Our Creativity!

My sister was married this weekend, and since she was the last of us and no one chose to wear our mother’s gown, I was given the go-ahead (by our dad) to make it into keepsake handkerchief and a small handbag. We gifted them to our mom as a surprise before the wedding, and she was thrilled! Each sister wrapped her handkerchief around her bouquet, so we’ve now all walked down the isle with her dress, which was really special to her.

What a beautiful idea. I am sure your mom was touched.
 
To pass some time while resting I've pulled my tatting out some.. thought I'd shareIMG_20190811_074259538.jpgIMG_20190808_150228796.jpg

Oh if only I could find time to do more of my crafts. I miss quilting and crocheting, but work, the farm and the grandbabies are keeping me busy.

I know your frustration! lol I just don't have the time generally either but special circumstances :) I like knitting too but tatting is my frilly veritably useless thing lol other than prettiness. I don't make doilies though because they just take WAY too long. I can crochet a doily way faster than tat one.

I am recovering well.. hard to keep me in bed honestly. This helps keep me in a lower state of energy.. lol
 
This is why I really like tatting.. the little motifs you can make. The maple leaf I found online. The flowers I free formed.

That's how I feel too. Not enough time with school, chores and little ones. I've been spending more time out in the yard and have made a flower garden and am really enjoying it though. I'm hoping next year we'll have a nice big garden and it will help bring some pollinators in. :)

Did you like using Etsy? Or just a useful tool? And how do you get through the noise and get noticed?
