My poor, little Etsy shop has been sitting empty for quite some time now. I would love to be able to blame it on the pregnancy (I’m too tired! I’m too sick!), but it’s really been that I haven’t had any unique ideas of items to add to the shop. THAT I will blame on my pregnancy brain, y’all.
Anyway, when I had some time to relax and unwind after Blissdom, I came up with an idea that I thought was too fun to not further explore. That idea went through many reincarnations, but it eventually ended up as this:

Dream
I have quite a variety of the new tassels listed in my Etsy shop right now, made out of both vintage books and vintage hymnals. I’m kind of obsessed with them (I think my husband is scared of me and my craft room right now – he knows better than to set foot in there right now), so there are certainly more to come over the next few days.
I’m annoyingly proud of how they’ve turned out, so I just *had* to share with you guys. Thanks for letting me show off my new creations to you!

Does anyone have any great DIY projects lined up this weekend? I have a few projects I’d like to tackle now that the weather has turned nice. Can you say mirrored dresser? I’m sure that it will rain now that I’ve mentioned it.
Have a great weekend!
Those are adorable! Nicely done. Can't wait to finish my home office – I am turning one section into a craft/sewing station….you keep me wanting to use my hot glue!
i knew there was a reason to save odd scraps!
very lovely!
oh my…those are just darling. i love the vintage feel! very creative and resourceful!
These are great! I love the dream one. Hope you're feeling better soon
Very cute!
My project for this weekend will be organizing the office closet.
Too perfect for words. Great job
They are all lovely but the "tasty" one made me think of a "baby" theme too if it were a baby spoon etc. (First grandchild due in July so I'm thinking "baby".)
Those are TOO CUTE!! Can't wait to see your version of the mirrored dresser!!! I want to copy it of course. lololol..
This weekend I am picking paint to paint my cabinets…yes I am going to dare..

Maybe I've been under a rock, but I didn't know you were pregnant – congratulations!! And I love these "tassles" – such a creative idea!
A vintage inspired tassel! What a wonderful idea! Love it!
I like "Dream" the best…very pretty!! I finished up my drop cloth mistreatments this morning, and I am loving (!!) them.
Oh, I love these, Lindsay! What a unique and pretty idea!
I just posted a tutorial on my "lazified" version of your fabulous book wreath. I linked to you and included a photo of your wreath in my post. Hope that's OK!

Very pretty!
This weekend I am working on a sundress for my upcoming FL trip, and some cloth snack bags.
That is just too cute
Very cute. I'm working on deciding where to place a new mirror and perhaps putting some poly on the newly repainted coffee table.
Does trying to figure out how to make a great banner for my blog count?
I love your new ideas!

I "hearted" the dream one just the other day! How funny… I didn't even look at who's shop it was
oh how lovely!!
I love these!! You are so talented ~
I love these because they look great and they look like tassels I could make. I do not sew, but I can cut paper and put things together. Thanks for sharing your ideas; you are majorly creative.
I just love those book page tassels…heading over to your Etsy store to check more out…
Blessings, Grace
Very clever! My brain does not even go there!
