The Knots Have Landed.
Today was one of those productive-but-not days.
First of all, I woke up ridiculously early and eventually realised that I wasn't going to sleep so I might as well get up; which sends my brain into the thought pattern of 'hey, I should be asleep anyway so there's no guilt over firing up the PC...'
Not really an issue, except I started gaming at [too early] AM and didn't return to reality for several hours, when I actually had to keep reminding myself that I was logging out... shh, don't tell anyone ;)
To make up for my faux pas, I spent the remainder of the day working on some unfinished macrame projects that have been hanging around.
Haha get it? hanging around?
Ok, I know, I know... that was a really bad Mum joke but what can I say, I'm a Mum and sometimes I tell bad jokes... ;)
Alright, I'll stop now... promise.
See what lack of sleep and early morning gaming does to me..!
Anyhoo, the first project tackled was a macrame curtain which I started several months ago after finding macrame cord during a clean-up and as if you couldn't tell, I'm not the sort of person to work off a pattern so the design was made up on the fly. Although, at the time, I had no idea how I wanted the bottom half to look so I just left it (dare I say, hanging? lol).
When I re-looked at the curtain today, immediately I could see that it needed some bulk added to the bottom to create a bit of balance and strengthen the diamond pattern.
Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to work I go

My second project was a bright blue plant hanger created with paracord and if you've ever dealt with paracord and you know how easily it twists and how hard it is to untangle, then you will also understand my joy, now the project is finished. That's all I'm saying!
Again, this design was also created as I worked and I'm happy with the final result however, if I do use paracord again, I would certainly choose a smaller cord to give it a finer finish as this size turned out a little too bulky for my liking.
Hehehe... now that I've finished my homework published a post, can I go play my game again?
Pleeeeease?
