We are gearing up for a big weekend with Ellie graduating on Saturday and Mother's Day on Sunday.
One of Ellie's favorite decorations is the flag bunting that I made for a summer party a few summers ago. She requested that I make more. I was happy to oblige her. I dyed the fabric during spring break, and then have constructed it this week.
I measured the original ones to make sure that they will go together well. Then I cut them out.
Next, I sewed them onto the colorful seam binding.
I don't know how long the original bunting is, but now we have an additional 30 yards. That should suit her just fine. I am happy to see that the bunting is kitty approved.
Tomorrow we are going to graduation. I am the head of the celebration reception at school, and then we are having a party here at home. It is a bit overwhelming, but I think I have it all under control. I have my fingers crossed, just in case.
Here's what we are serving at the party at our house:
