Just a few things to share...
I am making a Birthday Banner for the party and thought I would share how I did it.
-Cut 14 5"x5" squares out of scrap fabric
I found 3 yards of wide bias tape to connect them all together.
-Pin the top part of each square into the bias tape
-sew it along the top
-I am going to paint the HAPPY BIRTHDAY letters on the squares as soon as the baby wakes up, and I can get to my paint and brushes. But, you may have to wait until the party pictures to see the banner in action :)
The teacup fairy houses are coming along so much nicer than I thought. I was so worried the grass would never grow. Here is where I got the original idea. She used the teacups as pretty little place cards, but I am using them as fairy homes. Now that the grass is growing, I just need to make the fairy babies I have been attempting (see previous posts with weird pictures hahaha), and collect sticks, bark, acorns, leaves, and such for the littles to 'decorate' them with.
Here's a few pics of them... I hope to do a how-to/tutorial for the banner and teacups (with much better photos!) after things settle down some... if they settle down ;)
I ALSO made an imperfect table cover... I didn't think I would get it done today but the kids were wonderful and Arwen took a nice long nap! I used 18x22 inch rectangles out of some quilting packs my Ma had given me and cut the rest from scraps I was handed down. The trim took the longest... I made it myself. Not a hard thing to do but it is SO time consuming.
Here's a few pics. If you want to make one too, I can help. Just ask... no time for a tutorial right now... hopefully soon :) Please forgive the mess. I haven't cleaned in a bit, there is laundry to be done, and the kids have trashed the place. If I had a picnic table, I'd place it nicely on there and take beautiful pictures outside. I don't, so the living room/playroom floor has to do for now.
