Be Still

This is my VERY over grown Chocolate Vine

I decided to go out and take a shot at trimming it.

I took it down about a 1/3" and it is just starting to fill

in just in time for spring.....

You can see in the picture how the canes grow and twist around.

While I was trimming it I could see all the twisted canes.

Of course my creative brain went,  oooohhh, I could

make something with these canes.

I ended up making these crosses, similar to ones I made last year.

It didn't take much to create this outdoor beauty!

I took two pieces of the vine and using a very light jute thread I just threaded it on through.

I made a few of these and handed them out to neighbors to lift their spirits.

I truly love creating things from things I find in the yard, etc.

It's comforting reading this......
