Welcome to our family's first ever Winter Holiday banner. It consists of five birds (made way back when from
here), each hanging from its own banner that is decorated with a little bit of ric-rac at the bottom. I used bias tape to pull it all together. Because I like to get a little 'symbolic' about things, each of the birds represents someone in our family...though I will admit I had to include the cat in order to fit in the word peace.
It says *joy* on the other side, which makes it completely unattached to any Christmas tune. But, honestly, what I want this year is peace and joy. That's pretty much it, in a nutshell.

lovely--I think projects like this, ones you'll use every year from now until whenever, are such great uses of time.
Meliss, this is so fabulous. I love the birds. The holiday banner idea is one that you gave me a while ago and one that I've been trying to do as each holiday approaches (because of what mama-pan says--things we'll use every year!) I adore the birds, and will now be stealing that! :)
