Hi. I'm back!

I'm back! Admittedly, i've been in a bit of a blogging dry spell. I could blame it on many things...but none of them are great excuses...so let's just move on!

First of all, a little update on the baby situation. We now have a plan! If Elliot doesn't decide to come on his own during the next week...my doc will induce me next Friday (Nov. 19th)! I have made a little "progress" on my own though...so he said I could go before then...who knows...but we'll definitely have a baby by next weekend, yay! I really wanted him to be here (and us be home) by Thanksgiving...so this is great news in my book =)

I also wanted to share a crafty Christmas project I tackled this week. I made a wreath. I found a really great, easy tutorial here . I picked up the few supplies I needed at Hobby Lobby and got to crafting!
Originally I was going to do a fall/Thanksgiving wreath...but figured it wouldn't have much time to be displayed...so I went straight to the Christmas colors!

Anytime I set the wreath down for more than about 2 minutes, Felix thought I'd bought him a new, super-cool bed. Leave it to a cat to figure EVERYTHING is about them! And here's the final product!

I really like how it turned out! Now I just have to figure out where I plan to hang it! I should've taken a few pics on the flower-making process...but the tutorial I linked to is really the best source for that! I plan on making more of these (if I have the time!) to hang throughout the year. You can also wrap your wreath with fabric instead of yarn if you so desire...the possibilities are quite endless.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I plan on making a few freeze-able meals this weekend if I have time...so we at least have a few homeade meals to pull from once Elliot gets here! Any great freeze-friendly recipes?? Please share!!

  1. Love this wreath! I can't wait to see it in person and I can't wait for you to tutor me how to make one myself! Bravo.

  3. Oh my goodness! Amy I HAVE to make one of these. It looks like a lot of fun and one of those things that wouldn't take up the whole day... Nice. I can't wait to do this...

    And as far as freezable meals, well... I love to freeze half of most batches of soup I cook. That always freezes well and is easy to stockpile pretty quickly over a couple weeks if I know something is coming up.

    Praying for your delivery! :)

  4. I love it! You and April are both so creative. I really think the creative gene just skipped me altogether. haha
