<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">to Venice, Fl. to see our dear friends, Susie and</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Mark Holt. We hadn't seen them in over four</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">years, and hadn't been to their shop "Posh on</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">We had visited several times their shop in Sarasota,</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">and sadly they had to close that shop as the owners</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">of the building sold the place for a high-rise to take</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">it's place. So sad, as it was a historic hotel at one</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">traffic because of a horrible rain storm, we finally</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">a bit rusty I must say. I hadn't done any photography</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">late in the day, I didn't have a lot of time, so I just</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">took me out back of the shop to show his unique garden.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I was amazed at how sweet this area was, and that</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">is where I started taking pictures. As I was taking</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">photos, a lady with a French accent came out there</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">and she said it reminded her of the garden shops</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">in Paris. And that was exactly the feel I got from</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was in the midst of creating a new centerpiece which never got finished, and </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">getting all excited for the coming holidays when we </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">had to make a decision about renewing our lease where </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">we were living at the time, for the last two and half years. </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">It was a huge home for the two of us at 3700 sq. ft.

<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As you can see it was a two story too. The master bedroom </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">was upstairs along with my hubby's office. He had to climb </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">those stairs all the time, but because he still doesn't walk </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">real well from his stroke, they were becoming dangerous </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">for him to maneuver. He darn near fell down them a couple </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">of times, thank God I was standing at the bottom all of those </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">times and I broke his falls. Tile floors were at the bottom of </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">those stairs. In our home prior to this one, he fell in the </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">kitchen hitting his head on the tile floor, knocked him </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">unconscious, cracked his head open, was bleeding like </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">someone had shot him in the head, and his body went into </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">spasms. I thought he was dead! I have never seen so much </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">blood in my life. He ended up in intensive care with that one.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Thank God my son was there because I </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">just flipped out! </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">So with that always in the back of my </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">mind, I was a nervous wreck all the time with these stairs! </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">And....when ever I had to be gone, even with making sure </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">he had everything he needed like food and drink until I </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">returned, </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">he would forever go down and up those stairs </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">even when he promised he wouldn't. I was stressed all the time...even </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">when he was downstairs with me and had to get up for </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">anything. The whole downstairs was tile flooring. And it </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">wasn't just him either. When the grandkids visit, they </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">love to run around...it was a big house and I had to be on </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">them about running because I was terrified they would </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">trip and fall.</span></em></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">When my husband was in the hospital with </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">his stroke, a young seventeen year old girl was in critical </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">condition with a massive brain injury from tripping over </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">her own feet and fell hitting the tile floor in their home. </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I still don't know if she pulled through or not, but her </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">parents were told if she did, she would never be the same </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">again. She had hit her forehead and had massive </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">hemorrhaging in her brain. All of this and Jacks bad </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">fall just kept me in fear all the time...actually panic </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">all the time. Plus the expenses were killing us with </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">everything going up! So I decided it was time to look </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">for something where my hubby didn't have to climb stairs </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">for anything and find something cheaper so we could </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">breath easier financially.</span></em></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">The owners of the home told our property manager we </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">could go month to month until we found something. We started looking right away, but a week later they wanted us </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">to sign a sixth month lease! No way!!! Reason being is </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">we would have to give a sixty day notice to move and that </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">is almost impossible for us, because in order to find a place </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">we would have to pay for two places in order to have </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">someone hold whatever we find until we could move. </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">We couldn't afford that, especially living on SS and </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">disability! Well as luck would have it, we found a place </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">that we thought was perfect for us right off the bat keeping </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">us from having to sign any lease. Problem was, we only </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">had a few days to do this move! And I had no one to help! And now it's Thanksgiving!