and I scoured my son's room for small heavy things to put inside.
When my husband first asked me for an idea about how to keep the tablecloth for the Butterbean festival from blowing away, I thought back and remembered seeing this on Pinterest a long time ago: No directions, so I googled it and came up with these instructions: I don't have rocks. I don't have clips. I do have plastic easter eggs like the first picture, and I scoured my son's room for small heavy things to put inside. The easter eggs I used as a word game when my son was in kindergarten. Most cars were too big, but I did manage to find four short ones. Next I took some material I was given (actually, they were dry clean only capri pants, but I don't wear pants, so I had no qualms cutting them up for this project). I cut four squares and hemmed the edges. I wrapped a square around an egg and sewed the corners together. I found some old ribbon that was super long, so I cut it into fourths. I took one length of ribbon and wound it through the attached corners. I tied the ribbon at the top and ta-da! Here they are doing their job. I tied the corner of the tablecloth around the ribbon.

Who am I, you ask?
In 2006 I had a stroke, and every day my husband encourages me to use my remaining brain cells to the best of my ability. I love to organize, make crafts, and go on adventures (safe ones). I hope that through my blog posts, you will be encouraged to accept and make the best of challenges God throws at your life. Categories
