Mother's Memoirs, Reflections on Another Year of Blogging

Image
Since I started this blog I have been trying to narrow down what it is that makes this blog Special! So I re-read my posts over the last two years and found that  WHAT INSPIRES ME   Gives Blogging Material to share with  YOU! So I have added a category label to my blog,  "Country Gal's Heart Strings". What Inspires me!  What makes me Laugh! What pulls at my Heart Strings! From Stories about Family,  Home Comforts from Handmade and Re-Purposed  Home Decor,  to Pinterest,  you will see these kinds of posts here! I have added photos of all the New Happenings this last year!! Yes we have a new Grandson, Leyland!                                                    I got a Jack Demsey Fish this year!  We had a Reunion this year in Laughlin, Nevada,  with my husbands Daughter, Allyson and her husband, Homer from New York who we had not seen in over fifteen years!   Our son, Chris, was reunited with his son, Johnathon, after 18 years!  He was two in this photo.   Buddy, my husband

Macrame Door Curtain

Image
 I used a Vintage Pattern from the 1970's. It is a nicely firm square knot weave-look. The macrame cord is also vintage but in great condition. It is a black and white twist polyester cord. Photos show the WORK IN PROGRESS. I have already put in 40 hours of work and I will be putting in another 40 more hours to finish. This is a tight knotting pattern due to the cord is a smaller diameter. (3 mm) I will keep adding photos as I work along until the final photo! I have added my Wood Beaded Curtain Panels which our My Designs in Drapery Accents! These wood beads are also Vintage and in Excellent Shape! The top of door curtain features three woven in holes where you would hang your favorite collectibles; Bells, Beads, Feathers, etc.! ENJOY THE PHOTOS!  50 cords cut at 15 yards each , folded in half and looped over the top dowel with Lark Head Knots. Full view of door curtain in progress.  Bead Work done on sides. Close-up of top. The pattern is a tightly knotted with Square Knots. Circ
