Look what I made!

Guess what? I made another pinterest creation! I'm kind of proud of this. It was hard, but I'm sure anyone with five minutes more of sewing skills could do this skirt in half the time. But hey it sure is cute right?
Sorry my blogging has been sparse. Life is so busy! Between work and trying to get ready for this 10K in September it's been a little crazy!

Craft.

I may or may not have ordered a bunch of fabric in order to make a cute chevron skirt...and some throw pillows.
Pictures to follow.
I'm crafting away.

Pinterest Adventures

So I found a wreath...and for once in my life I decided to actually make something that I pinned. Just a disclaimer...if I can make this craft...you can too. It is not really all that hard just time consuming.
Step 1: Purchase a wreath ring (what is the technical term for this? No idea.)
A yard of felt in the color of your choice.
Glue
Pins
Buttons of some sort
Felt squares to make the flowers (Hobby Lobby has these for like $.25 each since you don't want to buy like an entire yard for this.)
Pins
Step 2: Spend a million years cutting circles out of felt. (Don't worry, they needn't be perfect. Mine definitely were not perfect.)

Step 3: Fold the circles in half and then in half again...making a little pie piece looking shape. Put the pin the the very corner of the fold and put it in the wreath. I just covered the front and sides so that the wreath would lay flat. Repeat over and over and over until it is done.

Step 4: Make your flowers. I basically cut circles the same size as the ruffles in the wreath for the big flower and then I traced my glue bottle for the smaller flowers. Having good glue is important in assembling the flowers. If you don't...then they are very hard. I swear by Fabri-tac. It rocked.

Step 5: Attach flowers with pins. I thought this was easier than doing it with glue...and less permanent since I'm not that crafty and was worried about screwing it up.
Then you're done! Hooray!

Kitchen Adventures

For Valentine's Day Mark bought us a sushi making kit. Anyone who knows me knows I have this major obsession with Happy Sumo...it's a little unhealthy. Anyways, we don't really have a Happy Sumo in Logan, so naturally Mark and I decided to make our own.
Since it was our first time at this we decided to play it safe and not actually do raw fish on our own (besides Mark doesn't really like it). So we got crab instead. This worked out really well since we made their crispy crab wontons as well.

 Oh and yes I did make chocolates. They were divine.
