Move over Martha, there's a new woman in town

Well folks.  I did it.

I actually completed a Pinterest inspired craft and hell did not freeze over.

Third times the charm right??

Way back in September I got bit by the crafting bug.

I went out with my sister-in-law and bought all the things needed to create a fabulous Halloween ribbon wreath.

This is as far as I got.

I had already spent an obscene amount of money.

I thought people crafted because it's cheaper than buying?

Not in my experience!

Then when I went to go buy even MORE ribbon because I had run out, they didn't have any left.  So I admitted defeat and the not even 1/2 finished wreath sat in the basement for the next 6 months.

Last week I got this idea I wanted a nice neutral wreath for our front door.

I already had the wire wreath, so all I needed was some fabric.

Yes fabric, I figured it would be cheaper than ribbon.

Hahaha.  Jokes on me.

But at least I had a coupon, so off to JoAnn's I went.

I bought 3 yards of linen like fabric.

Half was white.  Half was natural.

And then I began cutting.  And cutting.  And cutting.

Then I had this conversation with my husband and cursed myself for trying to craft again.

It's torture people.  TORTURE.

About 1 section in I decided the fabric was too thick, it wasn't working and looked like crap.

I gave up.

{Dramatic much}

Then the hubs of all people, forced me to keep going. 

So I did. 

And 5 nights of work later I actually finished. 

And it's fabulous.  And exactly what I had envisioned!

I'm in love.

But mark my words.....I won't EVER be making another rag wreath again!

{Yeah right}

Happy Monday!
