New Items in My HAF Shop & a Story

Have you ever gotten a song in your head and just could not get it out? Well...that is exactly what happened to me recently and it has caused me some distress. It isn't a bad song....as a matter of fact...I happen to like it. But...nothing I did would make it go away. I guess you would like to know what the song is...well...it is 'The Yellow Rose of Texas'


                       There's a yellow rose in Texas that I'm gonna see
                       Nobody else could miss her not half as much as me
                       She cried so when I left it was like I broke her heart
                       And if I ever find we never more will part.


Since I couldn't get the song out of my head...I figured maybe I should do something..maybe I was meant to....I don't know....plant a yellow rose.....so I did just that. I have a brand new yellow rose planted in my garden. A pretty little thing she is....but the song didn't go away.

What do you do when you can't get a song out of your head? I really need to know. This was very distressing.

Anyway...I ended up crocheting a Yellow Rose coverlet. This baby is constructed out of 30 - 12 inch squares...which makes it a whopping 5 feet by 6 feet. Just take a look:

And here is a close up of one of the squares.

I just love making these BOHO style bracelets that can be worn individually or stacked together for that really trendy summer look. 

I am sorry that I got so long winded and wrote a book this time....but please leave me a comment and let me know how you handle those songs that get stuck in your head and just won't leave.

Remember.....Buy HANDMADE....each piece is made with LOVE.

    Love the bracelet with the little elephant charm.
