I don't know if I really like this?? Either way here it is and I tried it out. It was fun making it, well kind of. The yarn was super annoying!! It kept getting all knotted up. It's funny because at first when I was making it, I was getting really excited and was really liking it and then at the very end I was starting to kind of hate it. I was even considering throwing it in the trash. It's funny because it reminds me of my Mom and how she felt about her tole painting when she first began doing it. She took one look at her work and thought "All of this is trash!" She even considered throwing all of it away and decided to give it one more night, to think it over. It's a good thing she changed her mind!! Because she is so talented and has made some amazing things :) Thank you Tip junkie for giving me the idea.
