I promised to show you my completed macrame project – here it is.
Not bad for a first attempt, I’m quite pleased with it and, most importantly, it does the job I needed it for.
It actually didn’t take long at all, in one evening it was complete even though I had to go back and re-do bits a couple of times.
Now that I know what I’m doing it is tempting to make some more. Making things is so satisfying and if they don’t take long then that’s a bonus in my life at the moment! The problem is I don’t think I really need any more. And I already have a whole lot of other projects I want to get to – building swift nest-boxes for example, and making new curtains for the kitchen. But those are not things I can do quietly while chatting to the others or watching something together.
Do you like to do things with your hands or are you happy without anything?

I think you did an outstanding job on the plant hanger. It looks really nice. I used to do all kinds of crafts and needlework; but the arthritis in my hands is too bad. Have a good day.

I love to do things with my hands. It's therapeutic and so healing. In fact I am always involved with some or the other handmade projects. I have done a few plant hangers with Macrame and donated it to the school where I work. I did it as a part of curriculum and involved few special needs and few regular children with me.
This plant hanger looks so good. Very good for a first attempt

Amazing work! 
It looks pretty, sturdy, and I like the colors that were chosen as well.
I've been thinking of stuff I'd make when I was a kid. Back then I definitely enjoyed crafting... now I lack the space, the room, the time and other excuses.

Your plant hanger came out really nice. I also like to do things with my hands (crocheting mostly).

I used to have some macrame hangers I had made. But then I could not find the kind of material I liked (the one that you used). So I haven´t done that for some years.
