Baking and making

Baking and making are without a doubt two of my most favourite things! It might be because I love to eat and baking supplies me with a steady stream of treats to satisfy my sugar cravings! I also like pretty things and making stuff allows me to fill my home with pretty things to look at.  I also get a sense of satisfaction when I have finished either a baking or making project. I'm pretty sure this is because there is nothing I really excel at in life, my talents are neither in your face or hidden they just don't exist! So when I have created something by myself I do feel a tiny little bit of pride.

This week I got myself into a creating mood! With Christmas fast approaching (It's scary I know) I decided to attempt a ribbon wreath!! I couldn't find a tutorial for the one I wanted to make but being a resourceful mormon girl (and also a girl who is really bad at following instruction and recipes and tends to just make them up as she goes along anyway) I set about making it the way I thought it should be done. 

After raiding my craft supplies and finding the huge amounts of pretty ribbons I have stashed over the years (almost like a secret hoarder) I set about making it!! It only took me about an hour and a half and it was done and even I have to say it looked pretty good!!!!! 

I think by the time Christmas rolls around Santa might struggle to get down my chimney due to the amount of wreaths that will no doubt be surrounding my house!!
