Necklace Holder

Items you will need for this project are:
Frame
Fabric and batting large enough to cover the area
Cork
Decorative knobs
Glue Gun
Cut your cork according to the size of your frame opening. Cut 2 layers of batting the same size. Place your batting side on wrong side of  fabric and cut fabric larger than your cork so you can pull the edges around.Pull fabric tightly and glue in place taking special care at the corners.
Make holes in the back of your cork for decorative knobs. Place your knobs through the holes and poke through fabric. You may need to make a slit in your fabric for the knob to fit through. Put your frame back together and enjoy!!!

SPRING BLOOM

 If you've never been thrilled
 To the very edges of your soul
 By a flower in spring bloom,
 Maybe your soul has never been in bloom!
~Audra Foveo~

A Memory Hug

My loss has left a hole in my heart.
That hole never goes away...
I learn to live with it.
With acceptance of the loss
And changes in my life,
The pain lessens.
Eventually memories fill up the space.
But it never goes away.
Then, when I least expect it,
A memory spills out
Of the hole in my heart
And washes me clean again with tears.
I think of it as a "MEMORY HUG'.
