Hmmmmmm....


I think I am hard on sewing machines. Every time i am getting ready for a sale, my machine ends up in the shop, and i am finally catching on. The problems are not with the machines, they are with me and the way i sew! I have to drop off a bunch of items for a big sale in two weeks, and my machine is in the shop for, yep, you guessed it, two weeks. So all my piles of spring fabrics are staring at me, and all my new ideas are still floating around in my mind.

Since i don't have a machine, and my booth is already paid for, I decided i should try and come up with something else to make for the upcoming sale that does not involve sewing. I saw this lovely mobile here, and that was exactly the inspiration i needed. I have always loved the look of hanging decorations from the ceiling. Lamps, canopies, guaze, mobiles, windchimes, stars, have all graced my ceilings at one time or another. So i made my first mobile last night, using the hanger idea, and tonight i am going to try a couple other ideas. We will see how it works out! They are so much fun to make!

You should dream up some cool house plant hangers instead of the aweful crochet ones....
