Leaf Bunting

I posted a little sneak peak to this bunting here last week; it was my oh-so last minute decorating project for our Thanksgiving celebration.

 And thank goodness it was oh-so easy as well!

A couple of scraps of felt leftover from another project (Autumn Gnomes, I think), some ribbon left over from making bath towel loops, a little embroidery thread ... and that was it! And not too tricky either.

I feel like a got this project finished just in time too; Jack Frost and Winter suddenly seem to have made their first appearances here in the Mid-Atlantic area, and leaf bunting is feeling very autumnal!


What are you crafting on this week? Feel free to share in the comments; I'd love to hear from you!

Suncatcher Bunting

I'm not the most crafty person, but I saw this project on The Artful Parent blog and just thought they were so beautiful, and lovely, and relatively easy to make ... and a great way to use up a few of the dozens and dozens of crayons that we seem to have accumulated. My four year old Little Guy and I made these on a recent rainy morning.

I didn't take any pictures of the process (although, to be honest, the photos and directions on The Artful Parent are eminently better than anything I could have done!)

But I did take these pictures of the finished bunting, and I just love them! Honestly, the trickiest part was attaching the ribbon to hang it all up (and I think that speaks more to my sewing skills than anything else!)
