My head has been spinning lately with thoughts and ideas for things I want to do and make and places I want to go and things I want to see. In fact my mind has been spinning to the point that the rest of me has been paralyzed with confusion about where to start. Admittedly things have been crazier than usual. That said, yesterday I was finally able to sit down and finish up three projects I had started but been unable to complete. The first is a set of three wood blocks that my sweet and handy husband was kind enough to cut me. I just painted them red, added some Sweetwater paper, cut some letters with my Cricut, and added a little ribbon. Very simple, but I think they will be super cute sitting on my coffee table this Christmas.
The second was a set of HOME letters from Adornit. The paper and brads are Flutterby from Doodlebug Designs.
and finally a wreath inspired by the one on the cover of the Holiday issue of Craft Trends. I intend to hang it on the door of my office at work because it makes me smile, and I need to smile more at work.
I'm super proud of the fact that other than the $3.99 wreath I had everything to make each of these projects at home already. It really felt great to use some of my favorite stuff to make cute new things.
On the home front I'm very happy to report that my fabulous, adorable, sweet daughter Amanda has moved back home. Long story short I'm afraid it is going to be some time yet before she finds a guy who comes close enough to her maturity level and work ethic to live together. While I want nothing more than for her to be happy, I am not at all disappointed to have her back home. It sure does seem like she has a lot more stuff now than just a few months ago when she left though.
