Linda bought a new piece of jewelry, a charming lizard pin.
Her friend saw it and bought her a second lizard
and the ball started rolling.
Now there are lizards on Linda's walls and framing her door.
She even has a new lizard nightgown.
It seems everyone has a collection.
Mine seems to be rickrack.
I started like so many others with a package or two in my sewing studio.
Then my mother cleaned out her sewing area and gave me a good supply.
Hoping to use it and not store it, I incorporated it into some projects.
There it is,
the suggestion that I love rickrack.
I'm not saying that I don't.
It has a certain appeal to me.
But, the ball is now rolling.
My sister, knowing that I found uses for rickrack gave me a box full.
Maybe I shouldn't have used any of it, but I did
and now received a bag full from a friend.
It is growing on me.
Perhaps soon they will be calling me the Queen of Rickrack.
i remember rickrack! in high school i sewed some to the bottom of my bell sleeved hot orange blouse, i was a home EC major after all.
ReplyDeletewow, you have a fine collection going! i imagine sewing strips together somehow like we do with those selvages and then making some thing...else!
