MONDAY’S PRETTY THINGS :: Spring Geometry

The calendar is inching toward spring, or at least Easter. The colors in this week’s Monday’s Pretty Things sit somewhere between pastel and neon, and make for an especially cheery combination, don’t you think?Diamond Cushion in Progress Hanging on White Wall via wood & wool stool

Christmas, Monday's Pretty Things

MONDAY’S PRETTY THINGS :: Decorating for Christmas with Felted Balls

Felted garlands are a great way to add color to your Christmas decor in a non-traditional way (i.e., not strictly red+green). Of course, I’d easily be able to justify leaving the strands up long after December is over. You can purchase both loose spheres and ready-made strands at craft stores and via private sellers on Etsy, or, you can felt your own wool using directions from one of these DIYs below! I really like the all-white ones strung on the neon thread! Which is your favorite?
