For those of you who didn't notice, I wasn't feeling very motivated on Friday. It was just one of those days when everything, and I really mean everything, goes wrong. Does it happen to you too? There are some days when it seems we attract (or maybe we just see) bad things around us. Even my husband who usually makes fun of my "bad days" was kind of surprised with my bad luck. Anyway, I survived. And there's nothing better than a good weekend to recharge the batteries.
I was thinking about what I wrote on Friday about my creativity and I actually do have some. I usually need a lot of inspiration and a great deal of models, but at then end I end up doing some nice things. So I wanted to share an idea of a garland made of felt for Christmas. I took the idea from
here. I didn't do the garland
per se, instead I adapted the idea to make some decorations for P's 1st birthday party. It looked very cute. Once you have the technique, you can actually do whatever you want.

| Elephants, ball, and number 1s for my little boy's first birthday |

| A circus without colors and a clown is not a real circus |
 |
| My mess |
 |
| The garlands ready and hanging over the sweets table (one day I'll put some pictures of the birthday's details) |
This year, for instance, for F's birthday, the theme was
Spiderman. I think it's hard to really personalize a party when you choose such a commercialized character. So I decided to make some
Spiderman faces and number 4s out of felt, using the same technique mentioned above, and I hanged them over the sweets table.
Hope you like the result and that they may inspire your creative side. Have a great week!
