Macramé?

LOL! I never tried macramé, thank goodness!

There is, however a strange, itty-bitty tangled web on my kitchen windowsill. It can only be
seen when the sun is shining through the window.

If anything, like a glass, or a can of spray cleaner, or a cooking utensil propped up to dry is
near the web, strands appear between the object and the web.

In a hundred years or so, our whole house will be full of itty bitty spiderwebs.

I think I saw a teeny weeny spider sitting in it, but I didn’t want to disturb the cute little thing,
so I’m not sure.

I’m so happy that I’m not the only person who values spiders. They protect us. Our cats have the sense not to bother them. Yay, spiders!

I tried macrame’ in the ‘80’s, but instead of starting small, I went for the Big Time. I made a Christmas “tree” that I hung from the ceiling. the bottom was nearly 4’ across, and I made a large ceramic Nativity which I placed inside on cotton batting. The late Igor rigged up a blue light inside of a 3# coffee can which couldn’t be seen from the outside of the tree; the result of the lighting on the Nativity was stuning.

For decorations, I made silver glitter stars and used silk rose buds. It made the front page of the local paper. Somewhere, I have the photos, and if I can find them on my hard drive, I will post them. Of course, a gentle reminder would help, if I go too long...I’m still hyper about finally having my interwebs back!
