The craft gods have spoken!
Did I just start a Christmas craft in August or have I been working on it for months and months Last Christmas I found some fabric with "The 12 days of Christmas" There are squares and in each square the day is depicted with the words such as "Five Golden Rings" Nobody in my family can remember the words to "The 12 days of Christmas" so I planned on doing this cute wall hanging with each day in order. I tried ribbon and glue and sewing, it was all EPIC CRAFT FAIL! So I gave up on all Christmas crafts forever and put it in a box.
Mom is a wicked good crafter and so I spend lots of time in fabric shops and I noticed the Christmas fabric was out again. I got out some of the 12 days craft fail and Thursday I bought fabric that will coordinate with the geese laying and lords leaping. So far the project is growing out of control in my mind like a craft virus! Now I want pretty letters that say "My True Love Gave to Me" at the top and all sorts of sparkly glitter wonder. I have lost my damn mind! How much you want to bet it ends up in the box of EPIC CRAFT FAIL again?
And to make matters worse I ran into my greatest weekness: Halloween stuff! Why do craft stores have $1 rubber stamps? I bought like six of them! And cards and all sorts of stuff. I wanted to buy all of it because it was the $1 DEAL BIN. Thank god I don't go in Dollar Stores. I know it is in my genetic code to buy crap there.
Speaking of, my dad took me to a big scary doctor appointment a few weeks back (I got an all clear on my poly cystic ovaries - nothing bad happening inside me - joy!). Even though I was high on percocet and xanax my dad took me to two different Goodwills. I am sure he would have gone in more if we would have seen them. There was this fancy guitar he kept looking at and I told him he should buy it, but that he needed to remember I was high. He looked at me and said 'So I shouldn't be listening to you?" Poor dad, I couldn't enable! But he bought me a cat carrier and an old office stamp. But I did enable the weirdest purchase - he bought a tie, a bolo tie - those pieces of leather with usually a clasp of a rattle snake or something western but NO this clasp was shaped like a regular tie made out of strips of "exotic" wood! It is the craziest tie I have ever seen and MUST get a picture of him wearing it.
I know this all sounds very tacky, but we are funny tacky so it is okay!
