My First "At Home" Craft

Well today is my first day as a "housewife" or work at home mother (although the baby is still cooking). I've successfully managed to wake up early; re-organize the kitchen pantry; plan our meals this week; make a shopping list; grocery shop (and spend less than usual!); get soaked in the rain; and then come home and put away all of those pesky, soaking wet groceries.

I am also in the process of finishing up housework and I've got a nifty meal planned for tonight. Fingers crossed that it comes out good! In addition to all of this so far, I've also managed to craft up my first wreath. I wanted something very simple that could stay out for all seasons until I get bored and want something else, so I crafted up something in about 15 minutes and for under $13.00. It's nothing fancy and it's not even a large wreath, but honestly it works well with our front door (no matter how many mental conversations I had with myself at the store about its tiny size).

I LOVE burlap and I love peacock feathers so while rummaging down the little ole craft aisle at Wal-Mart (because I didn't want to drive to the craft store in the rain) I came up with this. Who knows, maybe I'm the only one that thinks it is cute. But hopefully you do too!
