Hi Bloggerettes! Lately I've been wanting to make and create pretty things, yet simple things. Ya know what I mean????
Peggie started making pretty garlands out of fabric and laces and I just love how they look. I decided to be a copy cat and make some too. Hers are much prettier and she sells everyone she makes.
The first one I made was all pink and girlie. It looked so pretty in my booth that I put a big price on it hoping it wouldn't sell. (I know, I know....it's a dealer thing!) The funny thing is that it sold the very next day.
So easy to make. Just take some cording or heavy string and start tying on strips of fabric, ribbon, laces....whatever you hearts desire.
Perfect for a little Princess room or a big Princess Room....
Okay, that's it for today. Get out there this week and make, bake, sew, photograph, create, draw, paint, crochet, write, sew, repurpose or find something wonderful and share it will all of us.
~~hugs~~

There is something theraputic about making these....
I used lots of vintage laces on this one.

You HAVE to quit showing me that cat! You know I just envy you everytime you put his face out there! LOVE your streamers (or garlands or whatever you call them). They are so soft and feminine and beautiful-AND I LOVE that picture of the cups! xo Diana
Gorgeous.
Have a nice, new week

Love the pretty colors of the garland Sissie! And it's always nice to see a pic of Gabby! Happy Halloween:@)

I love those Sissie! I was thinking about something different I could use on my tree as garland and this really fits the bill! So feminine and pretty! Now I have to see what I have that I can cut up and tie on!~Hugs, Patti

It may be simple, but it's very pretty, Sissie! I love the way they look against your teacup print.
p.s. LOVE your header:)
the color of gray, sparkling crystals, lovely linen pillows ~ a most beautiful "reflection"!
So Sweet Sissie! Those colors would look beautiful in a little girls room! Martina
I love those, Sissie! The colours are gorgeous.
So funny you posted this because I saw a burlap and lace one you posted the other day and was going to e-mail you about what to use for the long piece. Thanks for sharing! I love these--not sure what the appeal is, I guess the texture for one thing. I want to make one soon!
Love it, Sissie. So funny that it sold when you really didn't want it to. Glad you got the extra little chunk of money for it though.
Have a great upcoming week!
So sweet and feminine! I can imagine it's theraputic, too. Cute and theraputic. Can't beat that with a stick! You ROCK Sissie.
Oh those garlands are gorgeous Sissie. And I love your new header, another beauty.
Have a great week and
Happy Halloween

Looks oh so pretty, Sissie, and sounds like a great easy project as well.
I love your pretty garland and I can see why they sell so fast. I want one and it's on my list of "Things TO Do". Thanks for the inspiration.
Enjoy your day Sissie,

I love this idea Sissy. I'm so gonna make one, it does sound easy and therapeutic. I think as i tie each knot, i will give up a problem and a wish with it ... right to universe...

Hey SissieGal...my goodness but time flies when your havin' fun bloggin' and livin' life. I've been doing lots of both without much time for visiting, so I'm just droppin' in to say Howdy, and invite you to stop by CollectInTexas Gal.
As times change for all of us, our Blogs seem to reflect those changes in our interests, and CITexas Gal has changed a bit with the addition of Tracks of My Texas Ancestors. Yep, I've been bitten by the Genealogy Bloggin' Bug.
I'd love to share the Blogging Genealogy Community with you. I hope you will have a minute to stop by and see/read the 'May I Introduce You To' interview Feature on CollectInTexas Gal/Tracks of My Texas Ancestors by GeneaBlogger.

Oh Sissie, your garland just looks beautiful. I do hope you made yourself another one. They do look simple to make, I make have to give it a try.
Thanks for sharing
Sissie, you might like to make simple things but they always look far better than simple. I adore your taste for frilly, soft colors, and lacey things. I'm trying to achieve that look in my bedroom which seems I will never get finished.--------

Hi Sissie, awww those garlands are just darling, love them both! I may have to make a few for a niece that will be having a baby girl soon, it would look so cute in the nursery!
Hugz,
Kim
Beautiful and simple is my best friend!!!
