I have been working for days on this chimney.
(and my sore throat is back with a vengeance!)
The front is finished and so am I!
It was so labor intensive-I needed a spa; if only....
I put out my tall front door trees....the wreath is also hung there now.
My Christmas cacti are all in bloom-a wonderful addition to my decor!
I am really paring back on the decorations this year!
Not for reasons of being a Grinch but because of the work!
Now these are my latest creations with rope-real cotton rope this time!
(They are both about 10" across and 6' and 8" tall)
After being inspired by Pintrest, I tried a few fancy 'holes' in my side walls.
I also experimented with securing the end of the rope when finishing.
This basket has grey in the top and bobbin thread for a shadowy grey tint to the basket.
I used only white in this one but played around with the holes.
I used only 50' for each basket.
I was thinking they would work for yarn bowls also-and big enough for a few yarn cakes,
needles and pattern! I much prefer this kind of 'work' any day!!!
