Sweet November Rain

It's been cloudy and dreary here for the past week or so. I am loving every drop of Seattle sunshine that's been falling on us. My only sadness is that I have yet to break out my rain boots. I haven't been a great blogger recently, I have been noodling in my head what I can do to boost my post numbers and one thing that will contribue greatly is that I've dropped a blog for the season. Hocus Pocus will not continue to get attention, and come the first of the year, my 365 blog will get less attention as well, infact, I'm not really sure what will become of that blog. I'm still noodling that as well.

One thing for sure is that this blog will be getting more attention. Or at least that's my hope.

Thanks for sticking with me in my rainy day phase....

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
