Ribbon Twirlies

I got these embroidery hoops at Goodwill for a song several months ago, intending to learn embroidery. HA!

Now I know what I can really do with them...Make ribbon twirlies!!! A.k.a. "ribbon streamers."

I was inspired by

My Lily Eden

I'm picturing something like this:

Or this!

The one aqua hoop will be perfect with my "new" patio set (pictures to be posted Monday)! I can use all color-coordinated ribbon! It'll be a little wind catcher! I may also have my son and his friend make one at "work." Or maybe I'll just make one for me! :)

FanTABulous quote

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.
