[easy peezy]
If you haven't noticed, I like making things. Simple things. Easy things. I admire those that can spend hours on a just the right stitch, or those that do things over and over again just to get it right. I'm trying to work up to that...but let's be honest, I'm so not there. That is why I love little bit projects like these super easy pennant tea party invites. I made these by simply cutting decorative tape into triangles and a then sewing a stitch across the top.
Add a little hand written note, and voila! you are done.
Now that is my kind of afternoon project.
Done, and done.

Couldn't you just see me spending hours on something this easy! What am I saying you have seen me spend hours on something this easy. These days when I find myself getting hung up on the details I simply say Merilee would let it go! I love the tea party. Inspiring as always.
