What have I done??


Well, I'll tell ya, right now, here on this blog.
This first one I like to call.....

The Carpal Tunnel Autumn Wreath:
I saw this wreath on someone's blog the other day, and thought it looked easy to make! And it was!
But the gal failed to mention that if you have carpal tunnel, it will flare up while making this wreath.
First, start with a wire hanger and bend it into a circle.

Then, go get your fine self some cute Fall fabric (on sale right now at Joanne's for 40 percent off)
Cut your fabric into 1 in wide strips, while not using your fabric wheel cutter thingy that looks like a mini pizza cutter because you can't find it so you had to use fabric scissors and had numb wrists when you were done cutting the fabric from all the opening and closing of the scissors while cutting the said fabric.

Then, tie the fabric strips one by one around the hanger making sure to tie it in a double knot. And before you know it, you've watched an episode of Chuck and your wreath is done!!

Then make a bow

(ribbon bought at the dollar store), hot glue it on the wreath and Voila! Hang him up, your done!


(I love a dub dub this fabric)

( I.love.Halloween)




(Awww....friends)


The second installment of this blog coming tomorrow! I know you're waiting with baited breath for more..
