Do It Yourself Christmas Wreaths?

House and Home/Janis Nicolay

Etsy/Blissful Meandering

YOU could do this! If you were inclined. And talented. 

Had lots of spare time, hot glue sticks and patience. 

Jenny from Little Green Notebook could surely do it. She is oh-so-talented. And she has kids. 

Three of them, like me. And a job. 

And yet she manages to do things like upholster head boards while her kids are sleeping. 

However, if you're like me, you are probably more prone to "buy it yourself" due to life logistics like three kids, a dishwasher to empty, gymnastics, music class and a house to Swiffer. 

Target and West Elm had some great wreaths that look "do it yourself"

Except, Cyber Monday is much, much too late to be thinking about purchasing them, because the ones I wanted are sold out by now.

By the way: West Elm, I'm loving most everything you did for holiday decor this year. 

As for me, with the current time predicament, its likely we'll end up with Home Depot evergreen wreaths on our front door and over the mantle. Dolled up slightly. But not painstakingly. 

I guess that will make them, "Modify Yourself".

Which might just make me the Sandra Lee of craft projects. 

Dear Santa

KarinLorenc on Etsy 

I would like to drink hot cocoa in these. 

Actually, they'd come in quite handy in making me feel special while drinking my morning coffee. 

This is becoming more routine, the morning coffee, since I've become mother of the three kiddos that you are watching 24/7 from your special Santa Spy Satellite. 

And if you were feeling generous, I see that Karin Lorenc, potter fantabulous,  has what might be some matching cereal bowls. That way, everyone in my family could feel special.  Perhaps she'd do matching dinner plates someday, with blue on the underside. 

They're so ME. Classic on the outside, with my can't-go-wrong-white. 

And smile-inducing blue on the inside. 

Found in Karin Lorenc's Etsy Store, here. 

Karin, you are my kind of potter, girl!
