The Old Gal Still Has It!

When I was a young mother I loved crafting.  I taught myself how to do all kinds of needle work.  I learned how to Tole paint and sew.  I was always on the lookout for fun cute things to make.  As my children got older and became involved in more things and I worked full time.  I found that I didn't have the time or energy for anything else.  Now I have more time to do things that I enjoy. But mostly along came "Pintrest"  I don't have to leave the comfort of my home to see the latest crafts.  I love it!!!!  This Halloween wreath caught my eye.   I clicked on over to sassysanctuary skimmed her directions and said "OH yeah I can do this!"  It's not that easy getting back into the craft world.  I found that I don't like shopping on a time table.  I have a limited amount of time after work before I need to be home to help with Kenneth.  I usually don't find everything that I need at one store.  Craft stores don't have enough cashiers and Fabric stores think that no one is in a hurry!  I finally got all the things that I needed.  I ripped the fabric into the pieces and started tying and tying and tying.  Two hours later I was out of fabric and only half way done with the wreath.  I had to make another trip for more fabric, one of the "E's" was broken from the store and they didn't have anymore(another store to visit)  Soooo after 5 hours of  tying, 4 yards of fabric (I bought the wrong size  wreath form) and 3 trips to multiple stores,  I have what I'm referring to "the family heirloom Halloween wreath." Hey the old gal still has it!  My family all complimented me on it.  And it was fun!!!!!
