Yeah, I kind of scored big time at Mr Bo's yesterday. Think, THIRTY ties...
Here's the story;
My first visit to Mr Bo. Jumbles I decided to not get any ties, seeing as how they had a big huge bin of them. I figured it would be safe to wait until the next time I visited. Then, on my next visit, I looked for any sign of the tie bin and found none! Not even one tie was left! We are talking about 100's of ties here folks. So, I decided that the next time I saw some there, I'd buy all the ones I liked. Hence 30 ties!
Now, what to do with so many ties.
Hope wants a tie skirt.
I've seen tie quilts.
I'll definately make some buttons out of the good quality silk tie fabric, but what else is there to so with them?
I could become a tie monster...
Yeah, that does look like fun...

I made an apron for a friend out of her hubby's old ties - so cute!
I have never heard of a tie skirt!
I adore the tie skirt idea! I think you should make one for each girl!!! huggs Marion (PS I'm praying your little gift arrives this wk)))
Love all of the tie ideas especially the quilt... Looking forward to seeing what you create with your 30 ties..

have you read
"Daddy's Ties" by Shirley Botsford - has ooodles of ideas - lucky you to be able to find them -- they are at least 1-2$$ at our thrift stores... to much to experiment with!
as to your dilemma, my own gut reaction would be do the hysterectomy (there are ooddles & oodles of children needing homes if you need to nurture another) but only one you! & monitor the other
what ever you decide to do - hang in there..

Hi hun, I'm so jealous of your buy...I've only just recently started collecting ties to make a few bags for presents....here's a pattern link for bags if you think you might like something different to make with them.
