Changing Careers 2

-
It has been almost a year now since I retired from full-time Line-Cooking. I have had the time to get out those books with projects I have always wanted to make.
I have been learning the Art of Macrame again!
I dabled with plant hangers and Owls and such years ago when my Mom encouraged me to try. Now I am finding that Macrame is coming back as an Art with the Jewelry Making Artists! Belts/Braclets/Earrings/Keychains and etc. all done in MINITATURE MACRAME KNOTS!
Well I like to make the BIG stuff and maybe later I will get brave to try more of the Macrame Jewelry!
Here is my latest project and more photos to come.
Thanks for visiting! Cindy from CRAFT FLAIRE!

She wasn't too proud of me, but after all, I did get the shelves built, so she forgave me for my little mistake.. Besides, half a John is quite a conversation piece!...... The following Christmas she decided that I might be able to build some plywood sleighs for fru
