I made this little garland to coordinate with my two nephews’ room. My sister in law chose the perfect colours for her little boys. She has a cute blog which specializes on sewing tutorials, drop by and say hello for me.
You can easily see from this picture some of the plane’s detail. I thought it would be great for them to hang their drawings or some photos.
They look so precious in person and make a perfect addition to their room. These would also be great for Independence Day don’t you think?
I had my long weekend last week and now It’s your turn! I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing one. I can’t wait to read all about it.
I will also have some really cool things to share with you so I hope you come back to visit me soon.
much love,
Lucy
p.s. I wrote this as an after thought…
Have you ever had a project that you were very protective of and you felt a little selfish about? Well, this is it for me. Not because I think it is grand and amazing; but for some reason I have an attachment to it and have hesitated posting it for fear of it being reproduced and having someone else take the credit for it. I am sure some of you can relate…right???? Please forgive me if I sound selfish by writing these words. I hope you know that I truly want my blog to be inspiring to you and that’s why I share all my ideas.
Wonderful! You never cease to amaze me with all of your great talent. What an awesome gift.
Lucy these are adorable! My 2 year old’s room is “American Heroes” theme. My husband is a US Marine and my son is obsessed w/ cars, planes and firetrucks so I figured the them would be perfect for him. I love what you did with this garland and the little planes. If I ever do make something like this, I will be sure to give full credit to you on my blog 🙂 I know what you mean!
You are a talented woman! These are precious and you should feel protective over something you love! Thanks for sharing!
these are incredible lucy! im sure they look outstanding in the boys’ room 🙂 and i understand you about “being protective” over a project–i’ve definitely been there..this is just another reason why you are such a wonderful, giving person..you shared this with us!! how amazing is that?! THANK YOU 🙂

What an amazing garland you made. Love it! Thank you for visiting my blog today. Wishing you a great weekend! Amy
Lucy- That is an amazing garland. You know why you are so protective of it? It is not because you are selfish (because I know you’re not)…it is because you made that from your heart and it is a gift of love…and NOTHING less than that should go into the making of it. Yes, others will probably try to copy it because that is just the way people are – but-YOURS…well, yours in THE ORIGINAL and will never be topped!
It is funny though- years ago I was doing craft shows in Florida. Can you say the 1980’s? I was making sheep (yes I said sheep) and it was a little wooden cutout (that I hand cut out) and then it was covered with real sheep’s wool. I put a little ribbon round the neck with a little bell and a bit of fishing string mid back..and they were hung on Xmas trees. Well, this woman kept looking and looking…and said $3.00? (a lot for a small craft back then)..and kind of tsk-tsked about the price and walked away. She had a booth up too. Pretty soon her daughter comes over with the $3.00 and BUYS one. Well, the NEXT craft show we went to…sure enough she is set up and selling MY sheep…and taking all the credit for the design. And, if I do say so myself, her sheep weren’t as nearly nice as my own,if I do say so myself. THAT is when I took up decorative painting because not everyone could do that. And, now I will end this noveletta that I am writing!;>) Happy Memorial Day to you- xxoo Diana

These are just darling~ I adore them! What a creative idea- bet they look just fantastic in the boys room! I would love them for a party too- maybe holding a little Happy Birthday banner ~ Thanks for sharing your charming creations at Feathered Nest Friday! 🙂
I love these! They are original and I can see why you are protective of them! Just you wait…you will probably find them at Target next year. It seems like the big box retailers always end up selling what the crafters were made popular!
I love them!
I really love these!!! My son loves airplanes and I was looking for something nice to add to his room….
these are perfect!
Oh wow, I love this so much! The clothespin planes are so beyond cute, what a wonderful idea! I may have to copy this sometime in the future. 😀