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This was the home....master was downstairs! No tile floors! </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">All the floors were hardwood except the bathrooms. A bit </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">softer than tile. It was smaller in size so I wasn't so over-</span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">whelmed anymore. The rent was half of what we were p</span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">aying previously, and the utilities were less than half.</span></em></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">There was two bedrooms </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">upstairs, one planned for the grandkids, plus a guest </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">room, a large full bath, and a </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">small landing area with a built in desk area for the kids </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">with the computers we have for them.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">The downstairs had living room, dining room, kitchen and </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">all open to each other. Laundry room, large master suite, </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">and a half bath. Lots of windows so it was bright. It also </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">had a one car garage....that would give me a spot to put </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">everything I couldn't fit in the house until I got rid of it all.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: small;"></span></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">The big bonus we found out that we didn't know about </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">which is why this place would be perfect....was there was </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">a one bedroom cottage out back that was ours to use as a </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">mother-in-law suite! Perfect!!!! Why.....I could put my </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">craft and sewing stuff in that, set up a small office for </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">hubby, and set up his bow-flex and treadmill for his </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">exercise program to help his stroke recovery. It gave us everything we needed and we loved the house and the Key West style it had. And who wouldn't love the porch! I had plans for that too. The yard was rough, hardly any grass and the backyard looked like an over grown mess, with trash all over and leaves a few inches deep. The property on the right between us and the neighbors was so over grown, broken limbs, vines, and trash it was an eye sore. So dummy me asked if I could clean it all up. "Of course!", the property manager for the place says! (I could kick myself now!) I use to own a lawn and landscape company, so I love my yard to look nice...immaculate would be a better word.</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We were thrilled and filled out the paper work right away. Rentals don't last long in Mount Dora, nor do homes for sale. Mount Dora is a very sought after place to live, so when you find something you better act quickly! We were approved immediately and a couple of days later on Thanksgiving day I was packing and taking over all that I could by myself. We still didn't have anyone to help. But, then our church came through for us. Took us a week to pack and move but we got it done. Bought killed us all!</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now a note here: when we first looked at the house and was told we would have the cottage out back, we were told there was a young guy back there renting, but he would be moving out the first of January. Ok.... so we thought fine, we would just put everything in the garage but we couldn't fit everything into it so, I had stuff loaded on the right side of the house on the porch too. I also set Jack a spot on the dining room table with his computer and stuff so he could have a work space for the time being until we could get things set up in the cottage. Two days after everything is signed, our new property manager with ReMax tells us, that if we want the main house, we had no option but to take the cottage. Well that made no sense until the next words were... oh and now we want more money for it! We both thought what the heck! They had already told us this was all one package! Well it wasn't that much more $100.00, which to us is a lot, but we said ok. So we get all moved in. Then our property manager comes by and says the owner will be cleaning and painting the cottage after the guy moves out and then we will have access. Ok....but what they wouldn't say is WHEN that may be. </span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now our new neighbors are welcoming us to the neighborhood. And filling our ears about the owner of this home we just moved into and the young guy out back! It was leaving us with the feeling of what have we got ourselves into! PLUS....they were charging us for the cottage and we weren't even using it yet and the owner is collecting money from the tenant to boot. Is that even legal!? And just one more kicker......the utilities to the cottage, electric and water, are on OUR BILL! We're thinking "are you kidding me!?"</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"></span></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Well the guy doesn't move out on January 1st. And he is still here at the end of January! He is being all sweet and nice and continually saying he doesn't want to move and bla bla bla! And he has this big dog that runs all over, craps all over and the guy doesn't clean it up, and when that dog is out our dog goes nuts and barking. The guy throws his garbage all over the place too boot! Now we are getting ticked! We now have found out that the last tenant who lived in the main house was told the cottage was just used for storage, but when she and her family move in....she finds that this guy is living there and has been for two years! Well she can't move again so she works out a deal with the guy to pay half of the utilities and she lives here for two years. We also find out that 15 or more couples had looked at the house prior to us but won't rent it because of the cottage situation and the guy, and the utility issue. We also found out that the owner had lied to the city when he bought this property with just the cottage. He wanted to build a new house but he was suppose to tear down the cottage. He told the city that the cottage was going to be a mother-in-law suite and he was going to have his parents live there, with him in the main house. Oh....and there is no heat in the cottage either...and we've since learned there is mold in it because it only has a tiny window air unit to cool it which isn't large enough for the cottage! This whole thing is just getting worse and worse until the owner shows up one day because the day we started moving in someone from the cities department of code enforcement shows up here and goes back to the cottage and leaves a notice on the door. They have issues with how bad it looks saying it needs to get cleaned up, painted, and repaired. And while the owner is here, he asks me to put in my garage all the crap of his I took out so we could get our stuff in there back in it. I told him NO! There is no room for it! I don't even have enough room for my own stuff! I told him once we are able to move the stuff out of the garage into the cottage then his stuff might fit, but I'm thinking "what a moron," I pay you for this space for us, not storing your crap too! Then he starts spouting "oh no....no no no"! I asked no what!? No, we don't get the cottage! I said what do you mean, we were told it was