I finished the vegetable homemade wall hanging finally and I like it. A lot of times, by the time I get done, it’s just sort of meh. But this one I like. Click on “homemade table runners and wall hangings” on the right and go to a picture, if you’d like.
The beads were interesting. I went through a lot more than I expected I would and it took longer than I expected, but I’ve never done anything like that before. And the beads are glass so this particular wall hanging will have to be handled a lot more carefully than I’m accustomed to: no machine wash and dry for this one! Then again, my homemade wall hangings just sort of… hang there. Aside from brushing off some dust from time to time, they really don’t get dirty. It’s not like a bed quilt that does need to be washed from time to time.
It does help wall hangings last longer, I think — not needing to be washed and dried. My homemade table runners and wall hangings are part of my legacy, in a way. They’ll last years and years longer than I will, with the proper care. Although I suppose I’ll last years and years with the proper care.
