Bunting!!!

I think that the whole country has gone bunting mad, myself included! I have been stitching some but I can't show you yet as it's not quite finished. That will go up in the next few days. However I found a rather groovy pattern for crocheted bunting! The original is red, white and blue but I didn't happen to have that lying about in 4ply so I just used some scraps I had. I know it's a bit wibbly but I think it would straighten once joined to other pieces. The long loop at the bottom is to put a bead on. This was so easy and such fun that I ordered some 4ply in green, white and cream to make some non festive bunting!! 

Getting in the Mood!

Do you remember I showed you all the bunting I had cut out and stitched for school? Well yesterday we had our "Wedding Craft Morning" and the children got to stamp (with paint) on a piece of bunting. Then in the afternoon I got to thread them all on the string and then we put them up in the school hall. They looked so good and remind me of Tibetan prayer flags.

There were lots of lovely ones but I think this was my favourite done by a child of 9.

This is the whole of it in the hall to give you the idea of it all together. Today the children had a special school picnic lunch, a bit like a Street Party so it made it a bit more special.

I got to keep the spare bits so they are now hung on the front of my house and my husband has made me a flagpole in the back garden with the Union Flag a-flying from it! Tomorrow I shall be watching and in the evening we are having a Wedding Tea so I must get baking....