a mother-in-law suite that went with this house, it's all one address, our name is on the utilities for it, AND YOUR CHARGING US EXTRA FOR IT!!! and we haven't been able to use it yet! Now we are seeing RED!!!!! We contact our property manager....and it goes back and forth with a lot of bull all through most of February. I finally told them enough!!! We didn't sign up for this crap, we were lied to and deceived, and I want all our money back, and we are moving and I want our moving expenses paid too! Our lease was broken by all of them and I would get an attorney. I called the cities code enforcement office to see if renting two places on one address using the same utilities was even legal! They are now investigating this whole thing but we did learn he didn't have a permit to rent out the cottage, nor is anyone suppose to be renting it. It's one place only. But, guess what? That guy is still living in the back and isn't moving! I guess they thought if they lied to us so we would rent and move in, we would just roll over like the last tenant here did and let the guy stay and just split the bills. NO FLIPPIN WAY! He and his friends come and go all night long, partying, and whatever. There is one driveway, so they park all over the yard too! And, now he has a girlfriend that is practically living there....now one more car in the way! We are over this! So now the search is on for a new place to live and hubby and I are fuming!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">OH and up further where I mentioned cleaning up the yard? Well on Christmas Day I started doing that and spent four weeks using a hand saw, climbing trees to trim branches that were hanging down to the ground, pulling vines covering the fence in the back and down one side that you couldn't even see, or that there were homes behind us! I raked and raked, picked up tons of trash from the moron behind us, cut down tons of over growth, small trees that had no where to grow, and just cleaning up everything! The neighbors were so excited and just loved me! One couple said they have lived here 40 years, and NO ONE has ever cleaned this property up. They could see their house value rising and everyday walked over to see what else I had done. Well it isn't finished and I am not going to do another thing! I saved this jerk about two thousand or more with all the work I did! And then he does us like this! If I could I would find a dump and fill this yard back up with garbage and yard trash! I am fuming and stressed out to the max about all this! Hubby and I can't wait to get the heck out of here! Just writing this I can feel my blood pressure rise! We are DONE!!! They all played us as fools! It's time to MOVE!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In our search to find a place, we came across this darling vintage cottage. Built in 1910 with all it's original baseboards, moldings, heart of pine flooring, door knobs, and charm. We both fell in love with it! It was perfect for us and everything I wanted in a cottage home. It is adorable and the people who owned it the last seventeen years did a fabulous job updating it. It is gorgeous! It's small, but perfect for us and wait till you see the surprise in this place! A small basement AND this gorgeous attic with tons of potential! I immediately had a vision of it all finished off! It would be beautiful!</span></em></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So to end this post....I just wanted to share it with you! We tried really hard to get it, but it was for sale. We hoped they would be willing to do a lease option, because soon hopefully, we would be able to purchase it outright. The owners don't live in it as they live out of state, but they only want to sell it. I saw it a year ago, not inside but I fell in love just by the outside. Once we saw the inside, I was drooling! We have found a place to rent now, but this is still not off our table. If there is a way, we want it!!!! I really debated sharing this cause I don't want anyone to swoop in to try for it. So be nice.....it has spoke to me! It wants me, and needs me to love it! It knows I will respect every inch of her, and honor her history! I wouldn't change a thing, except finish that attic! It is going to be my lady place! It's gonna be mine folks.....mine mine mine! I hope! :) Don't ask where we found it, because I'm not telling lol!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">This first photo is of the front. A beautiful wide veranda with mahogany wood flooring! Can you believe that!? When sitting on the veranda, you have a view of a nearby lake too! If I remember right, there are fans on the ceiling of the porch, if not I was going to add a couple on either side, and some pretty lights on either side of the door. There is a light center of the veranda over the entrance way. Cedar shake siding (which I love) and those sweet columns. And look at the double front door entrance! See how narrow those doors are!? So flippin cool! I loved them! And look at the stone columns at the yard entrance with that old gate! There is another gate just like it on the left side yard. At the back of the house on the right rear, is another covered porch just like this only smaller, with a sidewalk leading out to a one car garage. I so love this beauty! Lots of pretty landscaping and shrubs all around the property to act like a fence. My heart just pounds talking about this special place!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hello World and Happy Sunday to You!</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Well I am three weeks into knocking off </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">pumpkin making from my two year old list, and doing a bit of </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Fall decorating. In my surfing the net for some </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">decorating ideas, I came across a lady who I </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">admire from a far. I'm sure many of you know </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">of her. Her blog is called <a href="http://www.craftberrybush.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Craftberry Bush</span></a>, her name </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">is Lucy. She is one very talented lady and I love her mind and ideas and her creativity.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">In this post I was looking at </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">this very cool <a href="http://www.craftberrybush.com/2011/09/twine-and-chicken-wire.html"><span style="color: #ea9999;">chicken wire pumpkin</span></a> she made, along with </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">this amazing idea of making wheat stalks with </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">twine. I immediately thought the wheat stalks </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">would look great in my vase of </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">pretty colored Fall leaves.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">So I searched her site to see if there was a tutorial for it. </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I didn't find one but she did mention using a "Fishtail" </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">braid to make them by. I didn't know what a fishtail braid was so I did a search on the net </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">and tried to figure it out myself. After playing </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">around for a while I finally figured it out! Yea! I made </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">twenty stalks and added some to my Fall leaf arrangement and it was just the right of something to give a little interest to the arrangement...I thought anyway. I also added some to my basket of faux veggies I have on the table in the breakfast nook. They were fun and fast to make once I got my rhythm going, and I was tickled pink to conquer the challenge of making them. The only thing left I want to do is to take the shish kabob skewers and rub some coffee grounds on them to age them just a tad.