Remember yesterday when I said this beading thing could be addictive? Well, here is another beaded project. Originally the flower was supposed to be pink but the yellow seemed to work better. For now it is attached to a headband but that may change to a brooch. While I was photographing the subject of this post, it reminded me of a cruise that we went on. The ship was the Carnival Conquest and until we got aboard the ship, I was unaware that the decor was all impressionist artist influenced. Just wandering around and looking at the decor was like being in a floating gallery. Why this post reminds me of the cruise, the gigantic sunflower in this atrium! Here is a picture of it. Yes, another item influenced by Van Gogh, go figure.
Hello! Today I have a simple idea for you. I got this set of candle holders around Christmas time for $5.00. Originally they were going to be a gift, but I couldn't decide who to give them to. They sat collecting dust on a table until today. 
Sometimes a light bulb goes off in your head and a creative project is born. I grabbed my bin of yarn and started wrapping the candle holders. I used a bit of glue to secure the ends and also throughout the project. There was plenty of yarn to wrap all three the same, but a variety of colors sounded appealing to me. This is definitely a craft that anyone could do. These candle holders were made for the larger pillar candle but because of the size you could also use them as plate stands or you could display any number of objects on top. I have mentioned this in the past, just because something is made for a certain purpose doesn't mean that that is all you can use it for. That's where creativity comes in.
