Life is Tweet

Tweet WreathHere a wreath I made for my friend that just celebrated her 1 year on Twitter. It was kind of a silly thing we ended up doing for each other, cause we noticed that our one year “twitterversary” was approaching. She made me a cute card with a bird on it from scrapbooking supplies, cause she is into scrapping, and so when her’s came up, I took one of the wreaths I had made from the grapevines growing on my back fence, and decorated it up.

She really liked it alot, and has it hanging in her kitchen. Which kind of shocked me, casue I just threw it together, being the ADDcrafter I am. The bird is felt, and the blanket stitch is the fastest sticth there is. The vine is twisted  sticks, and the bows are ripped fabric, cause I couldn’t find my sissors  :)

Not that I’m underminding it, cause I’m actually proud of how it turned out myself too. But I really do love that the rustic country feel for things suits my ADD traits so much…it makes me wonder how many people really had ADD way back then when these things were first done, and are now considered a “style”.. call it rustic/country/shabby chic/redneck/or ADDStyle..it’s me.

I heard it through the grapevine

Grapevine wreaths

We are clearing off the back fence of grapevines that are causing the fence to actually be pulled down. So Instead of burning them all, I decided to make wreaths and baskets of them. IT’s a great ADDCraft because you don’t need to worry about attention to detail. the more messy and half thrown together they look the better they are :) I hope to post a basket picture soon, but right now the wreaths are only getting a small amount of my attention. I have been falling behind and I need to break ground on the garden before the strawberry plants die! The basket in the workshop, almost finished. I’m thinking I’m going to tag them and put them at the end of the driveway with a sale sign and see what happens. People are starting to go on those slow  Sunday drives in the county now that it is Spring.
