Martha - Oh how we love to hate you!

Martha, Martha, Martha.....Stewart that is.

We hate her.  But we love her.  We love to hate her.

She makes us feel completely inadequate because we can't all be perfectionist like her.

SUDDEN INTERRUPTION - Have you ever seen her daughters show?  The one where she watches her mom's shows and tears her apart?  It is HILARIOUS!

Anywho...where was I?

Oh, yes.  I don't strive to be like Martha...but if it happened naturally, I wouldn't turn talent like that down. :)

I mean....how can you deny talent of a woman who made a lamp out of a gourd....and even made it LOOK GOOD!

Although, Martha, I think I could have lived without the twigs coming out of the top. :\

But, the pinecone finial...now THAT Martha, that is ingenious!

Actually Martha, even you surprised me by all your pinecone goodness! 

I mean....FLOWERS OUT OF PINECONES!?  I'm TOTALLY in love!!

And then you go and do stuff like this, Martha,and make me feel, once again, completely inadequate.

I mean, Martha!  Gourd Bowls?  Hand made gourd bowls?  Martha...we don't do this in the real world!  And yet....I really want to try!

And ok, pumpkins.  I can totally rock the pumpkin flower planter!

And might even be able to handle the GORGEOUS pumpkin chandelier.

But Martha.....then you go and create....pumpkin sconces!?  For real?  

Wreaths.  Now those are something even I can do.

Like vintage paper wreaths.

Or cornhusk wreaths.

I can definitely handle the fall foliage leaf.

Actually...scratch that!  Those leaves are placed WAY to perfectly!  Nope...can't do the fall foliage wreath.

But cornhusk covered votives!!  I CAN do that!

And an acorn mirror is right up my alley.

But then, Martha.  You go and do this!!!

Cornhusk flowers!  That look almost real!!  I mean, come on Martha!  WHO can do that?

And Martha, sometimes...not always....but I mean, just every once in awhile....you lose touch with all reality.  Like this...

Martha.  My dear, dear, Martha.  While I appreciate the simplicity of these mini cornucopia favors.  I mean, so simple, yes, even I could do this. 

Hon....really?  As FAVORS?  Decor...maybe.  But....favors?

I'm not sure how I would react to a little 'thing' of NUTS as a gift! 

Not peanuts, Martha.  We're talking....Large honkin', I need special tools, I'm not even sure what to do with them....NUTS!

Martha.....NOBODY wants a tiny little sack of HUGE nuts!  Sorry!

And it's about that time, Martha, that I realize........you have issues even MEDS can't help!!

So, if it's ok with you Martha, I think I'll just stay me in my imperfect world. :)

Until next time....
