Heather, the purple one is my favorite! I redid it 3 times to make it look just like the picture lol.
I finished my beginner mosaic badge! My mind is already wandering trying to figure out what I want to make for my intermediate level.

Thanks everyone.
Jill, I actually found this kit on Amazon. They had a bunch of designs, but I liked the star the best. It came with everything you need to make it. The instructions were a little vague, but I googled any questions I had. The brand is Vaescol.
I applied for my intermediate and expert lost art of letter writing on Wednesday. I still need to apply for my mosaic and macrame badge. I also started on my intermediate macrame last night.

I am in awe of everyone’s creations and completing those ufo’s. I will never catch up but I WILL begin! You’ll be hearing from me soon I hope.

Thanks, Krista. Those kits look like fun. I'll have to add them to my list of things to do.

Jill, they are fun. I think you will enjoy them.
I applied for my beginner level macrame and my beginner mosaic badges over the weekend. I am all caught up on the badges that need to be applied for. Now I am just working on some more. I am almost finished with my intermediate macrame.

My intermediate macrame is done! I made a large coaster to go under my plant on my end table. I am also making another light blue one for my mom and a dark blue for my MIL for Mother's day! I have really fallen in love with macrame.

It's so pretty Krista! Where do you find your patterns? Isn't macrame fun though?

Denise, I found this one on Pinterest. That is actually where I find most of the things I make! Yes, it has been so much fun. I am really enjoying it as a change from crochet. I am able to use all of my hands rather than just my wrists.

I love the color. Teal is my favorite. Where do you find cord small enough to make a coaster?

Love it Krista!!! I'm going to have to look and see if I could find some heart patterns. I really like hearts.

Denise, I purchased my cord from Amazon. This size is 3mm. It's actually not that small. It's about 12 inches from point to point. Once I finish mine ( because I gave mine to my mom since I didn't finish the second before Mother's day) I will take a picture of it under a plant for some comparison.
Shenandoah, your sampler is so pretty!

| Thanks Denise! I’m working on getting the expert level badges I’ve earned so far embroidered and stitched onto my farmgirl tote. Definitely rusty but getting lots of practice! |

Denise, sorry for the delay, but I finally finished my macrame coaster. Here it is under my plant.
I really like how the blue sticks out against the white.
