Pretty Things Are Worthwhile

I'm trying a new theory.  Pretty things are worthwhile.  They are worth making and having, even if their only purpose is to be pretty.

I turned a pillowcase into a dress for Isabele's 18 inch doll.  It was fun.  Made some PJ's for the doll that are okay but not great.

I pulled out my tatting stuff and am relearning to tat.

I have to finish Brian's sweater.

I figured out how to make hexagon paper boxes with lids.  Pretty cool.

I have an awesome template I found on pinterest for a paper rose.  I've made quite a few and they are in a cocktail sauce jar in the window.  Pretty.  Just because.

It is hard for me to make things that have no real use.  I have to remind myself that it's okay for the purpose for some things to just be pretty.

So here's to pretty things just because they make me smile.
