DIY Lace Flag Garland for baby's room ...

DIY Lace Flag Garland.. a great addition to a nursery!

Pin It

Depending on the length of the garland, cut as many triangle pieces as you want. I cut 12 to make a little over a meter of the garland.

Now you attach the triangles pieces to the string. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can handsew each triangle. If you are using a sewing machine, use the piping foot.



Now all you need to do is hang it up in thep erfect place.... it's that easy!

Thanks for tuning in ...I'm always on the look out for great DIY ideas!

And the fun continues ..

Here we are, March 6th ..the day I get a call from the realtor letting us know that the closing date on our new home is on March 11th (MONDAY!!). 

I am excited ... and I'm also stunned because the reality of how much work this is going to be.  I will definitely be covered from head to toe in paint before this next month comes to a close... I'll probably have 50 bruises and scrapes, possibly some colored hair (from the paint!)...and exhaustion, total exhaustion.  It's going to be a long road/haul but it will be worth it.  Finally, there will be bittersweet moments.  The moment when we say goodbye to a home we have share so many memories in.  A home we brought babies home to .. a home we shed tears in, a home we filled with laughter and joy.  A home that truly means so much to us but one we ran out of room in.  Ironically, the new house we bought is almost identical in layout ... I suppose that's why we fell in love with it... it reminded us of "home".  It's easy to find a house but it's difficult to find a "home".  I will miss this little love shack!

Due to the fact that I will be moving, I will not be taking custom orders until we get settled in to the new home.  The good news is, I will FINALLY have a craft room.  I could hardly contain myself when I realized that there was enough rooms in the house for me to have a craft room... I am in heaven! I will have so much more room to create and be creative.  I will also have enough room to be able to display my work for those who stop by to pick up a gift for a baby shower, a gift for a friend's baby or a gift for their own little angel.  I absolutely love when customers drop by my home...it's so nice to get to meet my customers (most become friends!).  So if you ever want to drop by to see what I have on hand, please just let me know and do stop by ... you'll feel right at home :0).   I will announce when I can start taking custom orders again.. and in the meantime, there will be moments when I sit to take a break and do what I love (crochet, knit and sew!) so there will still be new items available for sale throughout the coming weeks.

I'm already starting to think about next Winter.  This past year I did my first annual "Cheer for Children" fund where I saught out a family with children that had fallen on hard times and I went to Sioux Falls and purchased toys for all of the children to give them (annoymously) at Christmas.  I had a couple of my customers donate money to the fund as well (THANK YOU, you made a difference in their lives!)!  I'm hoping to make that a bigger deal this year and am hoping to bring in more donations so WE can bring cheer to more children this Christmas.  If we can get this off the ground a little better this year, I will be looking for a few elves to go shopping with me this year to help buy the gifts!  I can assure you that the experience of buying gifts for kids in need is a feeling you will never forget .. the joy it brings will fill your heart, guaranteed.  This past year I purchased gifts for 4 children who had lost their mom to cancer last Fall... I was heartbroken when I heard their story and just could not imagine how those kids were feeling and I knew that even if I couldnt make a big difference, I had to at least try to make A difference.  So keep an eye out... I'll probably start campaigning for that around June! :)

Well, I suppose I better get going so I can pack.  I promise that once I'm all settled in to my new home, I'll have a few giveaways to celebrate!!   Thanks for tuning in ...

Be well!
