Playing with Tassels
I've seen some beautiful handmade tassels out here in blogland and I've been inspired to try to make a few of my own. Let me just say, I. Am. Addicted!!!
These things are so much fun to make! The possibilities are endless as to what you can do. Here's two I've made so far:
I purchased a package of two wooden finials from Lowe's for less than $3 and had hubby screw an eye hook in the top of each one. Then I spray painted one blue and the other one black to match my ribbon that I used on these tassels. Hubby uses a type of tape at his job that comes on a two inch cardboard spool. He brought me home a gallon sized freezer bag full of these things and they make the perfect base for my tassels. I just hot glued my finial onto the cardboard spool and then just filled it in with the loops and strands of ribbon. So simple and so fun! I have purchased a couple more of the finials and I've also found a cute little fairy that I'm going to turn into a tassel as well.
I can't believe that Easter is only a week away! I had so many projects in mind that I intended to make, but just haven't gotten a chance to really work on them much this week. I'm hoping to get at least a few of them done before Easter actually gets here!
Until next time. . .

Happy birthday to my "baby" boy!
On April 13, 1993, I gave birth to an 8 pound, 4 ounce, 21 inch long baby boy. From the first moment I laid eyes on him, he amazed me, awed me, and owned my heart. Today, he is an 18 year old handsome young man who still amazes me, awes me, and owns my heart every single day.
I asked him last week what kind of cake he would like for his birthday and without any hesitation he said, "A boobie cake!" I rolled my eyes and thought "oh, Lord, help me!" but a boobie cake is what he got! It turned out really cute and it tasted good too!
While the past 18 years have been tough at times, I wouldn't change one single minute of it. I've made some mistakes but this precious child loves me in spite of that. He's never known his father but I feel like he's turned out just fine. He has a beautiful smile and a loving spirit. He's awesome and I am so blessed that God chose me to be his Mom! Happy birthday, my beautiful "baby" boy!
