Le Petit Bunting...

good morning!

ever since i've browsed other blogs,

just lurking in the shadows shyly...

i have been intrigued with bunting.

bright and beautiful,

shabby chic and dreamy...

tiny or not,

inside or wrapped around trees.

yesterday

i was just wondering

if

i could make some too.

so i came up with this...

i happened to have some of this...

you may remember

i used these strips in a cushion last month.

they were originally strips that miss b had sewn together

and given to me.

then i used some in the 'love' cushions,

and i had about four strips left over.

i chopped them into these.

then chopped up some purple polycotton to back them with.

then i sewed some onto some aqua craft ribbon.

different lengths and patterns

that i joined together

and some got sewn onto a brown ribbon

that was lying around

in my box of tricks.

for a first go

i'm happy with them...

i'm not sure what to do with them though,

i might give them away...

next week

if i can figure out how!

thank God it's friday.

mr w is coming home for a long weekend,

miss b is coming home tomorrow too!

{i've had a pesky sore knee all week

and made myself a support bandage

out of light green knit ribbed stuff

that was lying around...hehehe

i wouldn't dare show you

for all the tea in china!}

though next week

i might thrill you

with a look at that seventies style pillowcase

i've been hiding from ya...

just so you can have a good laugh

at my expense!  lol

have a very merry weekend,

full of laughter and joy...
