decorating on a theme

I had to make some more flowery bunting.

sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do.




the house is being overrun by decorations of a different theme


decorations which in this house are only truly appreciated by those with a y chromosome.......

my concession was that most of it was bought from Cancer Research UK in aid of the Bobby Moore fund. My reasoning is that if you have to have football stuff then at least it can be doing some good somehow
.

thankfully there are craft elements about the world cup that appeals to a 9 year old boy.


it's even become a geography project.
meanwhile I'm wondering about red and white gingham bunting - patriotic and fabric?

  1. Swooning and sighing over that bunting.

    Perhaps you could start a Bunting of the Month Club? I'll be ready with my PayPal...

  2. Oh yes, the bunting is good, very very good.

    Hama bead mini flags? Oh yes. They're ace.

  5. Now the Hama bead things are the first WC items I actually like - well done that boy :)

    Am a firm believer that you can never have enough bunting ;)

  6. I LOVE those Hama bead flags - brilliant!

    I was thinking patriotic bunting might be useful too - for all sorts of occasions. And slowly gathering the fabrics - red, blue and white in gingham, spots and stripes is my plan.

  7. Love the bunting and the Hama bead flags. I have to confess, it wouldn't have crossed my mind to make world cup bunting - there is a single Y chromosome in this house and as long as he has access to beer and TV he's not too worried about the decor ...

  8. I'm with VintageVicki on this one. Plastic red and white flags do not do it for me. Where are all the cloth flags?

    Nice way to learn the flags. Love the bunting you made. Display it with pride.

  14. Loving the bunting! Love the World Cup crafts--one year my oldest drew all the flags on paper and taped them to his wall.

  15. Absolutely, you may as well bunt with style.

    Enjoy the football,

  16. I just love bunting and yours is so pretty - there's nothing speaks of an English summer like a string of fluttery bunting (not the World Cup kind though - can personally forego that!)

  17. love the bunting T. Red and white gingham sounds like a good one-we have stripy red and white in our back garden, and union jack in the back porch.
    Am sick of the football already. It started about 4 hours ago. Rubbish.

  18. Beautiful bunting. If you make red and white bunting - maybe you can sell it to the local pub and add some crafty goodness to the testosterone atmosphere.

    Sounds like you are using world cup to your advantage - I wish my daughter was old enough to learn geography from it, but I guess there is always next time.

  20. I love red and white, love bunting - red and white bunting? Say no more!! As for the hama flags, such a fab fab fab idea, my son's just about to get started on the back of this post. I expect they'll be turning the tv on about now?!!

    Enjoy ..
