Seasonal Projects
It has been so long since I’ve made something for myself / my house / my family. Now that I’ve finished my year of handmade birthday gifts, there is time to make stuff for us! Summertime is especially full of free time, so here’s the first project I did.
Summer Stars Garland
Granny squares, er, stars!

It’s nice to have a bit of seasonal handmade fun hanging up! I’m such a fan of seasonal decor. =) I’ll have to find a leaf pattern to make a fall garland. And who knows, maybe several kinds for Winter fun! (Don’t worry, I won’t leave Spring out.) 
This was so fast and easy that I could do garlands all year, and still have time for wearables and blankets and maybe Yuletide gifts!
I want to sew up plenty of bunting, too. I’m a fan of cute baby bunting. For instance, I want to make a picnic blanket that looks like this:

Plans, plans, plans… >;) What are your crafty plans for the Summer?
