Until that day comes (or doesn't) I'll just occupy myself with baby crafts & lead a balanced life. In pursuit of my new vision, I made this yarn wreath on Saturday. I had a big peach-colored ribbon on it, but it looked weird so today ripped the bow off and made rosettes out of felt. I know some of the flowers look navy, but it's actually a deep violet color. My camera can't remember to take accurate pictures sometimes.
Mckay didn't make the biggest fuss over the wreath make-over (even after I hinted to him that he needed to) & when I pointed out the newly made flowers he said, "Oh! I thought you bought those flower things at Anthropologie or something and just glued them on!". Yes. Perfect reaction. He is forgiven for his underwhelming response to my craftiness!
I had so much fun making this one! I want to make 10 more-at least, too bad I only have one front door.
