My Odd Fascination

My Mom always gave me a little bit of a hard time for my fascination of those things dark and grim. I can't say that I've ever grown out of it.From the Holocaust books and movies to the wreckage of the Titanic to the short moment in time when I wanted to work at a funeral home, things like this leave me in awe. I spent a huge portion of my senior project on The Holocaust, but an even bigger portion of Junior high on the Titanic.

I don't know that I would be as fascinated by the stories of the Titanic if she had made her voyage to New York unscathed. But then again, would any one else in the world care much either? Titanic would be in the history books as the "Unsinkable ship" without the (hehe) next to it.

I can't believe it's been 100 years. I figured there would be all sorts of documentaries and I've been eating them up!

And for the record? I was into Titanic way WAY before Kate and Leo jumped on board... though I thought the movie was decent... Any ways, here's to you Titanic. May you rest in peace.

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!
