Sisal covered bottles

I have been enjoying the long weekend. Kiddoo didn't have any homework. Easter long weekend is over...I was doing some projects. Even though rain was predicted, it was not that bad.

After seeing the mega doily made by cotton rope on a website, I was really drooling on to make one. So off we went to find a suitable but affordable rope. I thought the sisal was going to be fine. Too bad for me, the sisal I bought from the Canadian Tire is too stiff and not so crochet friendly. So, I have given up on sisal. Then I found some bottles wrapped in jute and yarn on Google images. So I decided to make a few of mine using sisal. I started working with sisal twine and glue gun, the result is two wrapped wine bottles!!!

That picture is taken near to my TV. See another view of it now!

I got some magnetic beads. See them making images on my fridge! Since kiddoo finds it amusing, the beads are dancing to different images whatever she fancies each day. My flowers are giving a sunny mood to the the dull rainy April days.

Those were the projects of the long weekend. To give me some instant gratification, I made a bracelet today. Kiddoo says they are Saturn beads, because of the rings. Have a look...
