Do you buy coils of a hundred stamps for your Christmas cards? We are a bit behind this year because we got a late start and then we were on the road for 8 days.
Anyway, back to my break. I took a break because well, I was going a bit cross eyed. Remember this tear sheet? Well, before we left, I ordered the punch to make this circles, and while we were downstate, my sister gave me a couple of old books. I made a quick stop in Holland to get some funky paper, and yesterday, while listening to two old episodes of This American Life, I sewed these together.
Noah had his opinion too. He thinks they need to not be as droopy. I am wondering if it would be better just over my window in from of my desk. Too many art directors, I am afraid!
Anyway, they are up. And we will live with it for a while to see what we like. If we can all come to a conclusion.

i think a break was a good idea ;) and the paper garland thing is really cute. i like the idea!
ReplyDeleteoh...and i really like knit picks, too. i got that purple yarn for a couple bucks, i think.
I choose Elliot's reaction :) It looks great and glad you got a break!
ReplyDeleteCrafting is always so much more fun than work! The garland turned out great, are the pieces of paper sewn together with a sewing machine?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love This American Life - there is an entire series of NPR podcasts that are essential on my iPod! :)
Kate, yep, sewn with a machine, but you could totally do it with a needle and thread. It would look very cute in your room in the Peruvian Highlands!
ReplyDeleteHow did you sew it together? I mean, I know with a sewing machine...I need details :o) They look cool!
ReplyDeleteJenney, just set your stitch length to the longest, and just sew them. One after the other until it's as long as you want. Easier than pie!