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I made a tutorial for creating them if anyone else thinks them pretty cool too. There are pictures and steps below! I hope you don't get confused by anything, because I confused the tar out of myself trying to come up with an easy way to explain and show how I did it! Hopefully it came out ok, but the pictures I think show it well enough for you to be successful. If not just ask me to explain further on what ever you might not understand. I have to give thanks to Ms. Lucy for the whole idea. It was a great one!</span></em></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">added those to a couple of decorations I made for Fall.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I've made them in a couple of different ways and still have</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">everything I look at could be a pumpkin! But by golly this</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">But I think I am on pumpkin overload! I go to the store</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">to pick up a few things I needed, and on my list was some</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">garlic. I get home and am putting away the groceries and</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">as I turn around I spy my bag of garlic. I take them out of</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">the bag, set the three bulbs on the counter and my phone</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">rings. After the call I proceed to finish putting away the</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">rest of the groceries and go to pick up the bulbs of garlic</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">to put in the veggie crisper and what do you suppose I see?</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Well of course I had to do it! I got out my black and white</span></em></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">become hair and in need of a bow. I painted eyes on each</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">of the bulbs, and mouths, glued on the bows with my glue</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Thinking they were so cute I took them into my hubby's</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">office here at home to show him my new creations. Guess</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">what he does? He starts dying laughing! When he finishes</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">he suggests I get the thermometer so he can take my temp.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Then he starts laughing again! After a few seconds I asked</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">if he was done, he said yes and starts laughing again!</span></em></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">over to sit in his favorite spot and sees my little garlic ghost</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">pumpkins. I'm in the kitchen and I'm just waiting...just</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">waiting for one more crack of laughing! But this time he</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">surprised me. He says, "sweetie, those are so cute and the</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">He says, "sweetie did you hear me?" I said, "yes I did, are</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">you afraid I might poison your dinner!?" He starts laughing</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">again and say's, "no...well maybe!" Then says while he is</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">still chuckling, "your mind never ceases to amaze me... </span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">YOU are the only person I know that would paint a face</span></em></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">again! I think he was just afraid what I might to do his</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Are you a crafter, gardener, or a jack-of-all-trades kind of lady? If you are any of these then I am positive you know and have used twine before! If not, then I am going to share some surprising ways one can use twine! Twine has a plethora of ways to use and incorporate into I swear almost anything! I have used it in so many ways and projects my list is too long to list! One of the things I love about twine especially when used in my many craft projects, is the feel of a nautical beachy, or rustic look it gives. I like that a lot!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Recently I found this website through a friend of mine called <a href="http://www.hometalk.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Hometalk</span></a>. Have you heard of it!? Well if you haven't you need to visit! It's an amazing site! I have been spending alot of time there when I'm not crafting.</span></em></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">At Hometalk, you set up an account, and then you can scroll through hours of projects for home and garden, and diy tutorials, and clip them to boards you create for future reference. Plus you can make comments on the things you like, pin them to Pinterest, Facebook, Tweet It, Google+ it, or email it to a friend. And....the best part....you can post your projects just like if you were blogging too! </span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">In fact, I was so honored that</span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"> my very first post, </span></em><a href="http://cameocottagedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-ballard-design-demijohn-knockoff.html"><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">My Ballard Design Demijohn Knock Off Bottles Only Better With Bling!</span></a> <em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">was featured right off! And they went viral! Every where, Pinterest, Facebook, and on other blogs and web pages! I was shocked! And then, one </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">of the gals at Hometalk visited my blog and fell in love with my <a href="http://cameocottagedesigns.blogspot.com/2013/04/recycled-bottles-for-moms-new-lake-house.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">twine wrapped bottles</span></a> I made for my mom along with another twine wrapped bottle I did.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Plus when you post a share, you can add several pictures, of your project, and link it to your blog or website for more info if you want. Or just blog it all right there if you don't have a blog or website! How cool is that! And one more thing, if you have questions about anything, just ask! There is a group of professionals there to help and guide you along with everyone else on Hometalk that is a member if they have information to share on your question! It's great!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I was asked to curate at board for them on twine! Now that was really exciting and scarey all at the same time! </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I have never done that before....didn't even know what it was! But once it was explained to me, I was on it! It was suppose to be 10 to 15 projects using twine. Well I found over fifty I liked lol! I weeded and weeded, found some more, weeded again and got it down to 27. </span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I was aiming to try to show just how useful twine is, and how many ways twine can be used along with how may types of twine there is! From just a little touch of it, or a whole project, twine can change the look of anything for that just right finish! With the ones I choose, which was tough to decide with so many I wanted to share, you will also I'm sure be inspired by all the projects themselves that the twine was used in. I was for sure! Twine is a commodity no one should be without!</span></em></div>

