PROJECT: Mini Christmas wreath…aka the peephole wreath

Being stuck at home is no fun.  Even worse is when you feel a little south of good and are bored stiff.  But enough about Than….  har har…blech.  Even I’m not laughing at that one.  Not that I laugh at any of them….

I’m very tired today.  G came home from work and I fell asleep in 2 seconds flat once I knew it was safe to pass completely out.  Woke up an hour later and decided to finish this little wreath I’d started earlier in the day.

I was sitting in my chair with my rolling craft cart by me and I noticed that I had an unused cardboard wreath shape cutout and just begging for “something”.  As I was getting up to get a drink of water I tripped over my giant bag o’ felt and decided the two should meet.

So I cut out a bunch of leaf shapes from all the little scraps I refuse to throw away (I just put them in baggies and tell myself I’ll use them someday.  HA!  I finally did it! Take THAT obsessive need to hoard craft supplies!)

Here’s the end result…a small wreath that has been hung over top the peephole on the front door.

 

Voila!  The peephole wreath.  I know, it just sounds bad, but it is, what it is.

My photography is getting worse.  It can’t all be my shaking hand, I have the “shake correct” setting on the phone camera.  Something has to be wrong with the camera on my phone.  Figures…all sorts of issues are popping on my phone.

PROJECT: Christmas Angels update

They’re finished!  I’m acting happy because they’re finished!

I tried to use the fishing line to hang them up, but it kept getting tangled and I had zero patience for that madness so I cut my losses and grabbed my handy dandy white thumbtacks and voila!  Angels on the walls.

Three things:

1.  I don’t get why they look so small in this picture.  They are actually quite big.  Like 10 inches long each and they fill the wall just fine.  But the picture makes them look tiny.  So weird.

2.  Ignore the plastic still on the lamp shade.  G has this thing about leaving protective plastic on things.  This one was a battle I decided not to fight.  I saved my battle for taking the plastic screen cover on the flat screen tv.  (sigh)

3.  Also ignore Than’s collection of “stuff” on the couch.  He can’t go anywhere without 12343490t682034 toys, books and various video game controllers.  I should take a picture of the floor in front of the couch where he makes his daily “pallet”.  Pillows, covers, assorted Pillow Pets…and six zillion pairs of socks.  Which is weird because I make him clean this up daily and take the socks to his laundry basket in his bathroom.

It’s Invasion of the Socks I tell you.  They multiply like rabbits and plot to take over the world when we aren’t looking.

ETA:  Here’s a pic of  “The Pallet”  (again, ignore my shaky picture taking skills.  It’s hit or miss with me lately – having to have EMG done in 2 weeks  because right hand is fast losing abilities…nerve damage from disease may be taking over…ugh)
