wreath

So I've been sick since Friday. I think I was actually starting to get sick on Wednesday, but didn't know I was sick until I woke up with a sore throat Friday. Blah. I've had to call in sick twice this week to work, which shouldn't make me feel guilty, but it always does. I asked my sister if she feels guilty when she calls in and she gave me an emphatic, "No." Ha! She said she used to, but not anymore. So then, in order to ease my guilt I googled "When should I call in sick to work." Yes I really did this. And I found an article that said when you have a stuffed up nose or cough or a fever you should definitely call in sick. I had all three so I think I'm good.

So I've been pretty bored at home this week. I've been trying to clean out our DVR and catch up on shows I need to watch. I've also been writing a lot. YAY. Working from home like always. And trying to actually do creative projects. So all in all it's actually been a really productive week. But I've still been feeling a little behind. It's funny because I really haven't been resting at all. I've constantly been working on SOMETHING. So...maybe I should start working on resting. :)

Here's a fun project I did this week. My mom has always made wreaths at different holidays and I've never really been interested in doing it myself. But over Thanksgiving, my sister asked me to come in and help my mom because she was frustrated over the wreath and when I sat down and started working on it, I actually really enjoyed it. So I told my sister we should make one for her place. She was not at all interested. So I took it as a challenge and became determined to make one of my own.

I stumbled upon this wreath on a blog Monday and absolutely loved it.

So I decided to tackle this as my first wreath. It was a lot more work than I thought. And I did find my OCD alter-ego trying to come out, but all in all I enjoyed it. I really like the way it turned out.

So now I'm kind of obsessed with wreaths. I'm thinking New Year's wreath, Valentine's wreath, Easter wreath, Birthday wreath, Mother's Day wreath, Father's Day wreath....

Love.
