Scraps and other fun things

 I am finally done with everything I wanted to do in Ava's little room.  I felt like it needed one more pop of fun... and then bam!  It hit me.  Scrap fabric pennant.  I was all inspired by Holly over at In the Fun Lane, as she's been having scrappy projects all week long.  I ransacked my supplies and came up with a roll of pink ribbon, a ton of fabric scraps in pink and orange and a bit of bright orange ric rac. 

 

 I cut out all the triangle shapes.  Grueling work.  (I kid.)

 After arranging them in a pleasing, yet random-like-I-planned-it pattern, I began hot gluing the top edges to the pink ribbon.  So easy.  And I only burned myself five times.  I think that's a new low record for me.

I hot glued the ric rac in the center.  It wasn't long enough for the whole thing, but somehow that seemed "just right."  Imperfectly perfect.  Oh how I love it!

 I tacked it up there, without measuring or over thinking it. 

After it was hung, I stood there trying not to do a little dance.  (Truthfully, I was a little danced out anyway, since we had an after school dance party in the kitchen, to One Direction and the Beieb-ster.  Well, Ava and I did, anyway.  Joe kind of just watched us like we were weirdos.  That could also be due to the fact that I have jokingly danced like Elaine from Seinfeld for so long, it's become my signature move. Ha!) Can you almost not stand the cuteness??!!

 Anyway, the pennant banner turned out cute.  And it was super quick and simple to make! And free, since I was using scraps and things I already had.  Even better!

 It's like there's a constant party going on in Ava's room now.  Maybe we should move our next dance party in here.  

I'll be linking up to Holly's scrap party, here. 

 Another fun update around here is actually on my blog!  I added a tab for house photos and another for my favorite photos.  Why didn't I do this before?  I love going back and looking for certain things and now I can deposit these photos right into special little tabs!  Bloggy organization.  Works for me!

Finally, our home is being featured on the "Home Made Lovely" tours over at sweet Heather's blog, here, today!  I honestly can't begin to describe how excited I am about this.  I've drooled over so many of Heather's featured home tours for ever!!  I think I've looked forward to it all month long.  I would love it if you wanted to come over and say "hi" to Heather and I over here.

Happy Weekend sweet things!!