I was tickled pink!

I have been designing a home office for him and I had this idea to make him a

beachy but it needed to be masculine too. I wanted it to go well with leather furniture,
his dark wood desk, bookcases, a few antiques, and not clash with his golf
stuff, or his collection of memorabilia</em><em> of nerdy things. He's a software architect, designer,
and developer, for the medical profession. He is quite the smarty pants he is!</em></span></div>

Maybe it was because of sitting by the pond staring into the water and thinking about growing up on the lake, and missing what I used to love, the lake and sailing. Sailing! My vision was sailboat! Maybe I could pull this off! So I went and got some white spray paint and painted both the stones completely.

<span style="font-size: large;"><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Anyway....I found my stick, and once the paint had dried on my stones, I took some Gorilla Super Glue spread it over the stone that was going to be the bottom of this sailboat, then took my glue gun and spread a good amount of that on because that sets quicker than the Gorilla Super Glue does. I then set my smaller stone on top. I used both glues because I didn't want the top stone to slide off before the super glued dried. Those stones are heavy buggers believe it or not! When picking this up if it fell apart and hit your toes, that stone would bring tears to your eyes! Anyway, the two glues worked great and they are good and stuck together. Next I glued the stick on the top of the two stones again with both glues. I tried using just the glue gun but it kept falling off. I think it was because of the paint, it just wouldn't adhere well. </span></span></em></span></div>

I</span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;"> had crap </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">all over </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">the place. As I was cleaning up, I </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">came across </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">some </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">natural looking rope I had planned on </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">taking back </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">to the store and forgot to do it. I picked it up, looked at my </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">stones and </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">saw the glue that oozed out from when I glued on the </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">stick. The rope would be perfect around the bottom of the stick to </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666;">hide the glue. And.....it had a nautical look to it! Perfect!</span></em></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">So I added it and liked it! But then I </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">thought I should </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">put some rope around in between </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">the two stones. Did it </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">and, I liked it a lot too. Now my </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">brain is getting inspired and </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I see my boat vision, </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">but better than the first vision! With </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">my other projects </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I had been working with my drop cloth fabric, love </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">that stuff! The color I have is in a natural off white, </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">which played along with my rope. Now I'm on a </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">roll and thoughts and pictures are flying in my mind!</span></em></div>

<span style="color: black;"><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Side note: That photo in the frame behind the sailboat </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">is a picture of the old house I grew up in on Fine Lake </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">in Michigan. It went through a couple of remodels and </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">that screen porch became more living area, and then </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">it was a kitchen. A year and a half ago it was torn down </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">to the ground and a one story took its place for my mom. </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">It was on that lake, I learned to sail. If things work out, </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">my hubby and I hope to be living there in the summers. M</span></em></span><span style="color: black;"><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">y mom passed away this last May and left it to my </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">five sisters and I. We've rented it for the time being, but </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">hopefully next summer we will have it back and be staying </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">there and, I will be sailing that lake again all summer long! </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Two of my sisters sent me that </span></em></span><span style="color: black;"><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">picture in the frame for my </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">birthday this last July.

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I laid my boat over on it's side on my drop cloth to draw a line for the shape of the stick. Then from there I drew the rest of the sails from that and cut them out. Then I decided I wanted stripes on the sails so I found some nautical colored fabric paint I liked and taped off my stripes using some painters tape and painted in my stripes. I let that dry, but thought the sails needed something to frame them, plus keep them from raveling. In jumps the twine! When the paint dried I got my glue gun and little by little I edged the fabric with my glue gun and laid the twine in place. After that was done, I decided to put a strip of the twine around the rope pieces too. That just seemed to be the perfect thing to enhance the rope. Now it just seems to all play together.</span></em></div>

<em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Then I remembered sails have numbers on them! </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Why I don't know, but I needed to add some. As I </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">was pondering what I wanted as numbers, I came </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">up </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">with two important dates.

August, 11 back in 2000. That </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">was the day we were to be married on too, but his stroke </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">messed that up. Now because this was for his birthday, </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">the other set of numbers became his birthday. September </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">6. I got so excited because I knew knowing my </span></em><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">hubby like I do, he was going to love this!

