Hoop Art

I  mentioned in a post last week that I had struggled with this one wall in my living room. Our living room is long and therefore a little tricky to arrange and this wall next to the back door has always seemed lost. But, finding this great cabinet has made all the difference and I love it there. Next, I knew I wanted something next to it to tie in that blank wall with the cabinet and make it look more at home.

The family photo canvas was a great beginning and then I wanted to make some hoop art to go with the canvas. I chose these words because they are meaningful to me and beautiful to me and what we want for our family:

Wisdom
Knowledge
Understanding
Truth
Goodness
Beauty

These are words I frequently hear together in CC {Classical Conversations} circles, and I find them inspiring and beautiful and want to incorporate them into our home.

You may remember that I had already made the wisdom hoop around our first day of school celebration. So I grabbed one hoop at a time and just kind of went with whatever inspiration struck for that one.

I love how they are all different yet all tie together with common themes. And, while I did not make these for a gift - any hoop art would make a lovely and economical gift!

Cost: Since I cannot get wooden embroidery hoops locally {closest store thirty minutes each way} I bought the wooden embroidery hoops when I was at Hobby Lobby recently. The two larger ones were $1.29 each and the three smaller ones were 0.99 each for a total of $5.55. All other fabric, lace, thread and embellishments were things I have had on hand or were leftover from another project.
