I got 3 4 5 6 of these done this weekend. All are with copper wire. The rings are 16 or 20 guage and the branches are I think 26 maybe? I will have to look at the package if I still have it.

Hurrah the weekend is here, and I just now got a project done for a swap I am now officially a day late for. I have to go in to work tomrrow night for the maintenance window and to try and get caught up on things. Wish me luck.

And I bought the best pillow ever tonight…about to go and use it.

Oh yes, and I spent way to much at JoAnns…wheeee…but hey $35 value remnant of quilted decor fabric for $8!! Heck yes.

New Tags!

Woo hoo I made new tags. I think these are a lot less busy than the others I had made, thought they are a little larger. These are iron-ons onto white hem facing. Another sheet will need to be printed for direct iron on to stuff.
