I love crafts, I love DIY projects.  The trouble is finishing them.  I kinda suck at that.  BUT, here's a project that I actually finished, and mostly in one day!
I had seen 
this really awesome fabric wreath on Fresh Home and thought that it would be a fun project to work on while watching TV.  So, I bought the very last metal wreath frame at Michael's and then a couple of weeks late managed to get to our local Wal-Mart which has a fabric section to pick out fabric.  I wanted white fabric with some silver thrown in.  Of course, THAT didn't exist.  So, I picked out white fabric with some red and green fabric to blend in here and there AND got some fabric to make curtains.  I was on a fabric-craft-making roll.  I stood at the fabric cutting counter for 15 minutes, couldn't get anyone to help me, determined it was fate and went home, fabric-less.  Ho hum. 
On an unrelated note, I got my hair cut (too short!) at Hair Cuttery last weekend and decided I needed to do something with this wreath frame that was just sitting around the house.  I mean, it was the LAST one at Michael's, so I can't really gloat about it unless I use it for something.  If it just sits around my house, I'm just the bitch who took the last one for no reason.  I don't want to be that bitch.  So, I stopped by the party store and picked up a cheap garland, and when me and my shorn head got home, I went to work:
