤

~Until next time, y’all take good care!

Christmas 2016: Home Tour-Episode #3 (Thanksgiving too)

On November 26, 2016November 26, 2016 By ArlynnIn Seasonal Decor4 Comments

I am now officially finished decorating for Christmas–Woohoo! And, I am going to enjoy a couple of days of rest before attacking my Christmas shopping with a fervor. And if truth be told, I am one tuckered out lady at the moment. I feel like I have been working on this for weeks…OH wait, I *have* been working on this for weeks…haha. 😉 BUT, it is a labor of love to be sure–I absolutely love to create and decorate, as I told someone the other day, it is my “wheelhouse” and I’m never more happy when I can see what is in my mind’s-eye come to fruition. 🙂

Before I start with my last home tour in this Series, let me tell you a little bit about our Thanksgiving. We had a lovely time of it here, both of our girls were here and my Dad was also here. In addition, we had our daughter’s beau and their pup here as well. Candace (our youngest) cooked us a wonderful dinner one evening, we played trivia games, we trimmed a Christmas tree, we laughed, hugged, and did all of those things that close families do–We are blessed. 🙂 Here are a few pictures of our time together:

Candace and Dustin’s pup Valentino!

Candace cooking up some dinner one night…YUM!!

We all trimmed the big family room Christmas tree together:

And here is the finished tree that evening:

And the pups posed prettily for me…Left to right– Gracie, Samson, & Sophie:

And then Thanksgiving morning dawned–Here are a smattering of pictures of our time on that most special of days–I definitely have so much to be thankful for:

Here I am with my handsome hubby Chris:

And these two beauties are our daughters Christin & Candace:

Here are the girls with my sweet Dad Dave…

Here is Candace with her beau Dustin…

It was a ***wonderful*** day!! ❤ Everyone headed home on Thanksgiving evening…So sad to see them go; there is nothing more important than family!

So the day after Thanksgiving dawned, and honestly, I didn’t have a whole lot of energy…lol…BUT, Chris and I were bound and determined to get our outdoor decorating completed. So we went into attack mode and by the end of the day, we had everything created, hung, blinged out, and in place. 🙂 I will post my YouTube video below that will give you a quick ornament and pine garland tutorial. I found more of that ornament garland at Walmart and I attached it to the garland that goes around the front door and I put some on the lit wreath that hangs on the front door…

And then I give you a tour of the outdoor decorations…

And here is a link to my YouTube video:

I am completely content and pretty happy with the end result of my decorating efforts this Christmas. It took me several years to gather all of the parts and pieces together and this year, I feel as if I have one cohesive design happening throughout the house. 🙂

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, as well as good food, tons of hugs and unconditional love–I know that we sure did. 🙂 And I am completely and totally glad that my decorating is totally finished on this day, just two days after Thanksgiving. 🙂

All righty—I will close this one out by saying…

~Until next time, y’all take good care! ❤

Christmas 2016: Blue Snowflake Wreath

On November 19, 2016November 19, 2016 By ArlynnIn Seasonal Decor2 Comments

Okay, okay, okay…I’ve got to stop with the crafting huh? lol Yeah right, that’s like telling the sun not to rise tomorrow morning! 😉 What might help me is to stop heading into Hobby Lobby *just* to look. Such is the scenario that was taking place when I found this Christmas tree:

As y’all know, my Christmas decorations in the living and dining rooms are done up in light blues and greens, silvers, and whites. But, see that wreath hanging between the windows in the picture below, the one with the bird on it? Well, in my mind, where the wheels are always turning and new ideas are always spewing forth, I thought that I would love to have a Christmas wreath hanging there :

So when I saw that Christmas tree, the imaginary lightbulb above my head went off–btw, that Christmas tree was sitting way up on the very top shelf display, good thing I’m tall because I was able to reach it with knocking only one or two things over–yes, yes, I fixed it right back up, trust me, they never knew that my frenzied self had been anywhere near that spot. 😉

I then zipped around up and down the aisles of Hobby Lobby searching for all of the parts and pieces that I would gather to bring the wreath that was in my mind’s eye to fruition. The next thing that I found were these snowflakes which were perfect because there were snowflakes on that tree…

And then I found the wired ribbon that would be for my craft bow pretty snowflakes abounded there as well:

I decided that I wanted to do a burlap wreath, but, since I couldn’t find a coordinating burlap in the exact color that I wanted, I chose to use deco mesh instead–boy am I ever glad that I made that choice because adding that to the burlap just made everything come together. Here are the supplies that I collected, every single thing that I purchased was 50% off in their Christmas department–except for the burlap runner and deco mesh, but they were on sale this week for 40% off (admittedly, it still cost me about $55 to make):

Supply List:

16″ Work Wreath
1 Skein + a little more of Burlap Runner– 18″ x 15′
1 Skein of Deco Mesh (with jute)–10″ x 30′
1 Roll of Wired Craft Ribbon
Metal Christmas Tree
Snowflake Ornaments
Other accent pieces of your choosing
Pipe Cleaner (to close bow), Hot Glue Gun

Can I tell y’all how much I adore the finished wreath? It went together beautifully as you’ll see in my YouTube video tutorial that I’ll post below. First, here are a few pictures of what turned out to be one of my favorites wreaths that I’ve ever created.
