lots and lots of crafting

crafting: what one does when one's bank account doesn't supply funds for Christmas gifts.
that's the definition... check websters... scouts honor! haha.

so i've been feeling pretty crafty lately. and not in the sneaky sense. jennifer and i went to starbucks recently (a rarity when living in dahlonega), and we saw the world's cutest wreath.
we thought it was so cute that we decided to make our own interpretation. so, after 4 trips to walmart for styrofoam balls, a wreath base, green yarn, and red sparkly ornaments we created this.somehow, ours ended up more substantial. probably because we were working from a base and not attaching them to eachother. also, we only had one size of ornament, which didn't help. needless to say, we love it... but now we have to figure out who gets to keep it...

last week, i also did erin's hair for a wedding she was in. she was just going to hot roll it, but at the last minute, the other brides maids said they were having theirs put up.. so she frantically called me and asked me to do it the next morning. she came over that night, i played around, and ended up with this. these are pics from the practice round, but it looked pretty similar... just more polished. oh, and the funny thing was.. when she got to the wedding, everyone's hair was down. haha. atleast her's looked the best. ;)i was pretty happy with the end result. :)
other things i've been making... several scarves. i'm on number 4, and i've decided it's for myself, because i've never made on just for me. plus i'm also in love with this particular yarn. i've also been painting and making some top secret christmas presents for my roommate's christmas exchange... it's tomorrow... i'm not going to finish in time. oops. haha. here's the painting i did for jennifer.
she was in the room while i was doing it, but i saw the one she made for me the night before, so we're even. we were watching mona lisa smile and feeling very inspired. :) also, it's supposed to be crooked. haha.

let see, what else. i'm making something for erin. and right now i'm actually working on hand made christmas cards for friends and family. they're a tad time consuming, so i won't be able to give them to everyone, but every little bit saved helps right?

well, that's about it for my craft update right now. i'm going to try and get some sleep. much to accomplish tomorrow... too much.
