Another Valentine!

I bet you think I don't have anything to do....

 

All I do is crafts, moving stuff around, and tying scarves.

 

But really!  it is what I do so I don't have to do what I need to do, which is school work!

 

So.... to avoid psychopathologies,

 

I made another valentine door hanging!

 

 

 

my niece was my photographer again....

 

see her sweet reflection in the glass?

 

I began with a heart shaped wreath,

 

lilies of the valley,

 

and 3 yard of red, glittery netting.

 

 

the pictures do not do the netting justice in how glittery and pretty it is...

 

so you will just have to trust me.  hee hee

 

To begin, you start weaving the netting through the wire that holds the wreath together.

 

 

 

I know, I know,  my nails need redone! 

 

Aren't they awful!?

 

Just close your eyes... and you cannot see how bad they are.

 

Once weaved through, I tied a bow.

 

 

I then cut apart the lilies and began glueing them behind the bow,

 

and to the actual wreath.

 

 

Okay,  just a disclaimer here, 

 

 I was at my mom's and she thinks I am beautiful

 

no matter what my hair looks like!

 

If I had been at my sister's,

 

 she would have quickly told me to fix my hair and suck in my stomach!

Doing crafts are a stress reliever for me, and I love it.....

 

so a valentine gift for my mother, and my stress is relieved!

 

 

Love,

Undo and Redo

 

My life has been in an uproar! 

 

and the way I deal with stress is...

 

  change, change and more change!

 

 

 

But the kind of change I love!

Since I have gotten all the new I am allowed to get....

I needed to see how to redo the old.



 

So, I began to look around my house and

 

 see what I could find to do different.



 

 

Notice the hutch in the back ground....

 

This picture is from an earlier post.....  Drop Ins

 

and a  picture of the hutch  in the post of Precious

 

I found what I was going to make different....

 

   I needed to change it up in my 'nest'

 

and change it up I did!

 

I took the top off of the hutch.....

 

and added a lamp.

 

 

Then, I  brought in a picture and shelf......

 

added a plaque from my family room....

 

 an H from my living room....

 

and the red berries off the dining room table.....

 

and Wah Lah!!!!

 

Change I love!

 

 

 

and from the front door angle......

 

 

I felt moving furniture around is a better change

than some other things I could have chosen to change.

 

Well, my weight is one thing I would like to change,

 

but the furniture was easier!

Besides, it was all free and made me 'change' happy.

 

My life is getting ready to change more...

 

and the new change is not going to be as fun!

 

But that is for another day....

 

Love,

Catrina
