I wish I could do a Windsor knot…
Wine gift bag made from a boys shirt sleeve by yours truly.

As I said in the previous post…I had a garage sale. One of my neighbors brought up a gigantic fish bowl full of corks they had saved over the years to put on the sale. My mind started whirling right away. I knew I could make something from both the corks and the fish bowl.
I had to buy it.
This afternoon my girl and I went to work. I brought out an old frame I had in the storage room. I set her to work painting the backing black while I applied some crackle glaze to the wood frame. We were in the sun so everything was drying super quick. I had my girl squeeze 4 nearly empty jars of burgundy craft paint into a yogurt cup while I cleaned my brush. The crackle turned out quite well. Not so much crackled as just distressed…which is perfectly fine with me.
After I’d finished I called up yet another neighbor to come over and check out my handy work when…
We turned around and this is what we saw in the neighboring yard. She looked so thin…either it’s a yearling that lost it’s spots or a doe with young fawns?!? still nursing maybe? I’m just speculating but it was so odd to see in the middle of the day…lawn mowers buzzing all around. Beautiful but odd.
As soon as I finished Wine 2.0 I just knew it wasn’t going to work for me. We’ve used it a bit anyway since I’d put so much time and effort into the piece.

I’m sure this one is going to work really well for our journal.
It is an old 3-ring binder cookbook with a dozen dividers so we can arrange and rearrange our labels and notes as much as we want.
We even have a “black listed” section for truly awful wines. Ones that under no circumstance do we ever want to have again.
