Lil Chick Tassel



Hello Everyone,
I haven't been around for a while and just wanted to show you what I've been up to lately.  Oh my goodness I've discovered in my blog surfing a whole new group of bloggers out there that do tablescapes!  The are beautiful and very inspiring!  As I was surfing around to the different blogs reading about them I kept seeing these decorative tassels....they seemed to be everywhere....and I hadn't heard about them!  How could that be?!?  So I went to several different blogs and tutorials and decided to try one myself.  They aren't cheap to buy or to make mind you but I'm trying to stay busy so I was determined to make one.  So here is my first attempt at a little chickie tassel.  I'm rather chuffed with myself I must say!  I think she turned out pretty cute!  Now off to find more little goodies to make tassels out of!  Where I will put them all I haven't a clue......maybe they'll become gifts who knows, but this and my crocheting of the hats for newborns is what I'm up to at the moment.  This could change at any moment too.  My crafting Muse is a very fickle one!  She's got my creative juices flowing at the moment now though..........so hopefully I'll be busy and posting a few more projects.  Maybe even a tablescape if I like it enough.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh  one more little tidbit of shopping delight.  Our newest shopping center.  The Pavilion of Port Orange has just opened this past week there is a Home Goods and a brand spanking new Micheals and I got to go in the second the doors opened and it was all bright and shiny and new!  These are two of my favorite stores!  I'm like Gallagher talks about in his act.  I get a glazed look in my eye hear nothing being said to me and my mantra is " I'm shopping"  I guess you had to see the skit.  But I'm there.  Home Goods has seen me almost every day .... So many wonderful goodies there and new stuff every day!  I haven't even ventured on to the other stores yet, but I have eaten at 5 guys burgers!  Yummy!  A great hamburger and great fries.  I wouldn't want to have my cholesteral taken after eating there but I enjoyed every morsel.... Ummm-ummm!  I recommend it!  That's all for now!
Have a great weekend.
Nancy :)
