Serenity NOW.

First - let me just say that you "yarn wreath" people are NUTTY! "Sure, I'll make a couple yarn wreaths. Should be easy enough, tons of people have made them." UM. Ca-razy!!! It's definitely not hard to do, but it's totally tedious and takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I will most likely NOT make yarn wreaths again.

From this.....

To this.....(DON'T ask)
To this.......Now what?? Hmmmmm. Givin' it some thought (and icing the claw that is my hand - ha ha). Reveal to come soon. I'm lusting after the ones in this post. We'll see!

    I know the feeling. I made one for Valentine's and the giant balls of yarn were on sale, so I bought...um, the ball didn't fit throught the hole of the wreath. I spent hours wrapping that thing. But, it's worth it.

    Awww.....sorry about the claw! I see you gave up the quatrefoil wreath idea?! I am excited to see what you decide to do! xo

    The trick for me has been to use yarn that's a little thicker because it makes it go faster. I've made 2 so far and never had a "claw" problem :) Can't wait to see what you do with them!

    And P.S. When did you open ANOTHER Etsy shop??? I've been a little out of the loop lately so I must've missed it.

    What you have done so far looks great....I can't wait to see how you finish them. I love the aqua color. I've been curious about how much time it takes to make one.

    They turned out really cute though!!!! I'm always surprised at how annoyed I get if a project actually requires some work and time on my part! :)
