our wedding | super simple white and pastel garlands
I couldn't have imagined my wedding without some garlands somewhere. They're such a simple and pretty way of making a place feel festive!
Mart and I, together with my brother and his girlfriend, punched thousands and thousands of circles out of white and pastel coloured paper and sewed them together with a sewing machine. The day before the wedding, my brother hung it all in the gallery where our wedding took place, together with several strands of fairy lights.
It looked just like I hoped it would!

DIY neon garland
The lovely Allie from Paper Notes is traveling through Europe and while she's gone, she has invited guest bloggers to keep her exciting blog running.
And guess who's turn it is today? Mine! :-)
Head over to her blog to see my super easy neon garland tutorial!

This time last year...
This time last year I was sewing hundreds and hundreds of colourful circles to make garlands for our engagement party.
And yes, our windows were incredibly dirty. Even if we don't clean them super often, it's not usually that bad. :-) This was in the middle of the whole getting-our-old-leaky-windows-changed process which lasted several days but was very successful; since then we haven't had a drop of water coming in during stormy rainfalls.

Paper 'popcorn' garland
I made a popcorn-inspired garland. With white circles, scalloped rounds and little red 'cranberry' spots.

Soft colours for Mel
Today we are invited at Mel's for a summer party. It feels nothing like summer weather-wise but I have no doubt it will be lovely anyway!
I made her a little thank-you pouch and garland, with soft colours and a bit of fabric I printed just like these t-shirts (except I've now been using bleach instead of white ink as that wasn't that permanent after all...). :-)
P.S. I made the pouch following this tutorial (via here). Didn't think I would have to re-do some of the seams so many times before getting it right with the zipper but it worked out eventually...!

Rainbow for Debora
Mart made this garland for Debora, for Christmas. I helped him a bit for the gluing, but he put all the colours together.
We had to find a way of bringing it to Switzerland without it getting all entangled. :-)

The kitchen on Sunday
To fight the crushing heat we ate the rest of our frozen cucumber soup and I made a garland with tiny circles of icy refreshing colours...

Princess garland
This garland is ready to start a big trip - it will go and live on the other side of the planet, in a princess bedroom...

Apple colours
I made an apple-coloured garland today, for a special little girl who is going to turn three tomorrow!
Song of the day, the apple of my eye.

Garlands and apple-cinamon muffins
Here is a little peek at some of the garlands I made this weekend as well as of the yummy muffins that I baked today for our date with the lovely Teresa and Matilda. I was a bit anxious as I had never tried the recipe before (and some of the ingredients sounded funny; oil? I usually use butter when I bake), but they were perfect!
Find the recipe here (follow the US measurements, not the metric ones - it gave me crazy amounts for the crumble! I managed to balance the mountain of butter and save the day (thanks to my dad's recipe) but now we have enough crumble for the rest of the month!).
Songs of the day (which, as Mart just noticed, have surprisingly similar beginnings):
- Ciao Bella, Rose
- Fake Empire, The National
