It's all about Christmas. I really wanted to create a few little bits to make the house feel Christmassy but not looking too commercial and so when I saw this tutorial I thought that I would give it a try. Then what to do with the little stars and then I thought garland! I've strung it up across our arch way and tried my best to photograph it but my skills in this area aren't so great.
Now that I've finished my garland I can start on a little project which I first found over at Christina's blog and thought might be fun to try. There are so many things to be inspired by in this wonderful world of blogs.
To be inspired by some crafty people, pop by this lovely place to find what out what everybody has been up to this week.

what a lovely garland, I like how you just used white and red.I might make one of these for hanging under the mantlepiece if I get the time!
ReplyDeleteI love the garland Catherine!! You should sell these, I'd definitely buy one seeing as I'm hopeless at crochet :) I look forward to seeing more of your Christmas crafts, there's so many inspiring ideas around. Enjoy your day lovely xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous garland Catherine. Those felt circle trees look lovely too. I think it looks like a fun project, enjoy : )
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely! Very simple, but stunning.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to meet you Catherine. Love those little stars - will have to start on a few of these I think. Thanks for the link. And thanks also for visiting my blog. So glad it lead me to yours :)
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine,
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, I found some on Royal Sisters along with Christmas trees that I want to make a few of to take down to in-laws for Christmas. I have to wean myself off hexagons to get started though.
Beautful!

SO on the same page, looks great!! Love Posie
ReplyDeleteLove your garland, one of the prettiest xmas decorations I have seen. BTW the booties were a little difficult for me to get as I am still quite new to crochet, but once you figure it out they are really quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteYour stars look fantastic. Delightful.
ReplyDeleteThese garlands are really popular at the moment. So pretty and I agree about the not too commercial look. Great job Chamaine

ReplyDeleteNothing like a crafty garland for any season I say! I have been trying to find some of those cone shapes at Spotlight, but each time I go in they are all sold out! Will have to try again soon. I can't wait to make one of those little trees.
