I thought I'd add this photo of the completed "Leaves" needlework. I told you all how it was made in a previous post, but that was before I made the cording to hang it with. This has the handmade cording on the top too.

I was going to buy something to hang it from, but it was cheaper to make my own cording. I used embroidery floss and gold cord. I wrapped it about 4 lengths, and tied it around a chair. Then tied the other end to the beater of an electric mixer, turned the mixer on and let it ply the threads. When it seemed tight enough, I released the beater from the mixer and, with my other hand, found the center of the length of threads and kept tight tension as I brought the beater closer to the chair, plying the thread as it went. In the end I had this lovely cord!
