Well, there's always the fourth of July.  I think my straws are 
red and white.  lol

I would like to try one of the belts.

>Hi Carol and all --
>Glad someone is interested in the stars.  If I do the star in 
January,
>you'll just have to invent a holiday to use it for...*smile*

>Question about the macramé:  What would people prefer I do for 
the macramé
>class/classes? --
>There are 2 basic knots that are used heavily in macrame.  I have 
3 belt
>patterns that demonstrate uses of the 2 knots.  In the class I 
need to first
>describe how to tie the knots, which shouldn't take much time.
>Then I can get you started on 1, 2 or 3 belts.  Since the belts 
are
>repetitious, I should be able to get you started on the first few 
inches of
>each belt, or whicher you choose to make.  Then it is your 
responsibility to
>finish the belt/belts you are making after class.

>I could also alternately do a hanging pot holder.  (It has the 
same pattern
>as one of the belts and an extra spiraling knot useful in the 
ropes that
>connect to the hook at the top.  This takes a little longer and 
so I would
>get you started on the top twisted roopes, then on a subsequent 
class, show
>you how to tie the pattern around the pot and possible finish it 
off at the
>end (the bottom).

>Obviously the pot hanger takes 3 or so classes to complete, but 
it is a nice
>piece when it is finished.
>(In case you don't know what I mean by a pot hanger, it is a 
macramé holder
>for a potted plant (like a fern or other house plant that you 
hang from the
>ceiling or even outside.  It is usually made of jute twine.)

>Anyway, let me know and I'll organize something for next year.
>Happy crafting.
