diy projects...

I attempted the cool wreath but it didn't quite turn out like the picture... It's still kinda cute, I guess... but probably not hang on the wall forever cute. I might tie a big red ribbon around it and hang it over a mirror for christmas... or it might go in the trash, we'll see.

I have a new obsession. Crocheting. Yes, it's true. I'm a 76-year-old woman. It's just so fun. My friend Kristen makes the cutest, cutest circle scarves ever! You HAVE to check them out here!!!! So I thought I would try my hand at it and yes, it is super easy, but my scarves aren't nearly as cute as hers and I still don't really know what I'm doing and It's really hard to judge how big/long it is going to be... so i'll just keep trying. Thank goodness for 'How to Crochet' youtube videos haha I don't think I'm using thick enough yarn or maybe I'm using the wrong size hook? IDK. Those detailed things mean nothing to me. Please give me pointers if you know how to crochet!! :)

Here are the only two I've made so far (well I guess i've made 3 but the first one fell apart! ha!)

Last weekend the hubby and I {well I didn't really do much since we have a tiny baby who doesn't like to play by herself} painted our back living room from this dark, kinda weird brown color to my favorite color ever - silver sage! It looks a million times better. So much brighter and fun. Now I just need new things to hang on the wall and maybe some new lamps too. One thing alllllllways leads to another, doesn't it.
