Hanging with a Bookworm

I have wanted to try making fake-bakes for a while. Fake-bakes are the faux cakes, candies, and cocoa/coffee mugs you see at places like TJ Maxx used to decorate around the house.

I started off with these holiday mugs.

What do you think? The big mug is $15 and the greedy green monster mug is $10.

Here is another wreath that I have been working on. It is an everyday welcome wreath in blue, white and cream colors.

It has 3 large daisies, a large bow, and ribbons thought the wreath.

Like all of my wreaths, the back is covered and there is no hot glue used in this wreath.

I finished this coastal themed wreath this week.

It has one large bow, a metal sign, and sand dollars all around it.

I will be back in the Omaha area the first week of August. Does anyone want to make an order and pick it up from me then? You will be able to avoid shipping this way.

I am making a variation of my original turkey wreaths. The first photo is what I have now, and the other two are Turkeys that I have made in the past. This one is not complete yet.

What do you think? The bow is a different style than the original, and it will eventually get a band, flower, and feet.

If I came back to Iowa to visit, would anyone want to meet for a wreath? If so, what wreath would you want?

Payments would need to be made upfront.

These are some of my recently made items.

I am starting to work on items for the upcoming seasons. This one is a Halloween wreath. It is 21 inches in diameter. It also has 2 large bows, ribbons and orange roses. Best of all the sign is made out of plastic so it is very light and durable.

I have been playing around with making different music shaped decor. The first one I have completed is this mouse shaped music wall hanger.

What do you all think?

Here is the wreath I made this week. It is a bright Summer ribbon, full of watermelons and ants. It has white daisies around a light plastic sign.

This wreath is 20 inches in diameter and does not have any hot glue used in it. Like all of my wreaths, the back is covered to protect your door or wall.

If you are here, then you can clearly tell that I love to read. More than crafting, reading fills my bucket. The Fourth Wing series by Rebecca Yarros is one of my all time favorites.

Another thing about reading that I love is all of the cool special editions. This is one full set of German editions, a German edition of Fourth Wing (the matching Iron Flame is not out yet) and a French copy of iron flame.

While I can’t read these, I can appreciate the beauty that they bring to my bookshelf, and experience the joy that seeing them brings me.
