FINISHED CHRISTMAS BUNTING, et al

 

Here is my bunting hanging in place...
anchored on my two wrought iron 
candleholders....
I had originally made 11 and it turned out
WAY too long for this spot...
SO I cut if down and now have
four to start a new one for a gift...

I will be leaving this up through Christmas.
๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒ⛄

Here is a long shot of my fireplace 
which is 
just to the left of the dining room and
open to the kitchen area separated
by an eating counter...

I like that the flag with my Grand-mere's crocheted lace
sets in the center of my bunting...

The lovely picture over the fireplace was one of
my mother-in-laws that she received as
a wedding gift...
I just love the soft serenity of it..

***************************
I have switched my little corner 
in my sewing room
from hand sewing projects to
paper crafting for a while;
my hands really are in need 
of a long resting period
after making all these flags 
and also working on
quilting "Sunrise Sunset". 

I will finish the border quilting 
on that quilt..
 on my machine I think...

***************************
Meanwhile, I will be  still sewing my neutral
Ojos blocks on Helga and 
working in my old 
"En Masse" gluebook,
begun in 2023
↓↓↓↓

I am hoping to get it finally finished up...
[I need to make a list of items for
pages that need finishing.]
And....
Here are a few examples of finished pages:
faces

models

umbrellas

and, books
to show you a very few
 examples of my collections...

Such a relaxing way to 
spend an afternoon...
;)))


Hugs on this dark, gray day

  4. Your bunting looks great hanging across your fireplace. So festive! You've made a lot of progress on your journal. I bet it's nice to mix up a few different crafts. Definitely too dark today!

  6. Your bunting is so perfect with the brick of the fireplace. The piece with lace definitely needed the center spot in it.

  7. What a fun place to hang your bunting! I hope to change the house to Christmas this weekend... but the outside bushes need trimming... so the kids can do the outside!

  8. Your bunting looks amazing, Julierose ! I agree the block with your Grandmere's lace should be front and center.- Just precious. It is always so much fun to see your progress on your journals. I have not worked on mine in a spell . Yours is so very special. Have a blessed day. Hugs.

  11. Love that bunting. And it looks fabulous where you have decided to hang it. Way to go! I think you may have inspired me to turn some old crazy quilting round robin blocks into bunting! Thanks for the inspiration!
