Burlap

 

Hi world! How have you been?

 

Are you enjoying the slow, restful days of winter? Drinking your tea? Taking naps? Sitting by the fire with a book? Taking baths by candle light?

I need to remind myself to do these things. Our souls need them, our minds ache for them.

 

In a perfect world.

 

But at least promise to sip some tea and try to squeeze in a nap.

 

And by golly people, get crafty!

 

In the last post about my table redo, you may have noticed the burlap runner. Yes, I LOVE burlap! I am on the burlap band wagon. I hope it stays forever.

 

I had a large burlap bag hanging out waiting for a plan. So I turned it into the table runner. Easy peasy! A few snips and a little fraying and WALA!

 

Well I am not one to like waste... soooooo I took the scraps and cut them into triangles. I painted my letters on with acrylic paint and found some red ribbon. I glued the burlap triangles on the ribbon with E6000. If you have not tried E6000, go get some right now! Not later, NOW. Seriously it is good stuff. I use it for all kinds of crafty stuff! It worked as a life saver to put back together a broken ceramic ornament at Christmas too. Good stuff.

 

How have you been enjoying the winter?
