She’s crafty
Hello, my name is Leslie and I’m a newly created craft-a-holic. Michael’s, JoAnne’s….beware. I’m coming for you and all of your lovely craft supplies. I’ve always loved a good craft here and there, but lately it’s become an obsession. Ummm, do you see my dining room table/craft table below? It’s out of control.
Kept coming across these yard wreaths on Pinterest and they really appealed to me so I goggled them, found a tutorial and got to work. I actually had all of the supplies on hand minus the felt for the flowers (hence the deadily trip to JoAnne’s at 8pm last night). It actually came together pretty easily – maybe 30 minutes to wrap the wreath then another 30 dinking around with the felt flowers. Now that I know I can do it, it’s on to other themed ones – I’m thinking a halloween one, perhaps a Valentine’s Day one….the list goes on and on!
I’ve also got a drift wood hanging thingy in the works for outside (gotta come up with a better name for that….) as well as some other spooky things. I’ll share them with you soon!
Whoopin’ it up at WWU
Me in front of my department’s building – nice and small.
Adam in front of our new department’s building – they built this baby a year after I graduated – go figure.Spent our five year anniversary back where it all began, Bellingham, Wash. We booked a romantic night at the Chrysalis Inn & Spa. OMG – the best room I’ve ever stayed in! Huge comfy beds, large bathtubs and views to die for with these great window seats. The whole place smelled like a spa! Unfortunately, we didn’t partake in the spa activities as we were too busy driving around town looking at our old houses and hangouts. Lunch at Boundary Bay, dinner at The Pepper Sisters then lunch the next day at the Colophon Cafe in old Fairhaven. Sigh. So delightful.
We also walked around the college campus – man, nothing makes you feel older than that! They’ve added a few new buildings and remodels some dorms too. It felt much smaller than I remember. Good times though, really good times.
Pillow talk
Spent yesterday evening making throw pillows out of the BFs old, ratty shirts that he couldn’t part with. My sewing skills are far below par, but with my aunt’s help they came out pretty good! At least the designs were centered – that was my main concern. I need to figure out how to nicely sew the bottoms shut since they got a little knarly looking, but once they’re sitting on a bed, I figure no one will notice š
