Crafty Sunday. and funny stuffs.

First things first.  Thank you all for your sweet comments about my blah-gon-es-tee on Friday.  Many of you mentioned why you started your blogs and how important it is to stick to your roots and remember why you're doing it.  This is true.
I started my blog to keep a record of "our life".  "Our life" quickly became "my life/interests/hobbies/obsessions" when my husband started working crazy hours and then left for trainings and deployment.
I can tell you that the reason I try to blog almost everyday is because I adore my blog friends.  I want to talk to you everyday.  It's not about sharing, record-keeping, or documenting.  It's about communicating.  So I blog to communicate.  If there wasn't someone out willing to read it, I probably wouldn't be as obsessive about making sure I'm writing it.  I'm ridiculously grateful for all you willing folks.

A couple of weeks ago, this gal posted about a yarn wreath she had made.

I insist, and will continue to insist, that I'm not crafty.  I don't do mod podge.  Or stencils.  I have no Cricut.  I don't even have a color printer!  Nor can I turn on the sewing machine.

In fact, I really like this skirt.  And it doesn't seem too difficult.  When my husband comes home, maybe he will help me.  (Actually, I'm hoping that if I pick just the right time on just the right day, and maybe bake him some cookies, he'll just take over and make it for me.)

Anyway.
I usually spend my Sundays laying around.  Before you jump down my throat, let me say that I used to go to church on Sundays.  And it didn't always used to be this way.  However, deployment will do that to you.  As will a gym that offers NO classes on Sundays (areyoulisteningtomeATTSportscenter?)

So when I saw this craft idea, I took off for Jo-Ann's in my sweatpants and fake-Uggs.  I promptly ran into a student at the store.  And then I had to smile.  It was awkward.

I bought 3 types of yarn, lots of felt, and 3 wreaths for $17.  I made these 2 in some lovely fall colors.

I'm working on another one for the front door.

It will, of course, be hung on the INSIDE of the door though.  No need for it to blow away and have all my craftsmanship go to waste.

And since things look like this when I "craft", I didn't do a tutorial.

Instead, go to this lady's blog and read her tutorial.

If I can follow it, so can you.  Trust me on that.

Can we just talk about how much I hate the Kardashians?  I care not for their clothes, their shows, their children, whatever.
But this Scott Disick?  I think I like him.  Anyone who tells one of those girls when they're being a  tw*t is a good guy in my book.

Plus, I think we all need to adopt this attitude.

And he and I apparently have the same problem-solving skills.

For example:  My 'check engine' light was on intermittently from November of last year to this past May.  I ignored it.  Eventually it turned off and I haven't seen it since May.
See?  Problem solved.

Finally.  It feels like a national holiday.
