Feeling Crafty

Now that I am graduated and don't have homework to come home to every night, I told Darrell that I needed a new hobby. I decided to make a fall wreath and then addiction set in. I made the great choice (or mistake) of joining Pinterest and it is definitely feeding to my addiction. I am an on-the-verge-craft-a-holic. I am definitely (and obviously, if you look at the pictures) still a beginner, but I am loving every minute of it. Here are some things I've made since the beginning of September...

A fall wreath using silk leaves

"Kelly" blocks for the top of our entertainment center

A Halloween wreath made from lima beans and then spray painted orange.

Toilet paper roll pumpkins! Seriously, a roll of toilet paper and some tissue paper. Can you guess which face Darrell made? Yes, the middle one. He was frustrated with this project and then decided he is not a fan of making crafts.

 Candy corn cookies for our Sunday School class. I love baking things, but don't do it very often since it's just Darrell and I and I have low self-control when treats are in the apartment.

 Carved pumpkins!

 It stands for "Kim" or "Kelly" depending on who you ask :)

Photo quality is not that great, but I just layered peas, kidney beans, and popcorn kernels and put a candle on top. I promise it looks better in real life :)

 I just started working on some Christmas crafts tonight because I am so excited. I'm sure I'll post more pictures when all of those are done! Darrell now probably knows his way around Michael's more than he would like to admit, but he's a good sport and usually comes with me (maybe it's to make sure I don't go too crazy...)
