Death by tulle...

Today I crafted, and there was much rejoicing.

I wanted to make some fall decorations for around the house and thought that a wreath for the front door would be a pretty easy day project. 
I wanted to do a version of this one here:

I'm not a big fan of just Halloween decorations, I like to decorate for the season. That and there was no black tulle at the craft store. 

Here's the supplies you'll need:


3 rolls of tulle
ribbon
large hoop (I used a cross stitch hoop)


See it's pretty easy, and fairly cheap too. 


Cut the tulle into 14-16 inch strips.
This will be tedious, and you may hate me after the first roll. I'm sorry, really I am.
Then tie the tulle around the hoop, add the ribbon.
Add an embelishment if you like.
Use the ribbon to hang on your door.
Do a little dance.

I used chocolate brown and gold tulle. Here's what it looked like before I added the ribbon:
 

I'm sorry you're just a tulle. 

Haha! Couldn't resist.

And here's how pretty it looks on my front door:

It sort of reminds me of a tutu.

I love it.

HAPPY FALL!!!

It's finally here! My favorite season. Time for falling leaves, crisp mornings, scarves, jackets, sweaters, golds, reds and yellows. Time to make stew and soup and chili, watch football, snuggle with blankets and the dog child. And the mister too! Time to jump into piles of leaves, carve pumpkins and wear boots. 

I love fall. 
I really, really love fall.

I mean I really, really, really love fall. 

Please remind me of that when the rain starts again.

 

The weather it is a changin'

It's officially fall. Yep, I said it. O-fi-cal! How do I know?

Last night was the finale of Big Brother. Yay Hayden, but I think Lane and Brittney need their own show.

And the five day forecast is rain, rain and more rain. 

So it's fall. 

And on top of it all, I think I'm coming down with something. 
Great!
I spent all day in bed today watching Grey's Anatomy. Not necessarily because I wanted to (even though I really did) but because I had no energy to do anything else. In fact by the time I cleaned up the house, picked up the mister and the veggies I was spent. I've been on the couch ever since. And the mister has been pretty great, he even went and got me vanilla ice cream and 7-up (the magic ingredients for a cure).

Now I'm watching Top Chef: Just Desserts. 
I'm sure it will make me want to bake.
Probably not a good idea given my situation.

Time for ice cream.

Goodnight.
