Creation of a tattered garland...

I saw a garland on facebook that someone had made and it gave me the motivation that I have been needing
to make one. I have been wanting to do it for a few months, but just never sat down and started before this,
so start I did and am I ever glad!

I am loving the way it turned out!

The sky is the limit on these fun beauties! Any color, any fabric, trim etc.

long...short...old...new...

A work in progress in my dining room

How fun would these be hanging outside in the summer

just because...
OR ...for a garden party, in a potting shed, on a porch ...anywhere really!! :)

I do believe I will be making more.
I want to make a soft pastel one soon and I can't wait to see how it
turns out.

A few of them just might land in my Etsy shop as well so be on the lookout
if you are interested.

Happy Sunday!

Antique Lace

I learn something new every day. I had never thought about scanning lace until Dawn over at The Feathered Nest showed a picture of old lace she had scanned. So I tried it today. I am not an expert by far, but I had fun trying. It seems to showcase the lace better than just taking a picture with the camera. I purchased all this lace yesterday in Defiance, Ohio at a place that is going out of business. I was thrilled to find it. Enjoy and Happy Wednesday!
