A couple of years ago I made the move from Blogger to WordPress, and for the most part have been quite happy with the (much!) easier platform.
Lately, though, I’ve been feeling too limited with the free version of WordPress so for the last few days I’ve been switching my site over to the self-hosted WordPress.
It’s been QUITE a learning experience, and I’m sure I’ll be making more changes as I go, but for now I think it’s up and running somewhat normally.
I think I was able to switch all my e-mail followers, although I’m not 100% positive about even that, but I have no idea how to switch those of you who follow via WordPress. Please come check out the new website and follow if you want to continue to receive updates in your feed.

I’m so excited! Please email or comment with any problems you have viewing/subscribing/etc. I would really appreciate the feedback.
Somewhere In The Middle 
Hello Rebekah,
My name is Brenda, I’m 64, in july 65. OMG, can’t believe that yr is almost here.. I’ve never been creative, in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.. I can think of pretty things, but never been able to take it from my head, to my hands..
Our youngest son’s step-daughter just had a baby girl.. I’ve been to the hobby stores and have ALL of their free idea’s, since their free, I take one from every alsile every time I go, which is often.. I get lost in just looking at everything and wish I could make them.. But, no matter how hard I’ve tried, I just can’t get my fingers to do the job.
Anyway, I want to make the baby a butterfly mobile.. I bought wrapping paper a few yrs ago, to wrap a gift for one of my friends that I’ve known since we were 12 yrs old.. So naturally, I was sure I could do that with the leftover paper.. Today while feeding the birds, I started picking up twigs, thinking I could use the thicker one’s to make the butterflies hang from it, using fishing line, or that elastic line.. and cutting out the butterflies and with a needle, poking small holes and thread it thru the cut out’s.. I got stumped at just looking at everything piled in a mess on the floor..
I do know I would have to glue the thin wrapping paper to a thicker paper, and fold the upper one in the middle, to make it look like they were flying..
I feel so dumb, I can’t seem to make it look nice enough, even for a baby.
I typed in DIY Butterfly, and Moble’s came up.. I actually saw butterflies on a branch.. But I removed the branches from the longest, and now am stuck with,twigs.
Just seeing all the ideas you have posted, I feel like maybe I can do this.. But I think the round one would do best for me,since I have so much ribbon and the circles.
I just wanted to leave this msg saying, THANK YOU, SO MUCH! I can do this.. Now when I need a step-by-step, kinda like a paint by the number, way to do this mobile..
Thanks again, and if I’m able to make it a fraction of your’s, I will be PROUD of myself.
Sincerely, Brenda aka Elvisgal. I love him too.. actually, he was my first love, when I was 3yrs old, before he became famous..
Thank you for your sweet comment, Brenda! I hope your mobile turns out just how you imagined :)
The toilet paper roll wreath is great. What keeps it from sagging when it is hung?
