It has been way too long since I last posted!!
We had company for the past two weeks and that made it difficult to find time to create and blog.
We are now back in our normal routine and I'm really looking forward to working on some projects and catching up on what you all have been up to.
The first project I wanted to work on was a banner that I'm linking to the Saturday Nite Special party hosted by Donna @ Funky Junk Interiors. The theme for tonight's party is Banners/Pennants/Buntings and the rusty horse harness parts I found a few weeks ago were going to come in handy for this project.
This wonderful box of rusty horse harness pieces set me back $5.00.
For this project I used two of these hooks.
Two round pieces.
And two rectangular pieces.
I used red ribbon to attach the pieces together.
And then cut some corrugated cardboard to use as the base for the banner lettering.
I printed the word "JOY" on sheet music and glued it on the cardboard pieces.
I didn't have a spot for it in the house so I hung it on the back of my wood theater seats to get pictures.
I'm kind of liking it there and think I may just have found it's spot for the holidays.
On another note.....things are going very well at the booth. I have been taking things in daily and it finally looks almost like the vision I had in my head. I haven't taken any pictures yet but I promise to get some posted soon.
Thanks for stopping by! I promise I'll be posting a lot more frequently!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Jane
