Top 10 Posts of 2021 from A Pretty Fix!

As 2022 begins, I’m taking a moment to share the top 10 posts of 2021 from A Pretty Fix!

It’s been another crazy year with a few interesting detours for me. I finally opened my Etsy shop with some of my handcrafted fibre art pieces for sale. I’ll soon be providing fibre art courses and crafting supplies for all of my fellow-DIYers – so stay tuned!

I’ve also been updating the blog with a more user-friendly navigation menu along the top. I’ve grouped all crafting DIYs under “Create” and decorating and homemaking tips under “Decorate,” while keeping the most popular posts – of all time – under “Popular Posts.” 

I’ll continue to make more updates in the weeks to come!  

In the meantime, I want to take this moment to thank each and everyone of you. Whether you are a new reader or someone who’s been following the blog since the beginning, it’s been a joy to have you along for the ride. Without you, I would not be as inspired to continue sharing all that I create, make or decorate at home. I am truly thankful.

9.  How To Make a Rustic Mixed Moss Wreath

This mixed moss wreath was my take on the traditional moss wreath that typically uses only 1 type of moss. To this day, it surprises me just how easy it is to keep the moss attached – I always imagined it falling apart! But mine remains intact and ready to be used again next summer 🙂

8.  Bookshelf Styling When You Have a LOT of Books

As someone who has far too many books (many still waiting to be placed on a shelf), this was a great start at getting them out. And I loved finding a few small pockets of space to decorate my bookcase so that it still felt stylish somehow!
