WIP Wednesday 11.19.2025

 Boy, I feel like I am on 'rinse and repeat' cycle. Six more rope bowl candy dishes inching towards the finish line with the 7th one coiled for the start. My goal is to make 10 red with green accent rope bowl candy dishes. I hope to have them finished before Thanksgiving so I am all prepped for the December 10th Howell MelonHeads Christmas party. :)

In other party news, I wrapped all 65 sets of silverware! I want to put the silverware at every place setting so it won't need to be carried...I don't have any pockets so I usually struggle with 'where' to put my silverware while filling my plate. :) Our theme is 'Santa Claus is coming to town!' so I pulled out my card stock, Stampin' Up punches, red/white twine and a 'Merry Christmas' stamp. The idea came form Pinterest but the one on the board was stamped with 'HoHoHo'.

Your bowls are looking good! And fun idea for the silverware, too. Anything to make the potluck run a little more smoothly, right?!

Any party with Melonheads in the title has got to be so much fun! Love your napkins and those beautiful rope bowls. Looks like you'll have them finished in no time. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I've never made those rope bowls, i certainly admire them but they look a bit too tricky for me. I was gifted a lovely rope basket last year, and I appreciate all the work which went into it. Did I miss something, what do you need 65 wrapped sets of cutlery for?

the rope bowls are so pretty! Nice work getting them done. The silverware all wrapped up is such a nice touch!
