The berry cap

Hey.  How the hell are you?  We're cold and wet in PA, have been and will continue to be. 

 

I finally lost 3#.  It's a start.  The most important thing is - I didn't gain which I have been doing for some time.  There isn't ONE pair of spring pants or capris that fit me except for the stretchy Karen Scott that I showed a few posts back.  I must do something and am truly trying.  As for the chocolate, my heartburn has decreased with the reduction.  But the other day, there it was.  The basement door was open and the light was on.  My husband always leaves lights on wherever he's been but I ignored that fact.  To me, it was a sign, beckoning me to go down those stairs.  Door open, a guiding light to prevent another fall, it was fate.  I saw the light.  That light leads to where I keep the chocolate.  I thought making a trip up and down the stairs would deter me but over the years, I just wore out the carpeting.  It was a sign.  I went, I ate, I enjoyed, I took a Tums.

 

Now for the berry top.  Seems many of you have been looking for a metal top for fabric strawberries. 

Here's mine.  Very sturdy, no bending at all, lots of photos to give you an idea of size. 

I pinned it to the top of a wool berry that was finished with the calyx (or leaves) top so it looks a little odd but is about the right size.  They are not in stock but she will email me when she gets replenished, and I will post the source at that time.  I would still like to see a larger size.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like the heft and the design.   This berry is a little over 3" long and thin.  The bell caps and bead caps I've seen are way too small, even for this size berry. 

 

So if anyone is interested, I will post as soon as they are available and you can order from her.

 

I still prefer topping my berries with chocolate.

 

 

Have a good one!!
