It’s kind of like my version of forcing bulbs to make it feel a bit more springy around the house. I’m ignoring the flurries out side and enjoying the new look on my chairs. I used the coated cotton from Kate Spain’s Central Park for Moda. It will be great to have something on these chairs that will wipe clean so easily.
I made this advent calendar a couple of years ago. I love it, but I’m always at a loss for what to put in it.
Yesterday as I was digging through all the decorations, it hit me, why not a kids tree?
Each day has an ornament that the kids can put on their own little tree, so by Christmas they will have fully decorated tree.
I loved these crazy prints the moment I saw them, especially the rooster…
I cut them into little bricks and pieced them into diagonals. I think the repetition of the diagonals really emphasizes the cool graphics on the fabrics.
Here is what the back looks like
It’s available now in my etsy shop.
I made this bunting for lulu’s fourth birthday.
Actually I made it around 10pm the night before her fourth birthday party. I was in a hurry so I used fabric-tac glue instead of sewing it.
Last year it was blazing hot, so we celebrating inside.
It was quick and easy.
All I did was cut a length of twine to the length I needed and then cut triangles out of my stash fabric. I used pinking shears too keep the fraying of the fabric to a minimum. This year they were hanging outside for a couple of days through wind and rain so the edges have been softened.
I also trimmed the top corners off a bit so they wouldn’t overlap and show from the front. Then I glued them around the twine.
lulu celebrated a birthday this weekend -
there were flowers
there were buntings
there was cake
there were candles
fun was had by all
