TWOC #12 - Tour of Homes

This is another week of Red Writing's Twelve Weeks of Christmas Blog party. 

I don't have lots of decorations because I have lots of babies that would just ruin them.  I plan to make something every year so that eventually my home will be filled with decorations I made and the kids will be old enough not to destroy them LOL!

During the TWOC I saw a ragamuffin garland (i call it my Rag Swag).  Here's mine:

All you do is tie rags (or scraps) to a ribbon and attach that ribbon to rings for hanging.  I found the key was to have lots of different textures of fabric and many ribbons.  I also made my fabric scraps several different lengths and widths (9-12 inches long and 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches wide).  My ribbon was lots of different lenths and widths too.  The funny thing is that I actually had to go out and buy the fabric because I don't quilt or use fabric normally LOL!!

Conversation I had with Snuffy while I was making this:

Snuffy: "What are you making again?"

Me: "A garland"

Snuffy: "What is a garland?"

Me: "Haven't you seen one?  They are usually made with the boughs of trees."

Snuffy: {blank look}

Me: "Seriously, do you never pay attention to decorations in people's houses?"

Snuffy: "That's a girl thing"

Conversation after it was done and hanging up:

Snuffy: "Oh, now I get it!"

Me: "Do you like it?"
Snuffy: {ewww face}
Me: "Well I love it"
Snuffy: "ok"
Me: "Better to be controversial than BORING!!!"

Do you have any controversial decorations?
