Well....to blog or not to blog.

So I have been playing around with this blog for, oh lets see, about a year now.  Trying to decide if this is something I can actually commit to doing, or WANT to do.  So I have finally decided that, YES, this is what I want, what I need, what I'm excited to be doing right now.

If you know me (hopefully most of you don't...) then you also know that I get excited about ALOT of stuff...
all the time...
for short periods of time...

I have what I like to call an eclectic soul... 
ec·lec·tic [ih-klek-tik] 
adj
1. (in art, philosophy, etc) selecting what seems best from various styles, doctrines, ideas, methods, etc
2. composed of elements drawn from a variety of sources, styles, etc
This wonderful word describes everything about me from my taste in music (Weezy to Weezer),  my reading material (currently working on R. Riordan's Mark of Athena), clothing choices (completely impossible to describe), and my most favorite thing...My Hobbies.  Why yes that does need to be capitalized like it is a proper noun.

Reading
Baking/Cake Decorating
Redoing my mom's rental house
Bowhunting (new one)
Sewing
Fixing Computers
Taking pictures
and....
learning to be Domesticated (way more on that later)
ooohhh
and Making Things.

Interested?  Want to see something cool I made this weekend?

Fall Burlap Wreath

Please excuse the horrible camera phone photo.
Please do not judge my picture taking hobby by this picture.

We (my sisters and I) had a fun little craft day (aka: Wine drinking and Smack talking day) and I somehow came out of that with a pretty decent little door decoration.  Not in love with the bow right now but that's a minor adjustment.

The overall shape of the wreath is what I'm really excited about, its a little different and has a nice texture to it.  It was super easy to make and I got every single piece from Walmart!  Except for those leaves, they came from the dollar store.  

I will take better pictures and post them later!

Thanks for reading my rambles.
