compulsive maker

Yesterday afternoon, while the sun was still shining (I'd say around 03.30pm), I felt the urge to start making something. I didn't know exactly what it was going to be, but the inspiration came the other as I was sorting all of my fabric scraps to give the ones I wouldn't use to P's teacher. Several scraps juxtaposed & I thought hey ! they're looking good together !!"
Moments of brilliance hardly happen to me, I have to add ...
So, I think I must have kept this idea in a corner of my mind, and yesterday it suddenly hit me.

A garland !! It will be a garland ! Yay !
So I started by cutting a pattern for the buntings, picked the said fabrics, as well as the felt & the crochet lace.

And as I was cutting them, I thought that a little embroidery wouldn't hurt ! Little bird tracks appeared on a triangle.

Then on another one. And another one ... and on a last one, appeared this morning, a feather.

I had a hard time taking correct photos as the weather today was so dark, thank goodness for my ol' trusty Paint Shop Pro for adding a little sunshine where there wasn't !!

Since I've finished it, I've been having so many ideas for these .... so I hope it'll be the first of a long series .... It's been very enjoyable to work on this, and couldn't stop thinking about it & wanted to have it done before the end of the day (which was the case, as it was finished before noon) ... hence the title of the post, which kind of sums up my crafty caracter anyway ... compulsive maker. Either I'm not doing a single thing, or I can't put my project down until it's over.

PS : I don't think I'm the only one, though ...

PS 2 : um, the garland is in the Shop ...