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Don't you just love old vintage buckets and pails!?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">The rust and dents and scratches just get me giddy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">when I see them. I scarf them up every chance I get!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">They remind me of when I was little going out to the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">farm where my father grew up...always lots of buckets!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">They had a apple orchard, pear orchard, and a big garden!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">Needless to say, I learned very young what to do with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">a bucket! The memories of growing up just flooded</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">my mind while I transformed the ones below.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">Good Times!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">There are just endless ways of transforming these old</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">vintage pails and buckets. I kinda favor burlap, lace,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">lace rolled roses, and of course a bit of bling!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">I also like to paint numbers on them just to display.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">For a beach decor theme, paint them white, or aqua</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">yellow, green, or pink, </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">and fill them with shells,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">or pretty summer flowers. You can decoupage them,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">or </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">paint a picture on them. Tons of possibilities!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">And, there are so many things you can use them for!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">They are a perfect addition to farm house decor....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">even in the bathroom for rolled up towels, or bath</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">accessories. The kitchen for your utensils.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">Sweet additions to country weddings to display flowers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">For a countryside picnic they are great for chilling</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">a bottle of wine on ice. Picking apples, displaying</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">small pumpkins, as a stand for a small Christmas</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">tree, fill with pine cones, or even use for your nut</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">holder for the holidays. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">And they are a great addition</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">to use in a vignette for </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">photo shoots just to name a few.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I countryfied these two buckets, actually coal buckets for</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">a friend of mine who had a shop and they weren't selling.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">Neither were her vintage galvanized pails. I suggested doing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">something fun with them to deck them up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">This first one I did a white wash with paint then sanded it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">lightly. I got out my burlap, white paint, some lace, a vintage</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">lace tablecloth that had some damage, and some vintage</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">rhinestone jewelry. I painted a square of white on the burlap,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">and then hand painted "Farm Girl" in black over the white</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">painted area. (I was thinking country girl with this one.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">After the paint dried, I Mod Podged it to the bucket and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">added two stripes of cream colored </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">lace at the top </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">bottom of the painted area to kinda frame </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">it a bit, also with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">the Mod Podge. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">Then I cut long wide strips of the vintage</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;"> lace </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">tablecloth, </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">and rolled it into roses...with my glue gun</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">I glued a bit of bling </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">in the </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">flowers </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">center. Three were</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">grouped on the front and glued on with my glue gun also,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">with a clipping </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">of the fancy lace I tied at the handle that had</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">like a stem and </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">leaves. I set a potted miniature rose bush in it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">and it was done!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">around the bucket also. I secured it with my glue gun in the</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">some bling in its center. I cut another piece of burlap and pinched</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">clipped it into streamers. I added a second rolled lace rose</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">with bling where the handle connected to the bucket. I took</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">two </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">very narrow strips of the lace tablecloth and wrapped it</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1. Starting at the top of your bottle, take the end of your roll of twine/jute and wrap it around the neck of your bottle where you want your netting to begin. You are going to be making a ring.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">3. You can either tie a knot <span style="color: black;">(cut a little extra to allow for the knot)</span>.... or, I wanted my ring cleaner looking so I dabbed a good amount of glue on both ends of my twine....overlap the ends about a quarter inch or a little less. When the glue is cooled down enough to touch but not set and dried yet, I squeezed the twine ends together and start rolling it back and forth in between my fingers to get the glue to smish into the twine fibers, and connecting the two ends together smoothly. Be careful not to burn your fingers! After a couple of times of burning my fingers, I learned to wait a bit instead of being in a hurry lol!</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">5. Now take the twine, and measuring from the top of your bottle to the bottom, take that length <span style="color: black;">and x's that length by 4</span>. <span style="color: black;">(Example)..</span> If your bottle is <strong>5" tall</strong>, then your <span style="color: black;">cut length</span> would be <span style="color: black;">20" long</span>. It's better to have extra than not enough. Now cut six pieces that length. I have even times it by five. Don't worry about all the excess you might have left. If you are going to do the twine wrap at the neck of your bottle, we'll use those pieces left over on that! I waste as little as possible! <span style="color: black;">(A tighter weave means lots more knots! The more knots the more twine you need!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">(Note)</span> The more strands of twine/jute you use, depends on how far spaced your netting, or weave lets call it, will look. If you want a wide/large loose look netting <span style="color: black;">(how large your diamond shapes will be, you'll see this diamond shape look shortly)</span> then you would use less strands... like six. If you want a tighter weave you would use more. In the picture of my bottles up above, on the large bottle which measured 13 1/2" high, I used 10 strands, on the medium size bottle which measured 11 3/4" high, and small bottle which measured 9 1/2" high, I used 9 strands for both. On the demijohn I'm using in this tutorial, I'm using 15 strands. <span style="color: black;">(I want a tighter weave net look.) Remember, less strands = larger loose weave, more strands = tighter weave. Example in the photo below of each.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">6. Take your first long strand and find the center of it and fold it in half...pinch it tight to form a bit of a crease. I do that so I don't lose my center allowing me to keep my strands even in length when attaching my strand to the ring.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">7. Take the folded center of your strand and slide it up behind or underneath the jute/twine ring at the neck of your bottle. <span style="color: black;">(picture 7. shows what I mean here.)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span><br />

</div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">8. Now pull your folded center down over the ring making a loop, and pull your strands up through the loop.</span> </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">9. This shows you have like a heart shape.</span></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">10. Pull the strands all the way through this loop to create your loop knot..make it snug up to the ring.</span> </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">11. Continue doing that with all your strands and it should look like picture 11. when your done. Then I evenly distribute the strands on the ring if needed just by sliding them left or right. If you have used six strands to start with, you know have 12 strands to work with from your six knotted loops. Hope that makes sense....just look at the pictures! :)</span></div>

