Crafts

So, I love crafting, but it comes in waves...

For whatever reason, I was inspired to spend money on the day Waverly spent with her Grandma. Most likely because for those few precious hours, I could do whatever I wanted. What do I love to do but never have time or energy to do? Shop. So, I headed to Hobby Lobby with every intention of browsing to my little heart's content. It was glorious, truly refreshing.

Then, they got me; sucked me in like a vacuum cleaner grabs the unsuspecting, floor-length curtains:

SALE!

I started walking with purpose, making sure I covered every inch of that store. Thanks to my strong sense of self-discipline (yeah right), I only spent a little bit aka I had many things in my hands, but only bought a few.

Among my goodies: an 8 inch letter S and purple yarn, from which came this creation...

I love it. I love everything about it. Except this photo that I took with my phone and got a little grainy when I blew it up (wah waaahhhh). It. Was. Difficult. I looked up tutorials online, but ultimately, I just had to figure it out. This particular style "S" isn't easily conducive to effective yarn-wrapping because of the fanciness on the ends and every tutorial I found used an S with blunt ends. But I think it turned out beautifully and I have plans to wrap a C and K to create wall art for above our bed. 

Hobby Lobby, you'll be seeing me again soon.
