Circus Goodies

As the summer is slowly coming (and school hasn't started yet), I've been spending most weekends either at the sewing machine, or in the garden. This morning Paul and I worked as a team to finish nine shiny new circus ribbons! He cut, sanded, and shaped the dowels while I went to work on getting brass eyelets punched.

After we finished, I took an extra 20 minutes to make a pretty bag for them, since up till now the ribbons had no place of their own and were often tangled in the other equipment boxes. Hurrah! I have been wanting to make some ribbons for a while now since ours are so well loved. Especially by the little ones! Nothing is more fun that dancing with a shiny new ribbon :).

Best of all, the fabric and ribbon for the bag is all 100% thrifted! Thank you SCRAP!! I love thee.
