Getting my Craft on

I like to peruse Etsy from time to time, and someone made a wreath out of wine corks. I thought it was a fabulous idea, but the one I saw was pricey, so I have been saving our corks for months and months.

Finally, I estimated that we'd saved enough (in part thanks to DiStefano in Washington, who keeps a big jug of corks in their tasting room for crafty wine snoots like me).

I got all the corks sorted by hue, from light to dark on a big mat. An undertaking unto itself!

Then I bought a styrofoam wreath form at Michael's the other day when I had a 40% off coupon. Thrifty!

Then I got out the hot glue gun.

And I started to glue corks onto the wreath.

Ran through the first glue stick quickly. So, I put another stick of hot glue in the gun.

I glued some more.

And I continued to glue.

And glue. And glue.

And I've run out of glue.

So, not only do I need to go back to Michael's for more glue sticks...

I might run out of corks.

Which I guess is the long way of saying,

Is it too early for a glass of wine?
