Burlap Wreath

I saw a similar wreath on Shell's Shabby Shack blog before Christmas. I didn't have as much jute upholstery strapping as I needed, but I bought burlap to wrap the Styrofoam wreath. Then I made these little felt rosettes and a bow. It's not quite as cute as Shell's, but it's fine. I'm using it either in the living room or the front door. I just haven't decided where yet.

I must get furnace filters today and try to keep from eating. I've gained soooo much weight since Christmas. I decided not to get on the scale every day--BIG mistake. HUGE!! I can make myself believe I'm not fat until I do step on the scale. Yowzah!


So stay busy and keep from eating....Heaven help that I'd get out and exercise.

Yes, Colleen, you're right. There is no correlation between furnace filters and losing weight. That's just how my mind works--squirrel!

I love the wreath! Might have to make one myself.
Weight........ugh.
I made homemade mac and cheese over the weekend for a family gathering and have eaten nothing else since. If I were taking ALLI right now, I would be sitting in a puddle of poo:(
Nice image huh?
