When I made the 2nd witch wreath on Monday, I also whipped up this Halloween bunting with scraps and fat quarters I’ve accumulated.
I haven’t got any pumpkins yet, but I’m working on it.

Finally! I’ve finally been able to stop racing around in a stressed out streak of polka dots and curly hair long enough to begin a new project. After making Annie’s bunting I’d decided it was so easy and cool that I would make some for any festivities we held in the future. So here it is, 6 days away from our School’s Out for Summer party. And I started the bunting today, matching the navy and aqua color scheme of my planned dessert table.
We’re back from the sheep shearing festival, which was excellent. I’ll post more on that tomorrow, but I will say there were 2 disappointments in a sea of happiness. 1-There was no actual pig roast, they just had trays of meat for sandwiches and stuff. 2-I couldn’t buy any yarn that had spun from their wool. It was just a demonstration, and I’d hoped she made yarn for them all the time and would have some pre-spun and -dyed stuff for sale while she showed us the tricks. Otherwise, I had a blast.

The bunting I promised my neighbor Annie for Paint the Town Pink week is finished. And I love it so much, I told Adam to be prepared for homemade bunting strung from every possible surface at all our parties from now on. Seriously, it was a breeze to cut out thanks to the Purl Bee’s tutorial, and I was able to use up tons of scrap fabric and fat quarters that had been growing dust in my stash for a while. Tomorrow afternoon people are officially gathering for the “pinking” of Annie’s house, and I can’t wait to see this bunting up there.
My neighbor Annie is participating in our town’s Paint the Town Pink event for breast cancer awareness. She’s obsessed with pink, she’s even painted her entire porch bright pink. So I volunteered to make some bunting that she can hang from her porch for this Saturday’s judging. I’ve had more than a week to get started, but I just got rolling cutting out the fabrics last night. I’m now seeing the lack of wisdom here, since I have a lot of porch to cover and not many days left to do it. The judging is Saturday, so really I need to get this to her by Friday so she can hang it up. We’ll see how I do, I haven’t even started sewing it yet. I’m using The Purl Bee’s Party Garland as the pattern. I’ve cut out several more fabrics since this photo, but I’m not having great luck with my photo software today. I’ll update more as I get closer to finishing.
