Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 50

Hello and Happy Weekend!

Can you believe this month is halfway over? It’s safe to say, 2022 has been a pretty good year so far.

How have you celebrated the new year? I’m not a big party person, but a night in with a bowl of popcorn and an episode or two of The Great British Baking Show sounds like a party to me!

But in all seriousness, I have been working twice as hard to make this year the best year for my blog. Whether it’s twirling yarn for a garland or cutting paper for a wreath, I have been crafting 24/7.

To honor my creations, here is a collection of January crafts for adults to inspire you and others to try something different for the new year!

And besides,, who doesn’t love an easy DIY for your home? I sure do, and I hope you do too!

A Personal Note from Janine

My yarn collection is growing, and I don’t even knit.

You see, I use my skeins of yarn for making pom-poms. And lately, everything is coming up pom-poms over here at my home. Well, a lot of my craft projects are taking over our home.

Thank goodness my husband loves all the crafting and baking that I create. You see, he is a creative person too, so he understands the artistic process.

He and I both have art degrees, so it makes sense we ended up together. We can choose out wall colors, backyard tiles, sofas, but ask us to solve a bunch of math equations, and we’re lost.

We leave anything analytical to our son, who is an engineer.

Well, off to create another wreath for next week!

Happy Crafting.

Cheers,

This Week’s Tip – Add Gorgeous Ribbon to Anything

Here’s Where I Buy My Ribbon

When I create a wreath or decorate my Christmas tree, I always rely on a few Etsy shops. But did you know that there are boutique shops over there that specialize in ribbon?

The one that I always buy my velvet ribbon from is Shy Myrtle. I wish I had about 10 yards of every ribbon that they sell. But, I try to have a few in my ribbon supply since I love to add a pretty ribbon to most of my homemade wreaths.

You can also add a pretty ribbon to gifts, mantels, baskets, and much more. For example, this past Christmas, I used a rustic edge blue velvet ribbon for my garland. And I love how it created a vintage-style tree.

I hope you like this fun little ribbon shop!
