Place names

Today I started the place name cards. I already knew that it would be quite a time consuming project which is why I started. I now know that anyone with a name longer than 6 letters has to be scratched from the invite list.

The tools for my afternoon of crafting:


I cut little bits of bunting from the felt, stamped them with individual letters and then stuck them onto blank place cards.


The 'definites' have been done and I'll wait until the RSVPs come in before I complete anymore.


I have kept them flat for easier storage. I'm quite fond of them!

Tissue pom poms

Making tissue pom poms and watching TV are not compatible activities. The noise from me unruffling each layer made the OH reach for the rewind on the remote. The orange one was my first attempt and it's so large that I've been asked to not to make anymore until nearer the date or they'll take over our house!


I took the polite plea to mean that I couldn't make anymore so I've refrained for the moment.
