Advent Garland

I have been wanting to share pictures of my Advent Garland for a few days - as I was terribly excited when I put it up - well actually my husband had to reach up as I wasn't tall enough!



But my lack of photography skills mean I just can't get the pictures to do it justice - but I shall publish them anyway, otherwise Christmas will be over!



I made the hearts using Sandra's pattern from here and was inspired by Lucy's idea - here.



I am not one to get over excited, but I have to confess I was so happy when we strung this in the lounge - I think it may be one of my favourite crochet projects so far!


Thanks for stopping by - I'm off to go and wrap more presents.  I had an idea to use a Kraft wrapping paper, and make individual tags and paper bows.  Well, it seemed like a good idea at the start - but I must confess to getting a little bored of it now!  But the results are very pretty.

    It looks so pretty Sara, you did a great job with the crochet! Hope that the parcel wrapping is going well. I still have to write my cards, haven't even thought about wrapping anything yet!! xx

    It's really beautiful, Sara. I love how it looks hanging there in front of the window. I love the window too, bow windows are my favorite kind.

    I love this idea, it's such fun! Things like this are impossible to photograph and I think you've done a good job - the main thing is that we can see what it looks like and how lovely it is.

    I tend to use brown paper for everything - it's cheap, easy to recycle and no need to worry about matching paper to girls/boys/adults etc. But yes, it gets dull, and you have to work extra hard with the ribbons and tags, I find. x
