yesterday I wrote about garlands, banners and bunting over on poppytalk and now I sort of want to drop everything and shift into 24-hour garland-making mode. I mean it. all garlands, all the time. am dangerously close to hanging strings of colorful bits on every possible surface in my house, plus all the barren trees in my neighborhood. am thinking it would not be the worst thing to cover the world with garlands, banners and bunting. especially with ones that have nice things to say.
Was directed over here by Char from Ramblins(awesome woman!) and absulutely LOVE your World here.
ReplyDeleteI will be back when my Tea is made...so I can sit and browse.
Have a great Friday

I loved your post...I ordered the yellow garland you linked to & was sad there was only one available. If I sewed I'd make some of the others you showed :) They seem be the perfect antidote to winter.
ReplyDeletei am nearly convinced that you are the cutest human being alive. keep being an awesome a-dult (if those are even real). you give me hope for a brighter future
ReplyDeleteYay - just got all my scraps of fabric out yesterday to make a garland!!
ReplyDeleteWow - and I -just- saw this cuteness on Craft: - http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/01/how-to_mini_bunting_card.html
ReplyDeletei could not agree more...so enjoyed seeing your post at Poppytalk
ReplyDeletei would love to send you a garland...
Wait do I hear a garland swap coming on???
ReplyDeleteI have garlands hanging in my kids' room and I love them. They make me happy every time I look at them. I also hang garlands for just about every holiday and always for birthdays.
ReplyDeleteI love them too!
That photo is great.

To "A Day That is Dessert" , you don't have to sew to make garlands. I have ones made from paper hanging in my kids' room. Just cut out triangles out of cute paper, hole punch at the top and string. Done! You just have to use heavier weight paper or the edges curl a bit.
ReplyDeleteI have also made garlands out of coasters (they have amazing ones at Rock Scissor Paper) cut letters out of cardboard to make a garland that says something and even used fabric and fabric glue. So don't let the non-sewing hold you back--go for it!

I love this blog ! Nice to meet you !
ReplyDeletePhew, I thought I was the only one to have a secret bunting fetish. I can't stop making them, they make me happy....I confess, I am addicted.
ReplyDeleteI am even making them for Valentine's day, not for me, but for my son (yeah right).
I blogged about them here

ReplyDeleteHula, Have you seen all the sparks you've started? Jeanine, Char, and I, and who knows how many others are loving your listing idea. And joining you. How great are you? Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. And for not minding all the copycats who put their own spin on your brilliant ideas.
