the new blog


Hey everyone...I have started a new blog where I will focus on my crafting projects, sewing, and other things called thesimplesussie.blogspot.com. I am working on opening a big cartel shop called The Simple Sussie, and will use the new blog to share the journey! For keeping things easy, I will also use the new blog for updates on life and what we are doing around the unthank casa!

I will be doing some giveaways in the next couple of weeks so hop on over and follow. I will be posting some fun projects later this morning!!

felt flower wreath

This weekend was filled with lots of fun (ringing in the new year!) and some wonderful crafting!

I made a really cute shirt which I will post later this week. It definitely has some spots that will need improvement next time I make one...but I was happy with it being the first one I made.

Then I made a wreath (to replace the Christmas one). I have seen these precious felt flower wreaths all over the place. From anthropologie to numerous blogs. I also saw this cute flower tree at City Craft when I was buying fabric the other day and combined the different felt and fabric flowers I have learned to make and put them on this cute little wreath!

You should definitely google search "felt flower wreaths" and use your own twist on making one for yourself.

Total cost was $4. I got the wreath for $2.99 and the felt on sale for $1. I used scraps of fabric to make the other flowers.
