Tis' the season to create

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

 Perfect for a little Princess room or a big Princess Room....
My little helper is plum tuckered out from helping her Mommie...

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.

    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!

    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.

    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.--------
