farewell, stay at home wifedom

I got a job. My four week stint as a stay-at-home wife is officially over. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't really sad. I had plenty of good play dates with my mom filled with craft shopping and lunches, went swimming in the middle of the day, and watched Oprah every day of my life. Don't even act like you don't like Oprah. You know you do.

To celebrate my last day of stay-at-home wifery, my good ol' craft pal, Laura, came over and helped me whip up some wacky jewelry.

We made these delightful peacock treasures with some of the bilions of feathers left over from my wedding. I already had peacock earrings, but one of them got lost, so I had to make new ones. We also found this peacock charm at Michaels, and I felt that my neck really needed a peacock necklace, so we made one.

Also, remember how everyone thought I was crazy when I wanted a peacock wedding, and now they're suddenly exploding and everyone is having one? I do. Silly. It was once blasphemy to put peacock feathers in your hair on your wedding day or make Mitch wear one on his tux, huh mom? Oh, Utah.

We also found these little fish charm delights at Michaels, and Laura was cool enough to make them into earrings for me. PS, did you know that Laura is a craft goddess? Well, she is, and someday she'll rule the Etsy world with her crafty splendor. Laura really just ushers our craft nights into a whole new echelon.

Don't make fun of my iPhone's struggles to take a quality picture.

Lastly, I bought these beauties in my shopping spree for my new job. They were $3. I luff them.

Obsessed with peacocks much? Maybe.

And why am I showing you these earrings like you care? That's probably a good question. But the real question is why can't I just stay home all the time? Oh, that's right. I don't have babies. Dangit. Maybe in another 10 years.

Much love, stay-at-home wifedom. I'll sure miss your dinners and clean apartment. It's been real.
