I am of an age now where ‘new’ things are the ‘old’ things I used to do when I was young.
Macramé is one of those ‘new’ things. I wanted to hang my orchids outside under our tree for summer. I thought I would macramé my own like I did so many years ago. But…
Having them already made to use quickly changed my mind. At the check-out I asked the clerk (who was about my age) if she ever did macramé. She said yes, she had. She made a plant hanger for her mother that she kept until she died. Isn’t that too sweet?
You know what? Think I’ll go get some materials so my grandkids and I can make a macramé pot hanger together for their mommas!

OMG, what a fun blast from the past, Mitzy! I loved doing macrame in the 70s! Also decopage and those other “lost arts.” Nice job on your plant hangers!
🤣 I know, Terri, same here! But, I didn’t make these I purchased them. 😂 Though I think I’ll try with my g’kids!
That’s amazing they’re even available for purchase. Have a great weekend!
Oh! Th
Oh yes!
🤣 Fun wasn’t it, Carole?
I did macrame too. 🙂 I’ve thought about doing it again but haven’t done it. I have two orchids inside so hanging them from your tree is quite interesting. How much do you water them? Fascinating.
Well, we’ve had so much rain, I’ve watered little. But because water just runs through (no saucer to hold water), I’m pretty generous. I’d say every 2-3 days I give them a cool drink.
I have never done macrame but have wanted to learn – just haven’t gotten around to it. It sounds like a great activity to do with the grandkids.
It is fun, Ruth. Go for easy at first.🤣👍
