Jarak

Pernahkah kau rasakan jarak dan jurang yang semakin lama semakin dalam? Pernahkah kau sadari itu, sayang?

Aku menunggu, menunggu kepulanganmu, selalu.

Namun entah bagaimana jalan pikiranmu, aku tidak tahu.

Yang aku tahu, aku sendiri, tanpa kamu, tanpa cintamu.

Aku selalu ada. Untukmu.

Jalan Kita

Aku tiba disebuah titik. Di sebuah titik klimaks yang tak akan aku lanjutkan di paragraf selanjutnya, meski ingin. 

Aku hanya akan memulai dengan secarik kertas baru dengan judul yang baru, tidak dengan apa-apa, tidak dengan siapa-siapa. 

Bagiku sudah cukup. Sudah cukup aku mengerti semuanya. Mengerti keadaanku, keadaanmu, keadaan kita. Meskipun kau tidak sependapat dengan ini, aku terima dengan segala ucap urai yang akan kau katakan kelak.

Aku selalu menyanyangimu, mencintaimu, meskipun kau meragukan itu. Mungkin semua itu tidak cukup bagimu, dengan segala keegoisanku dan ketidak mengertianku, aku sadari itu.

If I only had 10 houses....

I find that I love so many different styles, it's hard to stick to just one. If I had a bunch of homes, I would decorate them each in a special way. Tell me I'm not the only one with this problem of style commitment....

Oh and the holiday music has arrived on my blog. I had a couple readers ask about my playlist and it's up! Love this time of year.

P.S. ~ I have linked all the websites on which I found these pictures. If one of these belongs to you and you would prefer it removed, please email me.

Doily Wreath

Martha Stewart (of course, who else?) has a beautiful doily wreath on her site using lights and paper bouquet holders. Of course the papers are a specialty, hard to find item that you have to order online because you can't just walk into Hobby Lobby and buy them. Darn that Martha and all her resources. They are called Biedermeiermanschetten and you can buy them on this site if you are set on the original version.

If you are cheap and impatient like me, you can run to your nearest craft store and pick these up:

I used a Styrofoam wreath form that I had cut in half for another project. It would be a ton easier if you just used a flat form.

All you need to do is take your doily and fold it in half......

Then keep folding until it's about this size (excuse my lighting issues, I was doing this at night).....

Glue them all to your wreath form with hot glue, start with the larger doilies and then use the smaller ones to layer and give it some "poof."

Glue a loop of ribbon to the back for hanging and bam, you are done! A super easy project and best of all, you don't have to worry about it catching on fire. That seemed to be a common concern about Martha's wreath.

I've been busy, busy here getting ready for the house tour. I'm excited about it but starting to freak out a bit as it gets closer. Part of that is probably because we started some painting projects that have to get done. Yikes! It's all coming together though. We have Ella's room all painted and put back in order. More on that another day......
