some crafters just know when to stop and some winners

I made my hanging basket decoration last year

and I was in love with it from the moment I hung it up .

I saw in a magazine recently where they joined two

baskets together and threaded lights through it .

Of course that would be far too simple for me so

I decided to cover the baskets with

 tinsel first and then the lights .

It now looks like I have a big tangled mess

of tinsel with a few lights .

In my house it has been called The Thing

and a few other not very nice names .

At least I tried .

This also may be why Oprah hasn't called .

On to the winners of my 300 post giveaway .

The Sew a Metre book goes to Chookyblue .

The fat quarters go to Samelinas Mum

The pattern goes to Marble Rose

Ladies please email me with your details .
