Tassels
I love projects. My most recent endeavor was the tassel. Although most tassels are drowning in adornment—perhaps a bit overindulged—I like them a bit rustic and simple. I was inspired by Martha Stewart’s Living’s spread on tassels in the most recent August issue. My third try was the charm. After trouble-shooting a few issues left unexplained by “Martha” and others, I am contented with the framework of the basic outcome. Now, I can begin with alliterations—beads, different threads, and color combinations! I have learned in the process that practically any thread, yarn, or fiber can be used to make them. With a little innovation, a crochet hook, and, perhaps, a needle, they are ready to hang from your favorite lamp. 
Perfect! Love the mustard color (somebody's favorite:)) and the accent thread left hanging. Hmmm, I might have to give it a try too. The lamp is gorgeous and the tassel adds that little punch of color it needed. Nice!
