The Bow and Bauble Door Hanging is the best way to greet your guests on this 11th Day of Christmas! I created a crochet bow, then I paired the bow with some simple yet colorful ornaments and some shimmering ribbon. I love the final result!!
Here is a list of supplies I used:
Fabric Glue
I first made this piece. Pattern below image.
First I chained 120, Then I worked a DC in the very first chain to create a ring and I just worked in continuous rounds putting a DC in each chain around, and then continuing to put a DC in each stitch around without slip stitching to the beginning or anything. I worked in a swirl! Then after Round 12, I fastened off with a long tail.
I used that long tail and cinched the center of the bow down like this.
Then I took the ribbon and fabric glue and attached it in the center of the bow.
After that, I tied on the baubles and my bow was complete!!!
I did this project in an afternoon. It was sooooo easy!!
‘Tis the season for warm fires, hot cocoa with cookies, and friends to share it all with! Holiday entertaining is made even more festive with these black and red checked coasters! The plaid design is perfect for bringing a splash of bright color to protect and decorate the table top. Have you always wanted to try out how to crochet plaid? Well here is your chance to learn how in this easy to follow step-by-step tutorial and pattern. Now, if you will excuse me, there are a couple of mouthwatering cookies that need to find their way into my tummy! Enjoy all the drinks and goodies all year long with this great project!

Our 7th day of Christmas brings more holiday decor! This rustic wall hanging has elements of crochet and craft mixed with elements of the outdoors. Follow through my step by step instructions and make your own wall hanging today.
The Materials I used are as follows:
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Gold and Green
Chic Sheep Yarn (Red Heart) in Linen
3 Pinecones (from outside)
A Large Stick from outside
Cinnamon Sticks
Scissors
Size H-5.00mm Crochet Hook
Step 1: I tied yarn to the stick on each end to make it be able to hang on a hook
Step 2: I crocheted the stars and tree (See pattern below)
Step 3: I used the Linen yarn and tied the pinecones, cinnamon sticks, stars and tree to the wall hanging using the Linen colored yarn.
It was so easy! I finished in an hour!!
Star:
Rnd 1: Ch 3, 10 dc in 3rd Ch from hook, sl st to first st. (10)
Rnd 2: Ch 2, 2 dc each st around, sl st to first st. (20)
Rnd 3: Ch 1, *hdc in next st, [2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc] in next st, hdc in next st, sl st in next st*, repeat from * around, end with Sl st in last st. Sl st to first st to close round. Fasten off, Weave in ends. (5 points made)
I followed along to this pattern by Carol from Pure Sugar blog. She designed the Country Christmas Crochet Garland and I used the motif for the tree design in the center.
When I put everything together, this is how it looks! It’s so lovely on my wall!
If anyone is looking for a rustic holiday decoration, I have just the thing for you! I did these easy jute covered balloon balls and they turned out so awesome. Below you can see my step by step process from start to finish. This idea has me thinking in all kinds of creative directions using string art to decorate for the holidays. I may have to make more! In the meantime check out my picture tutorial and follow along today.
First I gathered all the supplies I needed. (See photo above)
Water Balloons, Scissors, Paint brush, Mod Podge, and Jute.
I also used rubber gloves and a tupperware container that are not pictured.
I blew up the balloons to be mini balls, and then I added the Mod Podge to the tupperware container.
I proceeded to dunk the jute into the mod podge and then wrap it around the balloon using my rubber gloves for protection.
I wrapped about 20 times.
Then I used the paint brush to reinforce the mod podge to the jute.
I let it dry for 24 hours.
Once it was all dry, I popped the balloon and removed it from the middle of the ball.
The jute stayed in place!! Woohoo!! I then used a tweezer to get any extra mod podge out of the gaps and make the ball look cleaner.
I added an ornament hook to the ball and hung it on my tree!
On the LAST of our 12 Days of Christmas project I present to you this lovely wreath! Using a simple leaf design, dress up a door wreath for the holiday or ANY time of the year! This lovely home decor accent is the perfect way to greet your guests this holiday season! Happy, Happy Holidays EVERYONE! May you find plenty of projects to keep your hooks busy in the days ahead! Love and warm fiber hugs to all!
Follow along with this video tutorial to learn how to make the leaves:

Days turned into weeks, that turned into months, and I finally finished. My crochet hand and arms had a mega workout, but it was so worth the effort. This beautiful chunky yarn blanket using Red Heart Irresistible Yarn is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever made for the home. Just in time for cold nights and winter winds, it truly is…irresistible.
This blanket is an investment piece. These chunky yarns are not skeins you are going to find in a bargain bin. They can be pricey. This is one of those projects where coupons and sales come in handy!! This is definitely a piece you want to have for your home or for a gift to someone VERY special. Side note–this blanket does shed, and I personally have not felted mine to reduce the shedding, but you can opt to do whatever you feel.
I made my project in stripes, but you can make it in a solid tone. It’s a striking blanket no matter what you decide to do. This afghan is extremely heavy–I would guess about 10-12 pounds, maybe more! This is a very trendy and popular piece that you find in high end home decor.