Start there to tie your knot. It's important to keep your strands in line with how they fall. You don't want cross overs. Hope that made sense. Picture 12. shows what I mean I hope. This picture also shows where I am placing my first knot to start, and pictures 13.- 14.- and 15 shows how I make the knot.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This photo is how my hand is holding the jute between picture 14. & 15. It shows how I hold the twine to create the knot with my left hand. What it </span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">isn't showing, because I am snapping this picture with my camera is, my fingers of my right hand are holding onto the two pieces of twine laying over my thumbnail. I am going to pull the two twine strands that's underneath my thumb through this loop to the left until both strands have come all the way through. You then push the knot tight. You may have to adjust a little bit if tightening the knot made the knot go up higher from where you had decided you wanted your knot to lay to start your first row of knots. Just loosen the knot and ease it down a bit and tighten the knot back up again. Or if it is to low, you reverse that instruction. How you doing so far!? :) If your good, lets move on!</span></div>

When deciding where you want your second row of knots place and to keep an even uniformed look all the way through making your netting, keep this in mind. The two top black arrows show the length of the twine strands from the ring to the first row of knots. The bottom two black arrows show the length of the twine strands from when you start your second row of knots (the white arrow.) Keep those lengths the same on each row all the way to the finish. A teeny bit off is ok, but you want each of your rows and the sizes of your diamonds to look uniformed throughout the entire knotting process. You get a good professional look that way! :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Yea now we have reached the bottom of the bottle!!!! <span style="color: black;">Ignore the neck of the bottle for now...We will do that last if you choose to want to do that. </span>Now this to me is important....your LAST row of knots should hit right at the bottom edge of your bottle so as you set it upright flat on a surface, your knots aren't under the edge. Adjust the knots up more if it is. It's ok at this point if your diamond shape is a bit off.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now lets get this baby finished!!!! There are two ways you can do this....I'll show you my way first...then the other ok?</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">Like I said before I like smooth finished surfaces. So as you see in the photo above, <span style="color: black;">I have pulled each set of strands tightly,</span> starting with one set on one side <span style="color: black;">(left)</span> of the bottom of my bottle, and take my glue gun and glue it in towards the center <span style="color: black;">(not all the way to the center)</span> of the bottles bottom. You don't want a big hump under your bottles bottom! Then I take another set of strands on the opposite side <span style="color: black;">(right)</span> of the bottle and do the same thing. Think of a clock....12, 3, 6, and 9. Those are the strands I glue first. Then I glue down the rest in between each. <span style="color: black;">(</span><span style="color: black;">I do that to help get an even pull down of my netting because if you pull down on one side, it tends to make the ring at the top of your bottle shift. You want that ring to lay even all the way around the top of your bottle when your finished with the bottom.)</span> Then I trim all the excess strands of jute off from where I glued them down. When the glue isn't so hot and cooled some, I press the jute ends down into the glue and smooth them out on the bottle. When it is all done it will look like this.....below:</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">See how the jute butts up against the bottom knots. Now the bottle will sit nicely flat on your surface. No rocking!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">Ok... moving on to get this finished look! Now glue doesn't always adhere to glass well. So the next step I do is taking my jute and do a wrap all around the bottom of the bottle starting in the center and work around until I've reach the last row of knots at the bottom of my bottle. <span style="color: black;">(Seen up above.)</span> I use my Mod Podge and twine/jute to do this with. I start by taking my roll of twine end, and dip the end of it in the Mod Podge. Don't cut off the twine yet....you will need a lot! Then I start wrapping around and around making a small circle in my hand, and then I brush Mod Podge all over the top and bottom of it. I find the center of my bottles bottom, and place my little circle there. I wait a few minutes to let it dry and hold in place. The photo's below show how I started my little jute circle to jute wrap the bottom of my bottle. Warning this gets messy! Oh and if you would like to know how to <strong>Twine Wrap Bottles</strong> in twine from bottom to top see this tutorial <a href="http://cameocottagedesigns.blogspot.com/2013/04/recycled-bottles-for-moms-new-lake-house.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">here</span>:,</a> it's at the bottom part of the post.

