From my kitchen

It's after midnight and I'm yawning and rubbing my eyes. Clearly I should go to bed. But I wanted to show off one of my afternoon projects first.

The wall in my kitchen felt empty. I'm not a decorator. At all. And when I do it's usually not in the best taste. I'm working on it. But I think today's craft is one I'll look back on in 5 or 10 years and still think is cool.



Even if this photo of it isn't.

Wall-hanging. Made from paper that was the camp craft when I was the craft hut lady. Because I'm sentimental and keep saving the paper when clearly it should be used.


The difficult part about this hanging is that the paper's on the fragile side. I didn't want the thread causing extra strain on the paper, so my trick was to cut up a ziplock bag to reinforce the paper at the knots/thread. Really hoping it works to keep this in decent condition for a while. Because, right now, I think it's pretty awesome.

I only took a closeup of the goldfinch. Not the crow or hummingbird.
