After being at this blogging thing for just shy of 2 years now (have I stopped to thank you lately for just how much I appreciate you making all of this possible?), I have witnessed quite a few DIY and crafting crazes burst onto the scene and then ever so quietly lose their fizzle. Today I thought I’d share a few of the newest trends I’ve been spotting more and more lately to entice you to take your creativity to whole new realms!

Heads up chevron: These new kids on the block might just give you a run for your money!

Trend No. 1
Moss

Everywhere I look this spring, I am seeing more and more moss-incorporating projects that have me swooning! What’s not to love? The deep green colors and all of that texture make this one crafting ingredient that I cannot wait to do more with!

    I love these trends! I’ve been noticing them a lot lately, too. I think that pallets have been around for a while and are just too fun to go away any time soon. I’m wondering if hexagons are the new pattern to take 2012. I’ve been seeing them around quite a bit in different types of media! 🙂

    I love this round up! And almost bought both moss & butterflies for a spring wreath I’m creating… too ironic!
