Spring is in the air (finally)!

So I have been waiting for the winter to be gone so it would finally be warmer outside. I've also been waiting so I could work on and put up some spring decorations! So I found some cute ideas and came up with some of my own and began to work on them. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had some other plans for our spring weather! I took this picture March 25th! Crazy!

But I kept on working on my spring projects anyway, hoping to convince myself and Mother Nature that spring was around the corner! But until that happened, I have been inside watching seasons 8 & 9 of Friends on DVD as I worked. I'm including links to where I found some of these in case you want to make some fun spring crafts of your very own!

I saw lots of cute spring wreaths and lots of birds and birdhouses. I had some extra hydrangea bushes from another project, got a little birdhouse from the dollar section at Michael's and the wreath from the dollar store. I made myself a fun little spring wreath and I'm happy with the way that it turned out!

Now, since I have my new mantle cover project all done, I could decorate it for spring.

I found a tutorial on how to make a cute little button egg and felt rabbit and did my own variation on it with different color buttons of various sizes that I also found in the dollar section at Michael's. I think I spend more money on dollar sections in stores than I do on everything else sometimes! :)

I am loving all the cute little spring birds I am seeing and wanted some for myself! I do not have a way to cut vinyl (really missing having Alli around-but not only for that reason!), so I found some clip art and printed it out with some letters and traced it on to my painted wood and painted it in. I glued a candlestick to the bottom and screwed in a wood finial on the top and here is my cute little spring sign. I was inspired by this pretty spring pillow I saw.

I wanted to add a little Easter decoration for my dining room table and so I made these cute little eggs by wrapping plastic eggs with some jute and painting them. I put them on a little nest of moss and it is all done! I found a tutorial for the eggs here.

I have really been having fun doing all kinds of projects since moving here. I guess since I have all new places to decorate, that's what I am doing! I have found so many cute ideas online that I want to do all of them. But I think Aaron would think I was crazy and my house would be a little crazy if I did all of them! :)

I guess it is time to get back to my spring cleaning and then get outside with the boys and enjoy the beautiful weather we finally have! :)
