Some of the women at our church met today at the Overall Company, which is a local coffee shop.  The atmosphere of the shop is so warm and inviting not to mention the chocolate latte and bacon biscuit I had today!  Anyway, we are planning an event and decided on a garden theme.  Ideas were everywhere!  I’m not the kind of person that can think of these great ideas so quickly like other people.  I like to have the meeting and then have time to digest all the information and then start focusing on what I would like to do.

As I was driving home, I kept thinking of an outdoor garden and how could I create some inexpensive projects as part of the decorations.  I came home and went into my craft room and remembered that I had bought some jute a few months back.  I sat down on my sofa and started to think about what I could do with it.

A really good friend of mine gave me a beautiful vase with tulips today, so I decided to make a flower-pot holder for the vase.  I love the jute (although it doesn’t love my hands) and how it turned out.  I’m thinking now maybe I will make a hanging basket!

Any other suggestions for a garden theme?  I would love to hear them.  The event is in March so that doesn’t give me much time, so send any quick projects my way!

God Bless and Happy Crocheting!
