handcrafted christmas decorations

a few of the little odds and ends i made to decorate the house this christmas season.

playing card garland

with old book pages as circles between the cards

very festive in red and white

an uno garland

my tinsel wreath! all supplies purchased at the local goodwill for 5 dollars.

feels like i have too many projects going on. pennant banner for finn's room is still on hold due to an unexpected wreath project. as if that wasn't enough, i've started making decorations for christmas. last year i started them too late and never finished but this year i have vowed to get the garlands for the christmas tree done on time!

books that are just itching to become paper garlands

stage 1 of transformation 

unexpected wreath project has been finished and in quite a timely manner i might add. i now have a wreath for my door and one for a friend's.

now to commence another wreath for a good friend's birthday. i must say it feels lovely to keep my hands busy and my mind focused. if i continue at this dizzying pace you will be home before i know it my love. only days before our directions converge in to one straight line.
