An Entertainment of 6's

I've been tagged, by Teresa otherwise Blissfully known as Aunt T. This one is fun and easy and quick.
1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder, then pick the 6th picture in that folder.
3. Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture.
4. Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.


These were fun -- it was my first forray into absolute nonsense. (Despite my being a big fan of nonsense, mind you, I don't often allow myself to indulge for no reason... it's German or midwestern or just a character flaw on my part that I am trying to shake.)

I was learning to make ribbon flowers, figuring out which type of ribbon works best, though I had no idea what I'd do with them. At about the same time I acquired dozens of buttons and yards and yards and yards of vintage seam binding from the stash of my boyfriend's mom. Trust me, Hell will freeze over before I ever bind a seam. Being a "No-nonsense" type is not the same as being a "stickler". Besides this seam binding is too pretty to hide -- it needs to come out in the open and shine, shine, shine. So there we go - by combining the two, the lengths of cheery seam binding with all the lovely ribbon poppies I could end up with bracelets and chokers. This photo depicts the bracelets -- I like them quite a lot.

Now I am going to tag 6:

Those are wonderful. Pure nonsense creations are the very best. I completely agree about the seam binding. Thanks for the tag :)
