Craft time

I got all crafty the past 2 weekends and created 2 wreaths.  Both are yarn wreaths.  They turned out so well that I'm going to  make some as Christmas gifts this year.  I started on a book wreath but it is going to take a bit longer.

Decided to cover my dinning room chairs.  Love the new fabric

Sacramento

Just a quick update because I didn't post last weekend.
Art work in the new Sacramento airport
Went to Sacramento for book group last Friday.  Love those ladies!  We read The Picture of Dorian Gray.  Really good.  I had heard the story all of my life but never read the book.  Different then I expected.  Oscar Wilde did not think highly of women that's for sure.   I bought the annotated version which was cool because it gave you all of this insight into his life.   It was a fun night as usual.
On Saturday I went with the Hastings to the Crocker museum for an exhibit on robots and other oddities.  It was a full day- Museum, Ann Tracy art show, John's work, Hair appointment.
Flew back home on Sunday.  On Monday we had a bake sale at work so I baked cookies on Sunday to donate.  Homemade oreos.  Easy recipe and they taste super similar to real oreo's.  The same texture and dark chocolate taste. 
Pumpkin Whoopie pies that I made the previous week.
This weekend.... it's craft time.   I'm making wreaths.  I'll post photo's on the next update.
