I'm excited!
My sweety is getting me a leather sewing kit today!
Due to some kitty related incidents, one of our leather couches was ruined. I cut the good leather off of the back, top, and sides, and have been wanting to make some accessories with it. I'll post some pictures once there's progress.

Spring Wreath
I thought the front door looked a bit sad with the winter decorations down, so I whipped up this spring themed wreath.
I used a round cork trivet as the base. Cut the centre out of it then wrapped the remaining circle frame in bright orange ribbon.
I cut square pieces of paper out of old calendars. Since the backs were white, I used two squares per windmill, so that they would be bright and colourful from all angles.
I used a pushpin per windmill to both hold it together and attach it to the wreath.
Finally, I used a pushpin to attach more orange ribbon to the back of the wreath, so that I could hang it up.
I think it turned out pretty well, considering it was on a whim, didn't take very long, and I only used things I had on hand. (Plus now I can toss the rest of the old calendars, so I feel like I did a little spring cleaning too.)

I haven't been very crafty lately. Have been moving some furniture around and trying to get the house sorted again instead.
I've also been taking lots of photos. Here's one from last week.
Take care!
