A New Collection in the Etsy Shop!

Hi, blog friends!

Today I'm excited to share that I have some new goods in the shop, and I think they're pretty neat. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed lots of rope sitting around and being knotted. That's because I decided to go with rope and knots this time around to create a collection of macrame wall hangings to list in my Etsy shop, Viola Maye. These pieces are a big larger than my previous fiber art, and they feature some lovely driftwood I've found along the Puget Sound. Here are a few of my favorites:

Thirty-One

As is tradition, I was sick today on my birthday and in the days leading up to it. I refuse to get a flu shot because I hate needles, so every year (nearly always on my January birthday) I get very sick.

On Friday, I stayed home from work because I had a 102 degree temperature, aches, chills, the works. On Saturday, I laid in bed and accepted that death was near. But by God, on Sunday I dragged myself out of bed and up to the top of the Space Needle for Fun Times because it was my birthday.

Thanks for taking care of me, Rand.

Macrame that Made Me Laugh

Recently I came across and ordered some awesome cotton rope. It's just the right size, and a great price for 1200' spools of it, so I've been ordering as much as I can afford and attempting to recreate all the knots and designs I admire. Macrame can be so beautiful and elegant, but not always.

Oh no, sometimes it is hilarious. Here are some images of macrame too awesome/ridiculous not to share.
