It's night o'clock. Let's go to bed...

Thank goodness I was interested in crafting up a few more wreaths because this movie, How Do You Know, isn't all that great. I love Paul Rudd (I mean look at that adorable grin!), but he's just not cutting it here. So I have been consuming this movie time by wrapping straw form wreaths with ribbon. It's so enjoyable and I love knowing that the people I am giving them to will have a lovely reminder of special I think they are because of the value they bring to my life :)

This one is black and yellow with a few buttons and a bit of tulle on the right. I love the mix of flora, polka dot, and stripes for interest!

This one is a classic black and white combo with a cute yellow bow (it actually looks like a tape measure) and a few black buttons. So lovely!
Have an enjoyable Thursday evening and wake up to your Friday with a spectacular outlook on the weekend ahead of you, dolly!

Accept what you can't change and change what you can't accept

Well, well, well dolly it has certainly been a long time since my last post. Many things have happened. I've been slaving over papers--gah thank goodness that 25 page fucker is out of the way and so are the 5 and 10 page ones also due this week. Imagine my pretty that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday you have multiple pages of your brilliant thoughts and writing due to turn in. It's been driving me crazy! So now I have this abundance of creative energy that is no longer being re-channeled into research writing.

Also, Grandma Bev is back home after a three week stay in the hospital back in January. I have been staying with her ever since. Its a bit of an emotional roller coaster as each day is filled with finding the positive, but I feel blessed to be able to spend time with her. She taught me how to sew <3

Speaking of fabric, I bought a kindle as my graduation-with-cum-laude gift (I graduate in 17 days!!!! with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a minor in Environmental Studies). So I bought some fabric to make a cover/case to hold my wonderful treat (I'll post pictures in a bit). Also, I picked up some ribbon, a straw wreath form and tulle circles to make a spring-summer wreath. Take a look!
