My Summer Obsession: Macrame!
I became kind of obsessed with macrame.
I watched a couple of Youtube videos to get an idea of the basics and smashed out these 2 wobbly beauties!
I found a clever Macrame lady called Jo with the Instabrag page Retro Craft Revival . She has amazing macrame items in her feed and was kind enough to email some tutorials to me including this lovely plaited style one.
I wanted to do something a bit MORE for my next hanger. This one was a birthday present for the Mothership. 
I first made a basic hanger for this terracotta pot.
I then crocheted a range of flowers. Check out these adorable pansies! Sure I made them but the pattern was written by Little Monkey Crochet. They are so beautiful and this is such an easy, delightful pattern that I really wish I designed it myself. But I didn't. Pop over and check out this pattern and make some. You could make so many colour combinations!
I experimented with making some lily type flowers. I didn't end up using them on this hanger. I crocheted a whole lot of leaves and some random pink 5 petalled flowers, and a length of green chain.
My most recent hanger was a more modest, smaller one I made by following a Youtube video by Gray Wonders. I sewed on some leftover leaves and flowers made earlier.
I really loved this one with the different sections of knots!
Thanks for visiting!

I just *LOVE* all your macrame! It's such a blast to the past for me! I was majorly into it in my 20s and made lots of plant hangers too. Dayle even made a macrame purse for me, I wish I knew where that was. You really need to make yourself a bag.. and one for your mother too. :-) We are staying safe, here too. The CV is a frightening thing. Take care, my friend! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
