HOLY COW...IT WORKED!?!

It's been a good day...well all except for 15 to 20 min where I found a HUGE spider in my Foyer and managed to throw my flip flop just right in order to kill the stupid thing...but the thing was prego I guess because suddenly there were tiny little spiders crawling everywhere.  I was hyperventilating....major freak out!!! Oh in case you didn't know I HATE SPIDERS!!!, they scare the crap out of me!!! I cringe when I see them it does not matter the size they are all horrifying.  I managed to find the bug killer and spray the heck out of my threshold leaving it for Rob to clean up when he got home.  I was good to kill the spiders huge and tiny...no way in heck was I going to touch them there wasn't enough paper towels or toilet paper in the world to put enough thickness between my fingers and those nasty things!!!!

So that was the bad part of my day...lets move on to the better part of it shall we :)

So guess what...I CRAFTED!...if you are a close friend of mine and reading this at the moment I am sure that you are sitting back and in some way thinking of a phrase that might be something in the realms of "Excuse Me !?!"  I am NOT a crafter...far from it.  In fact for the majority of my life I loathed crafting...referring to is as "Crafty Crap" and I have very little of it in my home, what I do have; I have for the kiddos.  I felt the need to buy something to decorate the house with when the seasons changed or the holidays came.  But this is only because McKenzie would ask why we didn't decorate like her friends moms did?? I did decorate for Christmas of course, just not the other holidays or seasons. 

Also whenever I think of crafting I always think of those cute little old ladies that do all the cross stitching, and the dolls that you buy to sit on your beds with the crocheted dresses, and doilies...oh the list goes on you've been to those craft fairs...you know what I am talking about.

But I learned through a friend of a friend that crafting can be modern as well and we can all put our own little spin on it so as long as it includes fabric...because that IS my obsession...then I will give it a go.  I am trying new things after all.  Oh and this friend that I am speaking of her name is Stacy Davault and I HEART her SO MUCH!!! She doesn't have a blog but here is a link to her FB page check it out sometime, she had pics up of some of the things that she makes and sells.  She really just has the best stuff and always working on new things.

So I was sitting there this morning pondering what I was going to do today...there are a couple of projects that I want to try but I have this issue...Decisions....when there are a lot of choices I get flustered and I have a hard time singling one out.  So I pushed those aside I thought of something new and I was actually shocked that I liked the turn out. 

I used modge podge to put the fabric on the letters, distressed them and then added some rhinestones for a little glitz...GLITZ is a MUST!!! at least that is how McKenzie and I feel :).
The "M" is for McKenzie and I am gifting the "A".
