Ok so what I have been working on, besides my personal life.. ha ok TMI, but seriously. What I have been working on are wreaths! I love love love making fall wreaths due to, you cannot mess them up.. literally. Well at my craft fair a lady sold me a whole boxes of straw wreaths (heheheeee) I obviously bought them because I have a slight obsession with fall décor. :)
Anyway so I went to dollar tree, because they have cheap flowers that I can make look good, and I decorated them all up pretty like. I was impressed with them, I used stuff from the dollar tree and left over fall décor that I used last year in the home I was living in with my childrens father who apparently decided I cheated on him with a high school boyfriend I had for 12 months... (I'm obviously having a hard week sorry). So old stuff, new stuff, made these wreaths shine. In addition I had to use the bag full of pine cones that got thrown into the deal (because what doesn't go better together than pine cones and fall) (Except maybe pine cones and Christmas....). Whatever I hate pine cones and I used them so I felt accomplished! yay gold star for me.
So after my crummy week a pounded out 11 wreaths and gave one to my loving grandma because I know she loves crafts and that's where I inherited my talent, (and she is good for business ;) ) I felt pretty good after being told all week I was a cheating..... something something. Look, break from the wreaths, if you have two kids with a person and had a not so ideal childhood (divorced parents, two or more step parents, moved a few times, money was tight etc. ) You (or at least I) have a decent if not great vision in your head on how you want you childrens lives to go. Being there for your spouse and working out issues is the right of way ESPECIALLY after having a vision in your head all your life that you couldn't wait to grow up and achieve! End of the day I feel emotionally drained from trying to be a strong mom and trying to realize that I did the right thing by trying to prove my innocents. Its just hard when you care about someone so much it makes you physically sick and they refuse to give you the time of day. That you have put so much into making the relationship great and trusting them like you never have trusted anyone. And they ditch you like your moldy piece of bread.
Sorry rant over.
Crafting makes it all go away, sometimes, and defiantly lets me feel better. No kids, music, and concentration on nothing but creating awesome pieces of work. I hope everyone likes the wreaths and gets some inspiration on redoing some old décor in your home or maybe even finding some good treasures at the goodwill or garage sale and revamping it into something awesome this fall. :)
