{A Sampling} 2014 DIY Projects

As 2014 wraps up, I just want to ThAnK YoU for being here! 

Blogging is new to me this year... I started blogging in April. And, as is often the case when we're starting something new, I wasn't always sure whether or not this blogging thing would "take" or if I could fit it into our busy family schedule.

You, reading along, have encouraged me to continue. It's been a blessing for me to get to know bits of your stories. I'm so appreciative for this creative outlet in my life. To share the joy of "nesting" with you is a gift to me.

Thank you, friends.

Here are a few of the projects I enjoyed working on 
this year, in the order they are shown above:

DIY Shabby Year-Round Wreath

White Barnyard Animal Candle Holders

Fabric Garland DIY

Vintage Cookie Tin Cake Centerpieces

New Year's Decorating {Clock Mantel}

Cable Knit Sweater Mason Jars

The Best and Easiest Ways to Dry Hydrangeas

Country Chic Chair Swag

Nesting Boxes Advent

Thank you for being a "part of the start" of Little Farmstead! 

I'm excited for the new year.

See you soon!

{Vintage Cookie Tin} Cake Centerpieces

Today I am excited to be participating in a Holiday Thrift Store Challenge, along with several other blogging friends (you'll find links to their thrifted makeovers at the end of this post!), hosted by Thoughts from Alice.

Here was our challenge: Purchase an item or items at a thrift store, for under $25, to use for Christmas decor in a creative way. Give the items a complete makeover or use them in a creative vignette arrangement.

My thrift store purchase: Vintage cookie tins

My idea: Christmas Cake Centerpieces to be used on dining or dessert tables, fireplace mantels or anywhere else in your home that could use a festive touch!
