Saint Monica Bar Decoration

A friend of mine, who is an atheist, thought it would be wonderfully (in)appropriate to have the patron saint of alcoholics symbolically watching over his home bar.

I had everything but the medal in stash. So, here is a simple mini wall hanging for my favorite drinking buddies.

This is pretty fun! Tell me, is the plaid from a school uniform? :thinking: :rofl:

No, just some plaid cotton fabric I got in a little FQ bundle at JoAnn’s. But, that would have been hilarious, and I wish I’d have thought of that. I have a little pile of plaid scraps sitting right there next to my sewing table.

Cool!

Tell me more about the red blob and glass ball. A holy relic of St. M?

That didn’t photograph well. It’s the last of the whiskey…a tiny glass bottle with an amber drop bead (kind of looks like a drop of whiskey) that’s attached to an eye pin that goes through the cork. And I used sealing wax to seal the bottle.
