Patriotic Wreath

Here is my Patriotic Wreath. July 4th is coming up and I wanted to crochet my Mom a patriotic wreath for her door. If you read my post yesterday you read how I glued my wreath back together. Now that it is together I started designing it. It is so much fun,  quick and easy. I was going to put lovely white stars on it but ended up just putting the flags on it instead. The flags look wonderful. This is a free pattern to my email subscribers and you should be receiving it. If you do not wish to sign up for my email list but you like the pattern then you can buy the pattern in my Etsy shop.

Isn’t it beautiful.

It has been a frustrating morning but I have hustled around and put away the laundry and threw a bunch of cluttery paper out. The house feels better now and my frustration is going away. Too much clutter tends to shut down my creativity and just irritate every last nerve, or at least it feels like it. I hope your day is going great and things just keep improving as the day and week goes on.

This week I will be concentrating on cleaning, putting away, writing, peeling more wallpaper, filming a Youtube video and  painting my daughter’s room. One daughter is at camp so the other can use her bed while we finish removing wallpaper and get ready to paint her room. We are painting it a shade of blue-grey. If you watch Fixer Upper then you know the soft color range that I am talking about. She already has soft blue curtains and the blue grey paint will go nicely. We are hoping to make the room feel larger than it is. I’m off to get my work done so I’ll talk to you later,

P.S. Why is that when one of the kids is gone we think we morph into Super -Woman and get everything done that we haven’t done in the past 12 months? I really will settle for just three of the things on that list!
