70’s Flashback

This one is Mary’s fault. 

Back in December, she signed us up for a macrame class at our local fancy plant shop (making the gnomes) and I remembered how much fun knotting can be.

Yes, I could have bought plant hangers on Am*zon for cheap but what’s the fun in that? The idea is to take advantage of the great light from our front window and also keep plants out of kitty’s reach. 

Pattern is ‘No Tassel Easy Plant Hanger’ by Marching North (here). Great directions - there's a free (with ads) and a pay (no ads) version - plus YouTube videos of various knots and the step-by-step knot-along. 

It took me two evenings to finish, and it’s not perfect, but I had fun and love how it looks. 

Also added a disco ball planter. So sparkly and silly.

Mary and I are going to make another hanger (this one) on Mother’s Day, crafting together via FaceTime. Can’t wait!

Also, Coco Chai (her now official name) did great at the vet. She wasn’t happy about it - she jumped off the exam table and tried to make herself invisible by pressing her nose in a corner - but she cooperated and didn’t make a fuss. Such a good little girl!
