Here in Washington, the snow has really been snowing! So I decided that I needed a new winter wreath. I browsed Pinterest for some inspiration, and I found several cute scarf wreaths. My favorite was a pin for a green plaid scarf wreath that was also upcycled, and I also was inspired by a pin for holiday wreath that has different plaid fabrics. Why haven't I heard of scarf wreaths before!?!  Ideally, I would have liked to use a crochet or knit scarf to make a scarf wreath like in the pin I found for a super quick knit scarf wreath. But I when I started this project, I couldn't think of a scarf that I've already made that would be good for this project... But just now while I'm typing this, I thought of a denim knit scarf I made years ago that would've been perfect for this. I think it's in my closet somewhere, so when I find it, I might make another scarf wreath. 😁 Anyhoo, I decided to upcycle a plaid dress my daughter outgrew awhile ago for this project.

Yes, I'm back with ANOTHER gnome scarf! 😆 I absolutely LOVE the Fall Gnome Scarf pattern by Heidi Yates/Snappy Tots, so after making a Fall Gnome Scarf just like the original pattern, I decided to change it up to create a Halloween Gnome Scarf. And Since Christmas is next month, I couldn't resist creating a couple Christmas Gnome Scarves! No, I couldn't make just one... I had to make two! 

Christmas is fastly approaching, so I figured it was time to get to work on some ornaments to add to my Seattle Seahawks themed Christmas tree. I usually buy a few new ornaments, but this time I thought it would be more eco friendly to create some new ornaments by upcycling some old ornaments that have lost their shine. I wanted to find a way to bring new life to some old ornaments that I haven't used in years, so I searched Pinterest and found a pin for a quick and easy way to upcycle ornaments with crochet. Since I have a Seahawks themed Christmas tree, I grabbed some blue and green yarn and a crochet hook and got to work! 

Recently while I was scrolling through Facebook, I saw a really cute gnome scarf. It was a post in the Snappy Tots crochet group I'm in, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it would be the perfect project for this month's Fall Crafts & Decor Blog Hop. So I purchased the Fall Gnome Scarf pattern by Heidi Yates/Snappy Tots, and I searched through my yarn stash for the perfect colors.
