~Good morning! B’s coming home today! He’s been in Germany (in a city outside Nuremberg) since the beginning of the month, so we are all super excited to see him. Germany is his favorite work travel destination, but a month is a long time for sure!
~I finished up my tufted wool wreath this week. All totaled it cost me about $23 to make. And that includes $6 for a pom-pom maker, which you don’t have to get if you don’t want to. Anthropologie sold their version of this for $128, and they go for about $75 on Etsy, so it was a big savings to make it myself. And I love how it turned out. Making the pom-poms was tedious (tip: use a super sharp pair of scissors), but easy. I used a 14″ wreath and two full skeins of yarn. I originally planned to use an 18″ wreath but got tired of making the pom-poms, so I switched to the smaller one. The yarn makes the wreath larger than the 14″, so I am glad I didn’t go any bigger.
~I still have a handful of subscription boxes coming this week including Five Four Club, The Boodle Box, Birchbox Man, Hammock Pack, Julep, Dollar Bead Box and one or two more. I am thinking we should be getting inspiration for the February POPSUGAR Box soon, and I am *hoping* we hear about a new Target Beauty Box soon too, but we’ll see!
~You guys, I may have shed a tear watching Teen Mom the other night. I thought it was so sweet when Teresa came in to talk to Catelynn before her wedding. Farrah, on the other hand, was all kinds of crazy this week. Oh man. I wish I could fast forward through her scenes. I couldn’t help but laugh when Amber and her man (I don’t even know his name) were talking to the real estate lady about buying that house to flip, and she asked them what they did for a living. “I’m on Teen Mom OG. And he’s my fiancé.” Too funny.
~This is super random, but what kind of animal do you think this is? W won him in the crane game the other day, and we have no clue what it is. He thinks it’s a teddy bear. L thinks it’s a mouse. Other ideas are a cat, a fox, a raccoon or a hedgehog.
That’s it from here! I hope you have a great day!
I did for sure shed a tear when Theresa came in to talk to Catelynn- it was such a sweet moment and you can tell that they have a special bond! I may have cried also when Tyler read his vows and how much emotion he had when he saw her walking down the aisle.. (it could be because I am getting married in June and was working on writing the ceremony and watching), but it was just so sweet! And when Carly wanted to dance with Tyler, that was a sweet moment as well! Farrah on the other hand is straight up crazy! I wish I could fast forward through her scenes as well, but it is like I have to watch!!
ps i vote cat!
Cat? . Love the wreath
I love you wreath!
I also think it’s a cat…
I vote Cat as well! I love your wreath! I just ordered a Pom Pom maker I hope it isent too hard cuz I’m not very crafty! I did make my first wreath last week and it was easier then I thought. They are so expensive to buy in store or on etsy!
They are SO expensive. I will admit that sometimes my crafts end up costing me more to make than they would have cost to buy, but luckily that was not the case here.
I was all sappy during Tyler’s vow speech and when Carly was holding onto Tyler when they were dancing ? Sooo sweet!!!
Looks like a cat to me.
Abd, wow, your wreath is so much prettier than the Anthro inspiration piece.
I’m adding my vote for fox!
Was the pompom maker easy to use? I got the brilliant idea to make a pom pom banner for my daughters birthday party, and after the first two pompoms I was ready to scratch my eyes out.. I think I need to invest the $6 now!
It gets annoying to cut the yarn after a while, but if you have some really sharp scissors it would be easier. I liked using it better than making pompoms without it!!
not a beaver, doesn’t matter.
bahahahaha.
LOL!!!!
I feel so sorry for Farrah’s mom! Farrah treats her really bad. I honestly think Farrah is crazy! She can be so evil to her mom and it’s as if she doesn’t even notice!! Is it weird that I’m secretly hoping to run into Farrah’s mom someday? In the show her mom was living in Seattle and I live near Seattle lol.. and Catelynn and Tyler’s wedding was wonderful! Those two have been through soo much but they are the only ones who remained together! I’m happy Brandon and Teresa were able to be there but I just wish I could see Carly’s face!!
Totally a cat – look at the pointy ears! Sometimes animals can be hard though. My daughter had a Chesire Cat tsum tsum and we thought it was Piglet for a week!
Loved the wedding and shed quite a few tears…. the vows were so sweet, the dance with both their daughters, precious… I did have one cringe moment..when Butch walked up to Carly…I was yelling “don’t do it Butch!”… I know he didn’t want to feel left out…and I’m happy that he is finally doing better but he should have honored the fact that Theresa wasn’t ready for him to meet Carly… I’m glad that it didn’t cause them to leave the wedding right then and there… that would not have been fair to Catelyn and Tyler…I wonder if it will be addressed in next weeks episode? Why is Farrah still on this show? I have my hand on the fast forward every week but yet still watch her scenes..usually with my mouth hanging open because I can’t believe half the crap that comes out of hers… lol Happy to see on Instagram that Taylor and Maci got engaged… I bet he did after they finished filming for this season! lol
OMG I know. It was so bad. I mean she’s what, like 7? She really doesn’t care to talk to strangers!
I would like to know why she is on this show still too! I was so happy she was normal with Derrick’s parents last week and wasn’t yelling or speaking in her baby voice, but she was right back with the crazy this week!
