Welcome Friends! Today I am starting a new weekly topic called, "Yes You Can"! This is going to be about fun stuff that you can do yourself. So even if I can't be with you at home, I can encourage you to try new stuff here. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. I saw this cool idea on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens earlier this summer. Rope covered vases -- I loved them and new I had to try it.

To make rope vases - use heavy twine - mine was purchased at Lowe's. For mine I used vases with skinny necks that I bought at a second hand store. Start twine at bottom of vase - using hot glue start wrapping vase with twine close together - add glue as needed. I was surprised how much twine it took so maybe buy an extra spool just in case.
Tin container with gravel holds a collection of various candles and votive's. I think these candles would shine really cool at night against the tin. Lemonaide at dusk anyone?
Fun Amy! I'm so excited about your new 'adventure'! And thanks for always saying to me, "Yes, you can!" when I feel overwhelmed and 'undertalented' with new projects! Inspire and encourage...that's YOU! Love you...
