Second to the last day of the challenge, and I hit it - my first creative block!!!!! I made something - but I may owe you a makeup day. I started with the idea to make Addison a bracelet. I have been seeing macrame all all over the place for spring, and when I was in elementary school I was OBSESSED with macrame! My friend Michelle and I used to sit for hours on end knotting string and yarn to make bracelets. So that's where I begin, early this morning. I sat watching Regis and Kelly making a bracelet - but I didn't like it, so I made another. But then I didn't like that one either.

Second Attempt - Even Worse |
Next i decided to scrap the macrame and just braid three pieces and connect them together in the back with ribbon, maybe even adding some buttons. This is where that ended...

I don't dislike these, and still make do something with them, but wasn't feeling it today.

Then, I grabbed some fabric and thought it might look pretty if I braided it. I was getting warmer, but still not there yet.
Finally, disgusted, I decided to take a crack at fabric macrame. I was definitely liking the thickness of this better. It had a very dainty vintage look, but still needed something so I added a pink rosette. I
like the bracelet, but Addie loved it, so I guess that's good. Here she is:
That's it for today - sorry about my block. You want to know the ironic thing? My kitchen table is a beautiful disaster right now. It's so colorful, and is actually starting to inspire me! LOL.
Maybe I'll get creative second wind later tonight. Let me know if you want a make good for this post. :o)
Till tomorrow - the last day of the challenge!!!!!
