Around the house: Simple Statement Wreath

looking grown

The simple statement wreath has found a home on a bedroom in my wall. I’m always changing the wall above my bed. I hope to find a semi-permanent decoration for that space one day. For now, though, the wreath looks spectacular. I made another one (green!) and it’s above my green couch. They’re different shades of green, so they complement each other well.

I realized a while ago that you can spot the wreaths in some of my photos. The one above was taken yesterday. My Andrew is looking grown up! He sorta-kinda needs a haircut, as he’s constantly pushing it out of his eyes, but I’m waiting for him to lead us. We were close a few weeks ago (grandma got her scissors out!), but he changed his mind at the last minute. I’m letting him decide because the last thing I want is a squirmy screaming child close to sharp scissors. We’ll probably head to a professional and while I’m sure they’re used to scared kids, I don’t want to be a burden on them. So, we wait.

Taking photos of a blanket I was working on and I ended up with a wreath in the background of both!

Have you made a wreath using my tutorial? You should add it to the Ravelry page (click below)!

Just a few spots in my home that make me happy.

We’ve lived in this house a little over a year now. It’s a work in progress. I find myself “completing” parts of rooms instead of entire rooms. I seem to move on before finishing them up. I either get bored with a room or I get inspired with another part of my house. I’m going to go with the latter!