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">Once firmly in place I take my sponge brush and smear Mod Podge all over the twine strands, dried glue, and the bottles glass bottom. Then I continue wrapping around and around the little circle keeping each wrap snug up to the wrap before. The Mod Podge dries pretty quickly so I have to be brushing more Mod Podge as I go until I have reached my knots at the bottom side of my bottle. Then I snip the end off, brush it with Mod Podge and press it up close to the last row around I did. I then go and press down all that jute wrapped bottom making sure my wrapping has attached itself to the bottom well and nothing while I was wrapping got an air bubble somewhere. And I am DONE!!! With the bottom anyway.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">******************************************************</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">Now the other way to finish the bottom off is by making another ring like you did on the neck of the bottle. Make it about half the size of the circumference of the bottom of the bottle.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">
Next, tightly pull and tie all of your strands to the ring and tie the same knot you did through out your bottle netting.</span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">Once all your knots are done, trim all the extra pieces of jute and I recommend adding a dab of glue to the knots to keep them from coming undone. And your done! With the bottom anyway....this way is a lot faster and less messy, but sometime those knots stand in the way of the bottle sitting flat on a surface. It can also raise the bottle from the surface it's sitting on too. And again, I like mine to look finished on the bottom. It just comes down to your preference.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I don't have a photo of that because I didn't like it and did it the other way. Sorry. Just imagine a ring with your strands tied in a knot to it. :)</span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">Almost DONE!!!! Hurray!!! Now lets get this neck finished!!</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">This part is pretty easy!</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">Take the end of your twine again, and dip it in the Mod Podge. Lay it on your bottle <span style="color: black;">(I start at what will be my back of the bottle,) </span><span style="color: #666666;">and lay it right above the ring close. Let it set to adhere to the glass. Next, take your sponge brush and dip it in your Mod Podge and brush it around the neck of the bottle, just one once around. Now start wrapping your twine around and around, brushing more Mod Podge as you go. Make sure to keep all the twine wrap close together as you wrap so there are no gaps. When you get to the top, snip off the twine...Mod Podge the end and lay it up against your last row. And you are finally finished and have a beautiful bottle to add to your home decor! If you want take a look at the link I put up above for the Twine Wrapped Bottles to see more detail in pictures.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">(NOTE)....I mentioned up above at the beginning of measuring your strands of twine for the knotted netting for your bottle, that you might have a lot of excess twine left when you cut your strands off at the bottom. And I mentioned I waste little. I had for this bottle several long lengths of twine after cutting it off at the bottom. I used these strands to do the twine neck wrap. You can't even tell the neck wrapped area was done in pieces! See no waste here! :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">When I finished this big demijohn I thought I wondered</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">how it would look with a topper. Not that it needed one</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">but I just wondered. A couple of years ago, I recycled my</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">light bulbs by wrapping them in twine just like you do twine</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">wrapped bottles, and I stuck a stick on the screw in part of the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">bulb and made pears! Well I spied them in a bowl on the table</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">and thought hmmmm....might work for my bottle topper. This</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">bulb was a three-way light bulb so it was larger. I stuck it in</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">upside down and darn if it didn't work and the right size too!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">You could do this on smaller size bottles too, just use smaller</span></div>

And it put me into tears, no acutally bawling my eyes out!</em></span></div>

<em><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">That fabric napkin that I decided to go with for the sails of this silly little boat matches the color scheme my mom choose for her new lake side house! She choose a striped sofa in blues, greens, and white, and had a chair from her mother redone in blue. My sister Terrie made her a coffee table out of pallets that the lumber to build the house was delivered on, and she painted in blue. Her few accessories are in the greens and blues also.</span></em></div>

<em><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This silly little sailboat also matches the decorative bottles I made my mom for a house warming gift when she moved back to her home in the new house! Without even realizing it at the time, this little sailboat fits right in with moms colors! Even if no one else likes it, my mom would have love it! This sailboat needs to be in that house!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">Makes this sailboat kinda of special now and even more so because the main stick used to create this boat was a stick my little grandson found and played with not letting it out of his site for a week. A memory for me! Blaze and his crazy stick toy inspired this whole thing and now I am missing my mom something aweful again!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Times; font-size: large;">Who knows, maybe this is a little sign from God letting me know that our prayers will be answered. I'll be able to put that little sailboat where it belongs right in that house with my hubby and I being able to buy the house....keeping my parents wishes and dreams to keep this place in the family, and continuing to build memories for our family (my sisters and I) with our families</span></em></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><em><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">First I poured a little modge podge in a small glass bowl, then added a drop at a time mixing with each drop until I got the color I was going for. </span></em><em><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Times;">Pretty how the color swirls as I was mixing. Once I got the color how I wanted it, I poured a little of the mixture in the balls and swirled it around until the whole inside of the ball was coated. I got out four coffee cups and set the balls upside down so the excess would drain out of the inside of the balls and left them for a few hours until they dried. I forgot to take a photo of the balls before I did this, but you all know what a clear glass ball looks like anyway....right?</span></em></span></div>

<em><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here they are with my demijohn knockoffs! I even had a couple of bags full of sand dollars my sister had given me a few years ago that popped into my memory while doing all these, so I got those out and painted a few. I then went hunting for a bowl of shells my kids and I had found at the beach when they were little and laid them all together for a real beachy look. Almost completes my beachy decor theme!
