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!
I have been thinking less and less about derby skating lately and more and more about just skating in general. My knee is still weak, I am still a ways away from skating and even further from derby skating. I have been asked a lot about "when am I going to be on a team" and really, I don't know the answer to that, and I'm not entirely sure if it will ever happen at this point. I guess I'm a little discouraged, but mostly taking derby practice out of my life freed up my time, and after spending an entire weekend doing next to nothing I don't feel entirely guilty about not skating right now. Right after my injury I felt pressure to get back on wheels asap, but I think taking my time and listening to my body has been the best answer for me. I would like to get back to the rinks at least once a week here in the near future, but I am mostly concentrating on being able to walk up stairs without pain. It's the little things in life! Rat City season opener is on Saturday and I can't WAIT, I guess I'll REALLY know how I feel about getting back on my wheels after I see them play!
