Don't forget to link up yourSt. Patrick's Daycrafts and ideas here!
For Valentine's day I wanted to make some felt topiaries, well that didn't happen!
So I decided that I would make some for St. Patrick's Day.
I got the felt back in January at Joann's for 50% of and a couple of the end of the bolts,
so I was way excited!
I have seen all those cute felt heart wreaths and now a couple of St. Patrick's Day wreaths and I have fallen in love with them. I never realized how many circles you need to cut out and how long it takes to put hot glue on each circle and shove each one into the styrofoam.
So after 120 to 130 circles for each felt ball this is how they turned out!
Of course to show them all off I added this fabulous subway art printable from eighteen 25!
I still haven't decorated for St. Patrick's Day so check back later this week for complete look with these cute felt balls! I also debated back and forth whether I should make topiaries out of them or just place them on my candlestick holders that came from Wal Mart. I obviously settled on the candlestick holders!

Helllloooo fellowHOOOOOTS! Welcome to another week of
Here are this week's questions!
1. Where do you usually have your thermostat set at in the winter? 2. What room do you tend to put off cleaning until last? 3. Do you like to clean with music on or off? 4. When do you take time to blog? 5. How much time do you spend looking at other blogs a week?
Here are my answers!
1. Where do you usually have your thermostat set at in the winter? It is usually set around 68 degrees.
2. What room do you tend to put off cleaning until last?
My room is the last one to get cleaned and it seems to be a place where everything gets thrown if people are coming over and the rest of the house needs to be cleaned!
(most of it is laundry that needs to be hung up ugh)
3. Do you like to clean with music on or off?
I love to clean with music on. It gets me motivated and makes me move faster!
4. When do you take time to blog?
I do it in the morning! I have good intentions to do it at night, but other things always tend to pull me away from it.
5. How much time do you spend looking at other blogs a week?A lot! My husband teases me and says," Oh craft bloggin' again". I probably spend 1 to 2 hours a day! I love seeing other people's creations and reading about their lives.

I haven't had time to add to my St. Patrick's decor yet this year,
so I decided it would be fun to visit some from last year!
This wreath hangs on my door year round with a different wooden plaque for each month! Sorry it looks a little crooked! I took pictures on my lunch hour and was in a hurry!
I found these cute little shamrocks for a buck at Joann's! Gotta love those dollar finds!
I don't know about you, but I ♥ shamrocks! I have several wooden ones around my house!
My march table runner! This is my favorite one I have made so far!
