In Trouble and Good Luck!
February 19, 2013 by admin • 18 Comments
In Trouble, that would be Ms. Desdi, our sweet little dog who decided to get my attention one way or another the other day…Good Luck would be a shamrock which I was working on while Desdi decided to “de-stuff” her toy. Anyway, it kept her busy for a while and I was enjoying my quiet time.
This simple craft idea just came to mind after some inspiration on Pinterest . I had all of the supplies on hand and started right away on this quick and super- easy craft.
My supplies included a template of a shamrock which I found on-line, some card-stock, green felt and glue. I cut out the shamrock, traced it onto the card stock and then cut out the card-stock shamrock. At this point I added some glue and placed the card-stock shamrock glue-side down onto the felt.
Making sure it was tacked on good, I cut around the shape of the shamrock and repeated the process on the other side.
Very simply celebrating St.Patrick’s Day here ” at Home”. I have to say, this shutter/wreath combo lends itself as a wonderful back-drop for seasonal decor. Guess what will be “hopping” over next?
Come back and join me for another fun project here at home. What about you, are you decorating for St.Patrick’s Day?

Look at that sweet little face! Cute shamrock Moni!
Cute idea. I have been getting my “shamrock” on as well. I will have to try to make one of these myself. Thanks for the idea.
I LOVE your shutter/wreath combination!! I have never seen a wreath like that. Can I ask where you got it? I’m a Hobby Lobby person & I know they don’t have it. Also, I am getting some old shutters tomorrow. What size do you have in that combo?
Oh I love it
I married into a very Irish name, so I’m trying to embrace all things St. Patty’s. And that face – oh who could be mad at a face like that? Haha Ms. Desdi is too cute
I really love the twig wreath and shutter background you’ve used. It’s quite versatile for any projects to show them off.
That’s the kind of project I like, quick and easy. You make it look that way anyway. I’ll have to see if I have any green felt.
While cleaning out the shed last Spring and summer I found another box of felt beside what I had in sewing room. We had alot of “stuff”, it had followed us all over the country. We’ve moved a few times in the 44 yrs. we’ve been married.
I don’t really do much if anything for St. Patricks’ Day.
Now Easter I love making paper crafts galore for that day. Our grand kids are all too big now for Easter bunny but I love to make things anyway. Gives me something to do and keeps me out of trouble. If I knew where I could sell them I would. Love your blog Moni.
I really like this simple wreath. Not like it, I LOVE it!
Very festive. I see that your little dog was crafting right along with you, Moni! Such a cute post!
I am loving how you are using this shutter/wreath combo. I can’t decide which look I like the best. If I must choose – probably the heart. Our dog thinks the purpose of a toy is to destroy, also!
Love the shamrock and the simplicity of tucking it in your wreath. I’m shaking my head at Lady Desdemona. She’s a mess for sure!
Hugs,

Cute wreath & cute dog!!
Oh Desdi…you’re so cute!!! I love your wreath Moni!!!

Great elements, and the white shutter and wreath really showcase the shamrock. I’ll decorate a bit for St. Patrick’s Day, but don’t know what I’ll do yet.
Looks very easy to create and very cute!
Thanks so much for link up at Real Family Fun at The Real Thing with the Coake Family.
Have a great weekend.

Looks great! I love how you can change it up for each holiday, so cute!
Aw, cute puppy! I love this wreath too-love the simplicity and rustic look. I am not into super cutesy St. Patrick’s Day stuff, so this is great!
Now how could you ever get angry with that sweet face.
No decorating her for St.Patrick’s but I love looking at all
Pinterest has to offer….
Have a great day!
