coming up for air after a week of being sick, i wanted to make something. i was inspired by jessica's ten days of garlands and a big stack of newspapers that were accumulating in the big round basket. we've always got paint around and plenty of thread, so sabin and i painted up some newspaper and punched out circles and i sewed and sewed. my garland is a little long (like about 20 meters) and a bit tangled, as molly "helped" me hang it up above my desk. but it's cheery and makes me happy. with the blues and greens i used, some of the circles have a decidedly globe-like quality, which also makes me happy. this photo of sabin painting her newspaper in fiery orange and red, you guessed it...makes me happy.
what made you happy this weekend?

oh my goodness! I love them...and how you did it! i painted up a new batch of newspaper today using greens with a tough of purple and yellow orange. i'm thinking more circles in my future! thank you for sharing!
Love it! I have a garland making project I have been pushing aside for literally almost a year! I think I may have been inspired to pull it out and play! Thank you for this post and the link I will be headed to next. ;)
Those are fantastically fantastic! Make more, fill the whole house! :)
