Crafty...

I used to be one of the craftiest people around.
I always had a project or 5 on the horizon and things I wanted and NEEDED to do. They sometimes would come out AMAZING and other times, a little lack luster, but always it was therapeutic.

Know what I've discovered?

Pinterest may have ruined my creative streak.

I used to be able to look at something and craft it into whatever I wanted it to be, and try something new, and see if it worked. Now, I think of something I've "Seen on Pinterest before" and then take a couple stabs at it and end up a little disappointed that it didn't turn out like the pro-crafty posts on Pinterest.

Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE Pinterest, I just might try to stay away from it a little more. I need my crafty streak back.

I worked on a couple projects tonight - one of which is a Christmas gift for my Relay people, which you'll have to wait till the 11th of December to see... but I'll get the other one posted as soon as it's done (might be awhile).

Damn you Pinterest.... I thought we HAD something!

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!
