I really did intend to finish straightening up my sewing room this morning, but I was distracted by a little bag of Swarovski crystals.
After seeing Victats' Ice Drop, I decided to try a Josephine chain hanger. I think I need to practice, because mine is not a nice tight spiral.
I needed some Christmas bags, so I headed out to Dollar Tree. Look what I found...
Seriously, did I need to buy three bags of glass gems? They do look pretty in the bowl, but I think it will take me forever to make Ice Drops out of them. Yup, it might be time for an intervention!
I was only going to allow myself time to make three Ice Drops this morning, and I did stick to the morning part. However, after allowing myself an afternoon nap... something I hardly ever do... I felt that I needed to make just one more.
You see, the frosted glass gems were calling to me from the bowl.
Maybe I need to put the bowl in another room!

There once was a Tatter so bright
ReplyDeleteShe worked through the day and the night
Couldn't make herself stop
But each gorgeous Ice Drop
Made her beam and rejoice with delight
I love it, Maureen! I just read your poem to Dave. He smiled and asked if it made my day. Yes, it did! Thank you!
DeleteThey are like M&Ms, you can't make just one, you have to tat the whole bag (three bags)
ReplyDeleteWhy have one bag when three will keep you going until after Christmas
ReplyDeleteThey are looking so beautiful your tree will be weighed down
I think it is such fun when you have a passion and if I could tat Ice Drops like you do those gems would be calling my name too. Lovely frosted Icee Drops Dear.
