Easy Baby Blanket

I needed a gift for a baby girl, so I sewed a baby blanket. I love how it turned out. Simple but super cute. Again, I got the idea online. Here are her instructions:

Yarn Wreath

I needed a generic wreath for my door that was cute but not associated with any specific holiday. I saw some yarn wreaths online, so I decided to give it a try. I also didn't feel like spending too much money, so I used yarns, buttons and flowers that I already had in my bin. All I had to buy was the wreath form ($3) and the word welcome ($2).
