Craftiness Here and There

I love the idea of a handmade home – little bits of handmade craftiness here and there. To me it says cozy and soft, love and happiness, and it adds something unique and personal to a home that cannot be found anywhere else.

Of course some of my larger projects, like my Garden Patch Granny Afghan and my Granny Cushion have accomplished this, adding a very personal and homespun look to my home, but lately I have added a few more small handmade touches.

This layered fabric flower is attached to the little cork board I have sitting on the dresser in my kitchen. It doesn't do anything but look pretty, but that is enough for me.

I made another crochet basket, this time to hold all the tea light candles in the bathroom cupboard. A plastic bag or container would have worked just as well, but I think this looks much prettier.

And with some leftover fabric from making pillows for the patio, I made this bunting. Once the weather turns and stays warm, I am going to hang this either in the tree or along the fence in the backyard to bring a little craftiness outside. I am excited to see how it looks.

What craftiness have you added to your home lately?
