Crafty Fox
OK, so if you know me, you know I am the LEAST crafty/creative person on the planet. I can’t decorate my house, I can’t knit, stamp, cross-stitch or scrapbook. I can’t make fancy bows and the thought of making my own soap causes my ass to twitch. It’s just not a gene I got.
But I do like to have some sort of seasonal decoration on my front door. A few years ago, through Southern Living at Home, I bought this wrought iron basket that hangs on your front door and the idea is that it easily holds silk flowers and you can tie a ribbon on it or not as your heart desires. I much prefer this to wreaths because wreaths are hard to make and require way too much storage room. This solution means I only have a few bags of silk flowers and some ribbon to store. Anyway, in the past my attempts at creating my seasonal baskets have been less than stellar. I don’t know why, but they have been. Well, I like my Christmas one, but that’s it. I don’t like any of the others.
Earlier this week, I was in the craft store for another semi crafty project that may or may not ever get completed when I decided that my fall flowers were just not cutting it. And the fact that florals were 50% off was the deciding factor. I just picked up what appealed to me and sort of put it together in my hand and decided I liked the way it looked so I bought it. That evening, I put it together and was so impressed with my work that I had to toot my own horn here and show you the fruits of my labor.
Isn’t it pretty and fallish? Never mind the fact that it’s still 90 degrees outside and probably will be for the next month and a half. I feel fallish so my door is going to look fallish too.

It’s loverly! We don’t even pretend to do ANY seasonal decorating save a few items for Christmas.
Damn girl, go on with your bad self. Are you taking orders?
It *is* pretty and stylish. I want!
I think it’s gorgeous! I’m jealous - I have no decorating sense whatsoever. M keeps saying he wants us to decorate the house. I look at him blankly when he says that, because I think he’s still under the impression that as a women, I somehow will know how to do this. Yeah, not so much.
But I love the basket - ever so cute!
That is gorgeous! I would love to have one of those on my door. And you say you aren’t crafty - I think you most certainly are!
That is great! I think your crafty gene may be revealing itself.
That looks fantastic! I also have one of those Southern Living door hanging basket thingys and mine looks downright pathetic next to yours!
That could be IN Southern Living. Day-UMM!
