March Mantel-ness....

Posted by Christina // 2 Replies

This is for all the ladies in the midst of brackets and basketball.

We can make our own March fun, right?
We can call it mantel madness, you down?

A couple weeks (yes weeks) ago I decorated the mantel for St. Patty’s Day.
What can I say, I am excited.

Once again I have to ask for photography forgiveness. Mantel is directly across from our fish tank. Hence, lots of blue glowiness and glares. I had lots of yarn left over from my St. Pat’s wreath, so I channeled my inner Martha and made lots of yarn poufs and called it garland.

Have you been decorating in green and gold?
Got a fancy mantel? I’d love to see it.

Has anyone else been counting down the days since March 18th, 2012?

I am totally going to be as tacky as they come in every shade of green.
I may even break out my beer mug hat…reliving the glory days.

If I was slightly classy I may dress more like this. nails.bracelet.earrings.ring.top.shoes

For the girls that aren’t a teeny little thing (congrats to the ones that are) I found a really cute pair of green jeggings at JC Penny. Bonus that they are super comfy and they have a rainbow of colors.

Would you get down with a disco ball shirt?
Do you have your outfit planned already?

March is here, March is here.
Just in case you weren’t aware.

Let’s celebrate shall we?

I’ll get the Rubens and long as you make me this cake. You had better believe I am taking the first of the month to scope out all the cute St. Patty’s crafts going on. I love inspiration you know.

Seriously, who is making me that cake.
I don’t even care that I would have a green tongue.

Speaking of colored tongues. Ok how awesome would it be to wake up to rainbow pancakes? Hint Hint Tim.

What is it about this holiday that makes me hungry.

I wonder if Timbo would get down with a scavenger hunt, I’m putting this on my to-do list. Especially since all the clues are already made thanks to Alison. Speaking of my boyfran-man…I figure I can make him a little sumthin sumthin.

I love making holidays special, for everyone. I know leaving these little babies around for all the people I like would make St. Pattys more fun for everyone. Have you found any adorable green goodness that I should know about?
Do tell….

Is it March yet...

I try really hard not to wish my life away…but what is the hold up on March?

March is one of my favorite months. Tulips start blooming, birds start singing and there is this one little holiday. My favorite holiday. Yes I was totally the girl who would pinch everyone for not wearing green. Sorry for annoying you back in the day friends, but I hope you learned your lesson.

Did you know my last name is Bailey, like the Irish Creme. That was my tagline in college so people could remember me when they Facebook stalked later.
Oh St. Pattys, I am waiting patiently.

Until then, I will just make lots of pretty green things. I want to see green and gold in every corner of my home this time of year.

This was an inexpensive and fairly easy DIY.
The best part is the endless color combinations…I am thinking I need a yarn wreath in every color. Ohhhh now I am seeing a whole wall of colorful wreaths.

If only I had the patience. I went to Hobby Lobby the other day to catch a sale on yarn and fabric. I also had a 40% off coupon so the whole project cost under $10. Have you looked at wreaths online lately? They are not cheap people.

I will give you advance warning, make sure you have a good movie queued up when you start. Wrapping the yarn took me about an hour and a half, so thankfully I got all caught up on the Gypsy Sister drama. Holler.

Can you guess what I used for the white fabric? They are some tee shirts that T was about to throw out. Score!

If you don’t already have a fabric flower tutorial pinned, make sure you check out Katie Bower’s of Bower Power Blog. It is the best I have seen, and there is a video. You’ll be a flower making professional in no time.

Are you overly excited to go green?
Will you be drinking green beer?
Any parades in your future?

Did you know Rolla, Missouri has one of the biggest Pats celebrations?
