Decorating With Macrame

This will be a short post tonight. I have not felt well today, actually for a couple of weeks now. I'm struggling to do this much.

I made a lot of macrame when I was in my 20's and have enjoyed it coming back. Here are a few pics I found on Pinterest that are really cool. You can scroll on down to find what I have available in my shop.

Below are the three pieces I have listed for sale. The light is really awesome. I am showing a picture of the one I made for my daughter, exactly like the one I have in my shop.
Enjoy!

Teapot...Steak Knives...Vintage Bunny...Macrame Hanger

It's just so weird how one minute I can feel pretty darn good and the next I can't stay on my feet. It's nothing like before I went into the hospital, though. At least now I have a decent day now and then. This past week was a bit annoying, one of things I deal with along with many, many others is fatigue. And I don't mean just tired, I mean the type that puts you horizontal for a while. I have conceded to it because I have learned that I cannot push through it. If I try, I just get sicker and it last longer. Yesterday was one of those days, I gave in and went to bed.

I no longer envy people who have things I want, like a certain house or lots of money. Walking through the grocery store the other day, it occurred to me how it felt like I was sleep walking, watching and envying people who looked like they felt normal.

Thank goodness I discovered meditation! It helps a lot. It helps me sleep a little better, waking up every 15 - 30 minutes all night long is no fun. Meditating does help.

Here's to hoping tomorrow is a wonderful, healthy day.

I made the cutest macrame hanging light this weekend. After seeing one on Pinterest I wanted to make one for myself and my daughters. It is so adorable I am going to offer them for sale in my Etsy shop. When I saw the photo of this my first thought was, this will work up fast. Wrong. So wrong. It took forever and a day; and my fingers and arms were so darn sore I could hardly pick up my coffee cup the next morning. I still have to get another finished before this weekend to take them to my daughters. Mine will have to wait, as always. :) 

Leave me a comment if you are interested in purchasing one. I can make it any length, the one below is twelve feet.

I'm also making some plant hangers to put on Etsy. But if you would like to purchase one directly from me, please leave a comment. 

Here is a couple that I this week.

I am going to try and sell enough stuff to buy myself a used car. I cannot do payments these days, not with all the meds I'm having buy. 

I want to try and get a used VW Bug. I think I can find one for less than $5,000.00 that would be decent and still running. I would be happy getting a vintage one, but they are running around 8-10 thousand for a decent one. And then there is the problem of keeping it running. David is not able to do the work on a car that might be needed for a used vintage car. 

So please send any good vibes my way regarding this matter.

Thanks. :) 

I found this one on Craigslist for $4,700. Unless the Universe is really on top of things, I don't see being able to get this one, but it is a good visual.
