Fun Guest Posts to Share

Hey everybody!  I've just returned from a short trip to Germany.  And although I've got some stuff to share, I first need to report that I've had some cool guest posts published over at The Sewing Loft.

The first one shared directions for a basic macrame friendship bracelet which I learned to make WAY back in my girl scout days.  These are a quick and easy idea for a rainy day or last minute gift.

The second post I wrote uses the same general technique, but instead uses the basic macrame knot to cover wire hangers.

For those of you not familiar with Heather, she ran the coolest series of "KISS" posts on her site last month which are projects that promise to "Keep It Super Simple." Get it?  So have a visit over there if you're looking for some fantastic sewing inspiration, and tell her TJ sent ya!  *SWAK*

TJ comes for a long line of old yarn-covered hanger makers.

Be warned, they're so cool your guests will steal them!

The covered hangers look so handy. I don't like the plastic ones but I use them. I think these would be so much better.

Janet, they are the greatest hangers -- the only bummer is that they take so long to make. My grannies were far more patient than me!

Yarn and color...YUM!
Congrats on the Guest Post, TJ!

Hello! Long time, no hear! I hope you had a great trip. Those wire hangers look great. They look like they take a ton of yarn though! I'm wondering whether I would have the patience to do even one!

Hey Fiona, the hangers really don't take all that much yarn...I start out with two colors, each about the size of baseballs!

It's a good way to use up scrap yarn that you don't have enough of to really make anything else...

Oh, I remember those hangers from childhood. Colorful and fun!
