It has been a long time hasn't it.  Well shortly after I posted we had the holidays.  Holidays kept me busy enough with travel and also kept me from crafting. 

Despite not having a large budget for my crafting "addiction"  I am back in FULL force with wreath making.  I wish I had unlimited funds to create all the amazing things I see on other blogs/pinterest, oh and unlimited time.  But I dont- so I just stick to wreaths because I enjoy it.  I hope you all enoy them too. 

Here are a few of the wreaths I have been working on. I have so much extra ribbon and fabric scraps from projects that I decided, why not use them on wreaths. So here ya go:

I sell my wreaths on Etsy under Wreaths By Emma Ruth and through facebook, but I was wondering if some of you bloggers/mommies have other suggestions on how to get my little wreath business out there.  Anyone have some good tips?  

In other news, I have recently started working in a small local store downtown called Gypsi.  I LOVE small local businesses that have such character!  Gypsi offers trendy jewelry, purses, and other fun accessories.  What are some of your favorite small stores with neat finds?

Also we listed our house up for sale, which means I have to make my bed every day!  I am such a neat freak, but there is just something about making a bed.  I am going to sleep in it again later!

Its hard to keep the space clean with a 21 month old also.  Everytime we step out for an errand I feel like I have to leave the house spotless in case of an impromptu showing which has been happening.  That means all dishes washed, laundry put away, toys picked up, floors swepped - all before just leaving the house for an errand.  Hope for good news on the house soon!!

Here is a picture of our main living area in our home.   I had been working on the wall collage I had for awhile with paintings I had done, canvases I had made, and some favorite pictures - finished off with a handprint of my son. 

 

Hope you all have a great weekend!
